Activities at Oak Grange Care Home
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!

Life at Oak Grange Care Home
Flossy's Visit
Residents and staff at Oak Grange care home in Mollington dressed to impress, donned their best hats, and had their bets at the ready for Royal Ascot, which ran from 16th – 20th June.
This year however, due to the current situation, there was a change to proceedings. For the first time in the event’s 250+ year history, in light of the current lockdown and in-line with government advice, Royal Ascot 2020 will take place behind closed doors.
But racing fans at Oak Grange weren’t phased by this, as they had the opportunity to enjoy the event from the comfort of their own armchair. Residents and staff got together to watch the races, and also celebrated in a very Royal Ascot fashion by having a garden party with food, music and the special visit of Flossy from @NikkisPony a lovely Pony who delight residents and family members.
Carers Week
We had lots of fun celebrating Carers Week here at Oak Grange.
Residents enjoy tour of Hereford Cathedral
We had a lovely time joining the team from Hereford Cathedral for an exciting virtual session.
We enjoyed a glimpse of this spectacular building and its treasures in a series of short pre-recorded videos. From the stunning gardens which lead down to the River Wye, to the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library.
It was wonderful to learn more about the history and beauty of Hereford Cathedral.
Professionals Appreciation
We recently invited local Health professionals into our garden at Oak Grange to say a massive thank you for their dedication and care especially over the past 18 months. We made up lovely Barchester goodie bags with stationery items and Prosecco, a selection of cheese and biscuits.
Carer's Week
Happy Carers Week. We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers at Oak Grange in Mollington.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
Our carers received numerous donations and gifts from local organisations and businesses and lovely thank you cards from our community members, relatives and friends.
Skittles Tournament
Residents at Oak Grange have been keeping themselves busy virtually competing against participating Barchester Sister homes. We haven’t won yet but we’ve been having lots of fun playing Skittles and there's time yet as the tournaments will continue throughout the year.
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active and socially connected, providing a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities
