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
A Farewell to Friends
We wished good luck to two of our much-loved and admired nurses, who worked with us for 10 years. We presented them with flowers, cake and a card. Staff and residents gathered round for a hearty farewell.
Getting Outdoors
Residents have been out and about enjoying a picnic at the local park for lunch and having a cup of tea and a chat in our lovely garden. Residents love their garden so much that they broke out into a rendition of 'Danny Boy', which really pleased one of our Irish residents, as he got to join in without much effort.
Pool Evening
We had a pool evening, which was fuelled by a pint and competitiveness. Both the residents and staff found it hard to not play a game, and we soon sorted the wheat from the chaff! Even people not playing were lulled into silence, just like a live match, as the players lined up their shots.
Book Delivery
Residents were delighted when bags full of library books were delivered by Oxfordshire Home Library Service recently. Thank you, Oxfordshire Council, for this service – it is highly valued!
Flower Power
One resident, well known for her love of flower arranging made this beautiful display recently.
Musical Madness
Staff and residents all got involved as the bells and maracas came out. We played along to the Dreamboats and Petticoats CD and some residents were even up on their feet dancing!
