Activities at Leeming Bar Grange Care Home
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.

Life at Leeming Bar Grange Care Home
A Blooming Mother's Day Treat
Mothers’ Day has been different for everybody across the world this year. Many people have been faced with the reality of not being able to give their mum a hug on this special day. The home's local Lidl supermarket kindly donated 20 bunches of roses to raise the spirits of the residents, and to thank all the key workers here at the home for all their hard work.
Many of the residents have not received a rose in years, while others have never received a rose in their life. We are delighted that, with the generosity of Lidl, it brought a smile to their faces and shows them how much we care during this unprecedented period. We continued the celebrations with a wonderful afternoon tea.
Spring Sunshine
Residents at Leeming Bar made the most of the spring sunshine with an afternoon tea picnic in the home's beautiful garden.
The picnic table was set up with a variety of different treats, including cakes, buns, chocolates and a selection of drinks. Everyone enjoyed having a catch up over cake and tea, while listening to the children play in neighbouring gardens.
