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
Crossword Club
Our Crossword Club meet every Thursday to answer all the clues, more often than not having to look at the answers, even after the staff have chipped in, but every now and then we finish one with no assistance.
Story Time
Residents have been coming together to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time over the last few weeks, and we recently found out who killed Wellington! But the story is not yet over and we are all waiting in anticipation for next Friday.
Crocodile World
We welcomed Crocodile World into Middletown. Residents and young visitors enjoyed seeing and asking questions about animals from South America and Australia, such as alligators and bearded dragons.
Arts & Crafts
Residents and loved ones enjoyed getting creative when Emma from Creative Mojo joined us to host and arts & crafts session. We found ourselves painting sunflowers and pumpkins using autumn colours, which made the final piece.
Dominoes Training
We learned that a resident used to play dominoes at a professional level, and he has recently started teaching staff. Not for money though; that would be folly!
Songs of Praise
Our 'Songs of Praise' service was a huge hit with residents and members of the local Hailey village. Singers came to sing hymns of old and new, which everyone enjoyed.
