Activities at Cheshire Grange Care Home
The activities team are constantly striving to meet the varied needs of everyone who lives in our home, offering a wide range of group and individual social events. There are regular visits from entertainers, along with craft activities, baking, games & puzzle days and pampering sessions, which fill the week. However, we can always find time for outings and just spending that little bit of special time with residents who enjoy the peace and quiet. We aim to bring the activities to the individual, whilst making it a whole home experience.
Jo Eland
After originally starting at Cheshire Grange in May 2015, I'm delighted to be back in the role of Activities Coordinator. It is a privilege to be in this role and spend time, getting to know our ladies and gentleman and their loved one, whilst doing all the fun things that can make such a difference to their days.

Life at Cheshire Grange Care Home
Happy Carers week
Happy Carers Week! We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers here at the home.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
Floral demonstration
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Star of Nimrod
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
Ten Pin Bowling
It all got a little competitive as residents had an afternoon of bowling fun, residents were very serious about the task in hand and were delighted when they got a strike, they were equally delighted with the obligatory tea & cakes that followed.
Gardening Club
As part of our newly formed Gardening Club , residents enjoyed planting seeds, which will go into their own mini propagator and hopefully with a little nurturing and TLC will sprout into seedlings that we will then transplant into our planters on the Memory Lane balconies do give us lots of colour and hopefully attract some butterflies too.
Congratulations your majesty
As part of our Jubilee Celebration here at Cheshire Grange, we have decorated crowns with messages of good wishes and congratulations for our Jubilee Tree. There were lots of messages of thanks for the Queens hard work over the last 70 years and a special message from Dot …. Queenie, I would like to try your care home, but mine is quite good!!!!
