Activities at Leeming Bar Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Kimberley Calvert
Hi my name is Kimberley, Senior Activities Coordinator, and here at Leeming Bar our life enrichment programme is varied, providing choice for our residents and incorporating their interests and hobbies. We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within Leeming Bar, and we work together to give residents the best possible experience.
We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centred program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents, and their families and friends.
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

Residents visited by Alpaca Wabbits....
Leeming Bar Grange care home, in Leeming Bar was full of animal mischief on 4th April when a group of alpaca ‘wabbits’ came to visit the home.

Chicks hatch at Leeming!

There was a lot of egg-citement at the home as 4 chicks hatched throughout the week. Residents were able to pet and feed the chicks as they found their footing in their new home. This fabulous programme allows residents and the team an interactive experience in caring for these beautiful feathered friends. Along with the opportunity for meaningful reminiscence with many residents having reared chickens throughout their lives
