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
Cheese & Wine Afternoon
We recently had the privilege of sampling some local wine and cheese from The Cheese Shed, Bovey Tracey a lovely afternoon was had, leisurely grazing and socialising over some nibbles, complete with information sheets about each individual cheese.. It's safe to say there weren't many leftovers after this!
Cheers everyone for coming, and a big thank you to Ian and Ali for the fine selection.
Political History Morning
We recently enjoyed a presentation all about our political history and leaders throughout the years in light of the general election - followed by a fun quiz, music and some classic memorabilia!
Thank you Paul, for a stimulating and educational morning.
The power of bubbles!
Just look at those beautiful smiles!
Some of our residents recently enjoyed a wonderful display of bubbles which was a great way to reminisce - bubbles take us back and remind us of our childhood. They are pretty, fun and mood boosting which means for people living with dementia especially, they offer an in-the-moment wholesome connection and interaction.

Our lovely Gosia is GETTING MARRIED
Today was Gosia’s last day before taking the trip to Italy to marry her love.
We can’t gatecrash the wedding so staff gatecrashed Choir this afternoon which our residents were in on.
We celebrated with bubbles, cake and a whole lot of love for our Bride to Be.
We already can’t wait to see Gosia when she’s back to hear all about the wedding!
A truly wholesome afternoon.
Dementia Information Session
Thank you so much to Gina from Exeter Dementia Action Alliance for joining us last week to deliver one of your fantastic Dementia Information sessions.
So incredibly insightful and moving.
The feeling of togetherness in this room was really powerful as we shared our own stories on how Dementia has become apart of our lives through our loved ones living with it.
Gina spoke about meaningful ways to support our loved ones living with Dementia and she shared stories and statistics. We could have sat there all day long talking about Dementia and listening to Gina, what an amazing lady!
Thank you Gina, we can’t wait to welcome you back again for another session soon.
Summer Evenings
A beautiful evening in the summer sunshine at The Passage House Inn, Topsham.
Joined by some of our wonderful families, we enjoyed refreshing cold drinks and nibbles together as we overlooked the water with the warmth from the sun on our faces.
There’s no better way to spend a Tuesday evening.
9 pubs down, 41 to go!
