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
Our Entertainers are back!
Middletown Grange have welcomed back entertainers!
Our first outdoor performance came courtesy of 'Mr Alan Hook' the amazing Saxophone player, whose sing-a-long tunes lighted spirits and voices throughout the home and gardens. We're looking forward to inviting more in, and outdoor entertainers. Our resident’s absolutely loved Mr Hook’s renditions and Marion's ice lollies went down extremely well during the mini concert!
Oomph! Cereal Milk Ices
Marvellous Marion took time to create her resident friends some delicious 'Cereal Milk Ice Lollies' on Tuesday, in preparation for the good weather, and our first 'live' outdoor performer visit on Wednesday.
Teri-Ann and Marion had a great time following the Oomph Wellness recipe and reminiscing on homemade ices from Marion's childhood.
Potting and planting
Our residents are just loving the sunshine this week. Taking full advantage of a break in the showers to get out in our gardens and start potting and planting. Big thanks to Chef Toby for his generous gift of strawberry plants. Pat's looking forward to the puddings you can make with the 'fruits of our labours' later this summer.
First Aid and CPR Training
The staff at Middletown Grange receive regular training on all aspects of care. Today the team received a refresher course on First Aid, and CPR training, delivered by Sharon Norris, Operational Trainer, Barchester Healthcare. The classes are always well attended, even resident; Marion joined in!
Quiz time and Bingo!
Eyes down in concentration!
Its quiz time at Middletown Grange followed by a spot of bingo. Our residents love getting together to test themselves, with a wonderful quiz and the opportunity to win a few prizes at bingo over afternoon tea.
Flowers for All
More beautiful blooms from our resident flower arranging group. They love getting together to chat over the various florals, and reminisce on what flowers their respective husbands would buy them over the years. Each of the vases are now brightening our communal areas for all to enjoy. Thank you so much ladies.
