Activities at Oak Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
Nicola Chamberlain
Hi, my name is Nicola and I am the Lead Activities coordinator here at Oak Grange, the wellbeing and happiness of each resident are at the forefront of everything we do, and I am committed to upholding these values as your activities coordinator.
With five years of leadership experience and a passion for supporting others, I am thrilled to be part of this team. My creative background allows me to develop innovative and engaging activities that enrich the lives of residents. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and stimulating environment where everyone feels valued and connected.
Together, we will embark on a journey of discovery, enjoyment and companionship. From engaging social events and group outings to stimulating cognitive exercises and creative pursuits, our goal is to ensure that there is always something for everyone to look forward to.
Furthermore, I am here not only as an Activities coordinator but also as a friend and confidant, I encourage open communication, suggestions, and feedback from each resident and their families.

Life at Oak Grange Care Home
Equality and Deiversity Training
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed an Equality & Diversity session today, and have requested some further training and awareness sessions over the coming months.
All residents who attended were presented with a certificate and a small gift
Spring Afternoon
We had a lovely afternoon out in the spring sunshine. A visit to our local ice cream farm Back ford Bells for delicious ice cream and a drive through the country to see all the beautiful magnolia trees that are now blooming. All the pink and white blossom on the trees and the beautiful daffodils were a site to behold.
Sesory Terrace at Oak Grange
Activities with herbs can be a fun way to stimulate the senses, smelling different herbs and tasting them are two ways of engaging residents and using our other senses. We are growing our own herbs on the terrace to create a sensory explosion. Our green fingered Neil is planting some seeds with the residents to grow some lovely herbs.
