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
Royal Celebrations
We've had a busy few weeks with royal celebrations, which have included tea parties, musical entertainment, quizzes and arts and crafts to celebrate the Queen's birthday, Harry & Meghan's wedding, in addition to the anniversary of the Queen's coronation.
Dunham Park
We took advantage of the improved weather and had a trip out to the local park at Dunham Massey. We enjoyed a stroll around the gardens, saw the deer and then finished up with tea and cake in the cafe.
Pom-Pom Chicks
In celebration of spring arriving, we got bust making these delightful pom-pom chicks.
Ladies Day
With Aintree Races Ladies Day happening just down the road from us, we were inspired to host our very own version, giving our special ladies a chance to dress up and enjoy an afternoon tea, complete with cucumber sandwiches, pink lemonade and sparkling wine. The ladies looked a treat and enjoyed trying on lots of different hats that had been loaned and donated by the local village community.
Coco in Training
Coco, the family dog of one of our care team members, is in training to become a therapy dog. As part of this training, she came into visit us to see how she reacted to the fuss and attention from the residents. Coco was a model student, but she was definitely worn out by the end of the day.
Commonwealth Games Afternoon
With the opening of the Commonwealth Games, residents celebrated with their own games afternoon. Teddy skittles proved very popular, not to mention a little competitive.
