Activities at Harton 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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Harton Grange Care Home
Halloween Celebrations
It was Halloween, so it was a spooktacular show! This year we had Christine as special guest. We had a special treat as well, it wasn't a trick as our chefs prepared lots of tasty Halloween recipes.
Creating with Clay
We had a busy (and creative) afternoon making and painting clay shapes, representing different birds or flowers. Thank you to Jos from Equal Arts for helping us to have this session with the ceramist Meg.
A visit from Harton Harmonisers Choir
What a wonderful afternoon! We have had Harton Harmonisers Choir in to visit and they brought a lot of joy in our home. We just loved to hear and see them. Harton Harmonisers is an acappela singing group based in South Shields and they sing unaccompanied (acappela) songs.
Sing a long with Nicky and Lucy
Everyone really enjoyed our afternoon with Nicky and Lucy for a wonderful, cosy and entertaining afternoon sing-along. Even a few residents from another Barchester home, Bedewell, attended this session of sing-along.
Live entertainment from Alex Hall
It was a fabulous afternoon with a special guest: Alex Hall. We enjoyed a range of songs, from present day to the most iconic ones. Everyone sang with Alex, some of us even danced. With this festive afternoon we are a step closer Christmas.
Making Ceramic Brooches
Thanks to Jos Forester-Melville, HenPower Project manager, we had a fantastic art and craft session: we made ceramic brooches with hens on. Even Dennis enjoyed the session and helped to make some shapes from clay. There was an incredible atmosphere with plenty of music and laughs as well. Meg, the ceramist, appreciated the help offered by our guests, Jos, Susan Ratliff, Glenda Cooke, and Phil Hodgson.
