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
A trip out
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.
London Ladies
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.
Bingo Bonanza
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.

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.
