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
40 Chocolate Brownies going to a good cause
40 Brownies all freshly made by our amazing Head Chef John, on their way to St Thomas Food Fight.
What is St Thomas Food Fight?
They are an incredible volunteer group, providing free food for those in need, whether in poverty, are homeless or vulnerable.
As a community we must come together and look after each other. So here at Cumberland Grange we are delighted to support this wonderful volunteer group who are on a mission to help others.
Valentines Day
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Today our residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon with Sound Easy. Lots of wonderful songs were sang.
There was a lot of toe tapping and singing, as we all enjoyed being together enjoying the music.
Our head chef John also whipped up some of these scrumptious valentines inspired cupcakes for the occasion.
Trips to the seaside
Oh how it feels so good to get out and about, especially to the seaside.
Every day we do lots of wonderful life enriching activities and one of our favourite things to do is to go out on the mini bus and visit different places.
Yesterday we went to Exmouth beach for a stroll and some fresh air.
We love our garden here at Cumberland Grange
We love to keep our garden in tip top shape and looking beautiful.
Our residents have lots of exciting things planned for the garden including planting more flowers, growing lots of vegetables and adding more bird feeders - we have to look after the woodpecker that we spotted the other day!
Love is in the air here at Cumberland Grange
On February the 14th we will be having a Valentines party here at Cumberland Grange. We have a wonderful band coming in to sing to our residents, we will have lots of delicious food prepared by our amazing chefs, lots of dancing and a whole lot of love!
In preparation for our party, residents have been writing what love means to them on beautiful card hearts which we will hang up for all to enjoy.
Morning Dance
When a great song comes on and all you want to do is dance.
Yesterday we had such a lovely morning together in the lounge, with some of our residents using the Magic Tables and others having a little boogie, as you can see!
Having fun is what it’s all about here at Cumberland Grange.
