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.

Life at Harton Grange Care Home
Pancake Day
It was Pancake Day, also known as Shrove day as a sign for the beginning of Lent, on Ash Wednesday. We took this opportunity and celebrated Pancake Day, a tradition going back in 15th century. We were fortunate to have a group of special visitors, young mothers with their babies coordinated by Bright Futures Young Mums Network . We all have enjoyed to a have a selection of delicious pancakes.
Valentine’s Day Show
We're fortunate for having another special afternoon reminiscing show with Alex Hall Music. He was absolutely fantastic and made our residents to feel so great. Together, our wonderful residents and their beautiful families, enjoyed a special Valentine's afternoon show.
I'm very grateful to all the families for their effort to come today as this means so much for our residents.
Romantic lunch
Love is certainly in the air at Harton grange, Norma and Joe, Ron and Maureen enjoyed their romantic 3 course meal which was cooked by our head chef Joy. Both couples enjoyed eating together while listening to Dean Martin.
Valentine's virtual event
Across our homes we had a fantastic time joining, Kathryn Delve, Master Florist, for a Valentine’s-inspired live virtual flower arranging demonstration. Kathryn shared brilliant and creative ways to decorate our tables with beautiful flowers that are sure to make your heart swoon!
Those participating in this virtual event put their skills to the test and followed along with some amazing creations of their own. Residents truly enjoyed the experience.
Live entertainment from Alex Hall
Love, music, good mood were all in the air as Alex Hall made us enjoy a fantastic afternoon through the rhythm of music.
Diane said that Alex has a great voice and he is welcome to come again anytime.
Some of us enjoyed to dance, to sing or just to listen to Alex music. It was great to see our manager Judith dancing with our residents and our fantastic carers sharing a good time with our residents as well. Even our deputy manager Beverly and our admin Claire managed to join us when Alex started to sing Y.M.C.A. song. Young and old, we were all happy!
A Trip to the Garden Centre
What's best to do when the weather is so cold? To visit a garden centre for a hot coffee, said Meriel and Marguerite. Therefore, we put the the warm coats on and we went to Green Fingers Garden Centre in South Shields. Moira joined us and we spent a great morning having hot coffees and cheese scones as we chatted about so many things...
