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
Cheshire Dog's Home
A new stock of white fluffy towels raised the question of what to do with the older slightly frayed ones. We decided to donate them to the local dog's home and even made a trip of it. We received a very warm welcome from the staff at Cheshire Dog's Home as the residents wandered round the kennels. Afterwards, the marvellous staff took time to talk to the ladies and brought out some dogs for them to stroke and hold.
Party Time
It was an honour to host a golden wedding anniversary party for one of our Memory Lane residents and her husband. They were joined by many members of their family and lots of friends came to wish the couple a happy anniversary.
Year of the Dog
To celebrate the Chinese Year of the Dog, we had a dog-themed afternoon. Residents reminisced about old pets and took part in a canine quiz. We had some special guest visitors too: Charlie the Yorkie, Meg and Twiggy, who were all more than happy to pose for the camera.
Not All News Is Bad News
It's always a good news day when the weekend papers come out on Bridgewater Terrace; along with a morning coffee, residents can catch up with and chat about what is happening in the world.
World Book Day
Mary Poppins and Bert blew in on the wind to Cheshire Grange to celebrate World Book Day. Mary and Bert were joined by residents and visitors on all communities and enjoyed listening to everyone take turns reading favourite poems and extracts from Treasure Island, Pride &Prejudice and Winnie the Pooh, along with discussions about favourite books.
Love Is in the Air
What better way is there to celebrate Valentine's Day than with flowers, chocolates and a glass of Buck's Fizz whilst being serenaded by Richard Millington as he tinkled the ivories? Residents got into the spirit and were soon swaying in time to the music and humming along to well-known favourites.
