Activities at Alice Grange Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Penny Allen
Hi, my name is Penny and I am the Lead Activities Coordinator here at Alice Grange.
I have many years of experience working in care homes in Activities, leisure and lifestyle roles.
I love being part of the Alice Grange team and supporting our residents to live their best lives with fun, interesting, and varied activities available every week. I always feel that the residents' input into our weekly planner is important as it gives all residents equal opportunity to explore new interests as well as keeping up with previous passions and hobbies.

Life at Alice Grange Care Home
Unscene Suffolk
We are happy we had the chance to see and listen the group for Unscene Suffolk. Our residents are happy that with this donation the group can cover their travel costs beyond Ipswich.
Margaret said: ''It was an amazing big group of wonderful people that are really talented and I also loved the dogs. I had a fun afternoon''
Enjoying the Sunshine
A few of the ladies here at Alice Grange decided to enjoy some Spring Sunshine. The ladies joined our resident Margaret to feed the birds, and have a nice morning walk as the weather was really nice. The ladies enjoyed spending good quality time in the garden - It truly does wonders for the soul.
Yoga at Woodbridge Community Hall
Amy from Cohere arts invited us to join yoga at Woodbridge Community Hall, where residents enjoyed socialising with new people, doing exercises and having a nice warm cup of tea/coffee and biscuits at the end.
Cohere Arts recieves a donation from Barchester
Cohere Arts is a community interest company providing opportunities for communities to engage with arts. Barchester donated £600 for the Cohere Arts Community. Also, Amy was happy to come around the care home and talk with the residents about cohere community and do 30 minutes yoga with the residents.
A visit from Children
The children from NCS came along in the care home, to put a smile on the residents face. They planned the workshops, and they brought along lots of games. Residents were delighted They spent time together, dancing and singing. Children also were in every resident's room, making their day even better.
