Activities at Harton Grange Care Home

International Women's Day is a very important event to celebrate every women for their fantastic achievements, legacy and courage to fight for a fairer and better world. Audrey, Dot and our kitchen team Joy and Liz (helped by Matthew and myself) went to the Sutton Hall in South Shields to mark the International Women's Day together with a very warm community gathered by Bright Future Charity. It was a beautiful evening to see our team sharing their skills (knitting, crocheting) with the new generations. Audrey and Dot spent days knitting, sometimes together. We didn't dance as others did, but we enjoyed to have a great time together celebrating this wonderful day, International Women's Day.

Ammina asked to have an afternoon out, in a garden centre, and invited her friend Moira to come along.

We enjoyed an afternoon tea with chocolate gateau and cheese scone. Ammina said this is her way to celebrate Mother's day and is looking forward to see her daughters.

What a delicious red velvet cake, said Ann, Maureen and David. After a reminiscing driving along the coast we stopped at the Stack in Whitburn where we had plenty of time to speak about the changes that took place in time in this part of South Shields. David was happy to meet, by chance, one of his neighbours as we walked towards the Stack.

As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, Residents from across our services were thrilled to join tour guide, Mandy Morrow, for an exciting talk about some Legendary London Ladies.

Mandy shared the fascinating stories of eight ladies with us, from the one of the richest heiresses in the world to the original 'Roaring Girl'.

Everyone who participated truly enjoyed the experience and were delighted to take a walk down memory lane.

Across the country our homes and hospitals came together to find out which care home or hospital had the best Bingo players as we teamed up for Barchester’s Bingo Bonanza.

Residents were treated to some exciting virtual games of Bingo as part of Barchester’ very own game show series.

Everyone who participate had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

Here at Harton Grange we have been working incredibly hard to achieve high standards of care for our residents and we are delighted to celebrate an amazing achievement.

We are excited to announce that our home received a 10 out of 10 review score on Carehome.co.uk. A broad selection of friends and families have kindly left glowing reviews of their experiences with the home on the website.

To reach an overall score of 10 is a huge team effort and we are proud of each and every one of our staff members.  A big thank you to all!
