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
Enjoying the sunshine in our beautiful garden
Earlier on this week our residents enjoyed a cup of tea in the garden with the warm sun beaming down. It was just lovely.
Who else is excited for the warmer, sunny weather?
We are so lucky to have a beautifully laid out garden here at Cumberland Grange.
International Women's Day
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY
We have such amazing women here at Cumberland Grange.
Not only today, but everyday we feel so incredibly grateful for these ladies and all they have done and achieved. Their stories and accomplishments are so heartwarming and inspiring.
Mini Bus Trips!
Yesterday we visited Greendale Farm Shop with our residents! We got the best milkshakes and had a lovely refreshing walk around outside.
You can always be sure to have lots of belly laughs with Dennis around. Chocolate wafers are the new cigars!
St Patrick's Day
This St Patricks Day, we will be joined by Pete the Poet. Shamrocks and the rolling hills of Ireland will play a big part of Pete’s creative therapy session where our residents will enjoy some painting and poetry. We can’t wait!
World Poetry Day
World Poetry Day is such a wonderful day of the year. A Day to celebrate our favourite poets and poems. A day to re-visit and re-live those gripping moments of listening to poetry that gives us Goosebumps.
Our residents and staff here at Cumberland Grange will embrace World Poetry Day and share our much loved pieces with one another.
Nescafé Virtual Event
Thank you to Nescafé for hosting an interesting talk on the history of Nescafé products, showing us how you sustainably farm your coffee beans and giving us a virtual tour of one of your factories.
Our residents also enjoyed an iced coffee which our Head Chef John made for us all whilst we watched.
