Activities at Cumberland Grange Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Gosia Maliga
I have been in the care sector since 2008, and I also have a degree in teaching. I am here to arrange and run a varied range of activities for our residents to take part in, keep them entertained and enrich their lives. From flower arranging, quizzes, arts and crafts to movies in the cinema, I try to make sure there is something for everyone here to take part in, and tailor events to suit each resident.

Evening trips out
As everyone knows our residents adore their pub trips on Tuesdays! Here's some pictures from some of our recent visits.
Getting out and about is a huge part of life here at Cumberland Grange. We are always looking for new places to go.
Gardening Club
This morning some of our residents enjoyed our weekly gardening club out on the patio area as the sun started to swoop around and the warmth began to fill the air.
This week we focused on re-potting and tidying many of our hanging baskets from our terrace areas, and once finished we checked on our raised planters and gave them a good water and spruce up.
A successful morning in our totally beautiful garden!
Cumberland Grange Choir
We absolutely love our Monday afternoons here at Cumberland Grange.
Our choir is one of our residents favourite activities. Our choir is not just about singing, it's about community, bringing all of our residents and relatives together.
Singing releases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, making it a staple activity for all of our residents.
We treasure our residents passion for the arts, and will always promote ways in order for our residents to express themselves.
Enjoying the sunshine
Well, hasn’t the weather this weekend been glorious.
Yesterday afternoon we soaked up the sunshine in our beautiful garden whilst listening to music and enjoying delicious cream teas.
Exercise Class with Lucas
This week we had the wonderful Lukas come in to do a fun fitness class with us.
Regular exercise not only boosts mental health but helps keeps bones, joints, muscles and ligaments strong - which is all vital for fall prevention and the wellbeing of our residents!
