Activities at Appletree Grange Care Home
Our Activities Coordinator is constantly arranging new activities to stimulate and catch the imagination of our residents. From visiting entertainers to a regular craft table to outings on the minibus, there is always something for our residents to keep them entertained. Our Activities Coordinator also takes the time to sit with each resident and go through a life history so they get to know what the likes and dislikes of each individual are and can tailor the activities to suit them. A monthly residents meeting is held to get the views of the residents and to get suggestions from them and their families about what they would like to do and everything that can be done to accommodate their requests is done.
Christina Curtis
Hi, my name is Christina and I am the activities coordinator here at Appletree Grange. I joined both Barchester and the home in July 2024. We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we will work together to give residents the best possible experience.
We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends

Employee of the Month - February
We are pleased to announce the winner of our Employee of the Month for February is our Carer, Sam Horton. Sam has been instrumental in helping to cover shifts within the home this month. We have had a particularly difficult month with vacant shifts on both care and in the kitchen and Sam has covered most of these shifts without hesitation. She has kept her smile the whole way through and really has gone above and beyond for the company this month. From all the staff, residents and families we say a huge well done and a truly well deserved recognition for Sam!
