Activities at Middletown Grange Care Home
We aim to provide a variety of activities that will both mentally and physically stimulate the people we support. Residents have a range of different needs and interests, and it is crucial that these are reflected in the activities available, so that each individual is able to participate to the best of their ability. We organise both group and individual social events that everyone is welcome to take part in; there is a weekly outing to local places of interest, including the garden centre and the local farms, parks and museums. In addition, we enjoy regular visits from entertainers and even exotic animals. We also host events such as 'Beach Day' that relatives and friends are encouraged to participate in. Getting involved in charities is a big part of our ethos, so events such as 'PJs for Pudsey' and pirate-themed days are regularly hosted to raise money for different foundations, including the Alzheimer’s Society.

Life at Middletown Grange Care Home
Christmas Lantern Making
Today, our visiting Christmas elves brought a day full of festive arts and crafts. They assisted our residents to make the most beautiful paper lantern decorations which they painted with brightly coloured sparkling glitters and golden stars. They're going to catch the light beautifully.
Christmas at Blenheim Palace
What a marvellous ‘magical’ day we all had at Blenheim Palace.
We arrived in a convoy of minibuses, staff and residents from Middletown Grange along with 6 further Oxfordshire based Barchester homes all to be treated to a fabulous Christmas event courtesy of Blenheim Palace
The organisers at Blenheim Palace were amazing hosts. Firstly we discovered the story of The Nutcracker re-imagined within the Palace rooms, each one exquisitely transformed and filled with hidden surprises – from the toymaker’s workshop on a frosty Christmas Eve; through the glistening Land of Snow and onto the candy-cane Kingdom of Sweets adorned with the sweetest of treats and larger-than-life gingerbread men. It’s a world where nothing is quite as it seems, from a dashing Nutcracker Prince and an army of mice to a Sugar Plum Fairy and a music box with a difference.
General Manager, Clem Heriman, said: “Today’s Christmas tour has been such a special occasion. Our residents loved being able to experience all that Blenheim Palace has to offer at Christmas, from the beautiful Palace rooms right down to the outdoor Christmas market, we got to take in all the sights. It really has been a wonderful treat for us all.”
The day culminated with a tea party in the prestigious Marlborough Room, with a slice of Christmas chocolate log cake for us all!
We'd like to thank Blenheim Palace for their hospitality and making our day so very special.
Christmas Trees Up!
Staff and Residents have been busy putting the finishing touches to our Christmas trees; one for each communal area. They all look so pretty... It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas!
Nail Pampers
Our care team are such a lovely lot, this afternoon, in between chores they took time to provide a spot of pampering, with a pop-up nail bar. Our lucky ladies were thrilled with the colour combinations.
Christmas Trees Preparation
In preparation for tomorrow’s '1st Day of Christmas', resident Marion, and Housekeeper Stephanie spend the day building our home Christmas trees; one for each lounge and communal area.
They’ve colour coded each bauble and pretty festive item to ease the decoration process for our resident ‘Christmas elves’. We’ll post pictures of the final displays once the team have finished.
Middletown Grange care home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering personalised care, full of life enriching activities for all abilities.
Spring Bulb Planting
It's that time of year for bulb-planting. We enjoyed some lovely fresh air as we tidied up our flower beds. #barchester100hoursoutside
