Activities at Lancaster Grange Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Lancaster Grange Care Home
National Gardening Week
Our residents enjoyed the start of national gardening week. Everyone had great fun making sensory gardens indoors. We also we reminisced about the smell of freshly cut grass and flowers.
National Tea Day
All fun and smiles at Lancaster. Staff and residents enjoyed a wonderful morning tasting different teas and traditional cakes. We celebrated the queen's birthday and also played a tea quiz. Mo our resident ambassador played the piano too, which was a lovely touch.

Residents produced their own rainbow on the front of the home. They used their talents to great effect. The end product was wonderful and resulted in nice comments from passers-by, including lots of children stopping and looking.
