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
The Wizard of Middletown
The amazing Tickled Pink Productions visited to perform The Wizard of Oz for us. The show was enjoyed by all and residents left feeling uplifted.
Fruity Friday
Residents on our Memory Lane community were treated to a 'Fruity Friday', where the activities team bring round 3 different fruits and residents have to guess what they are and try new flavours. This month it was pomegranate, pineapple and physalis.
Team Bowls
Residents got competitive as they split up into pairs and battled each other for the top prize.
Buttercross Beavers
22 children from the local Buttercross Scouts group, aged between 6 and 8, visited the home recently to decorate cupcakes, paint rocks and see a presentation from a resident.
Beavers and residents enjoyed themselves as they learned from someone who was affected first hand by the war and was a Cub Scout themselves many years ago.
Skittles with Gfitness
Residents enjoyed a bit of fun with their morning exercise, as they were tasked with skittles to help improve hand-eye coordination and upper mobility.
Remembrance Day Preparations
