Activities at Drummond 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.

Cheese, Wine & Comedy Night

Residents, staff and visitors enjoyed a cheese & Wine evening that was followed by a visit from comedian, Gareth Waugh. Gareth said that he had performed at many places, but never in a care home before. Residents enjoyed a drink as well as the variety of cheese on offer.

Pancake Day

Residents at Drummond Grange had a lovely time making pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. When the pancakes were ready, they added strawberry sauce, whipped cream and fruit to them. They were then rolled up and cut in half because of how big they were.
