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.

Life at Cumberland Grange Care Home
A wonderful Christmas was had
Santa (Bob our Head of Maintenance), with the help of our General Manager Marc and Head of Activities Gosia worked hard to spread joy around our home on Christmas morning with presents for all of our residents.
As you can see there were lots of happy faces as we spent a wonderful day together, joined by many family and friends for a Christmas dinner feast cooked by our wonderful Head Chef Chris. A day full of love and laughter!
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK PANTO
It was funny, it was witty and it was a perfect way to end the Friday before Christmas. We sang and we laughed, we cheered and we booed. Well done everyone - so udderly fantastic!
Everyone played their roles so perfectly.
Until next year…!
Our runner up for Carer of the Year!
We are thrilled that our very own Carer Donna has been awarded the Carer of the year runner up for the Barchester South Division.

Supporting our local community
Whilst we’ve been busy enjoying lots of wonderful festive events here at Cumberland Grange and whilst our carers have continued to shine and just being totally amazing, Mica our Home Services Advisor has been working hard behind the scenes supporting our local community!
Last week we had the privilege of supporting Age UK Exeter with their fundraising event - our chefs baked three delicious cakes for them which went down a storm!
Then this week, we had the privilege of supporting our local Neighbourhood Policing Team Devon & Cornwall Police with their Christmas hampers for the elderly within our community.
Being able to support local charities and organisations is something which means a lot to us here at Cumberland Grange.
HORSE & CARRIAGE
We had a fantastic morning with Cobs and Carriages this week with a wonderful ride on Woodbury common.
The weather may not have been the best, but that didn’t stop us having a lovely time as we always do!
We can’t wait to do this again soon.
FLOWER ARRANGING
Our residents have been busy putting together some beautiful flowers ready for Christmas!
They have created some wonderful festive bunches which we have dotted around the home for us all to enjoy.
