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
National Poetry Day
To celebrate National Poetry Day, we all shared our favourite poems, past and present. It was really lovely to hear the residents reading their favourites aloud to the rest of the group.
National Older Person's Day celebrations!
To celebrate National Older Person's Day we spent the morning playing old fashioned games at our local primary school. The residents and children had such a wonderful morning interacting and enjoying each others company!
Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre
We had such a lovely time brushing the ponies at Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre.
Sue's Music
There was lots of dancing and musical fun when Sue came to perform for us.
Swingball
Our new swingball set is proving to be a big hit with residents, staff members and visitors.
Seaside Day
After reminiscing about holidays and trips to the seaside in August, we decided to have a seaside day.
Residents were delighted to listen to sounds of the seaside, such as the calming noise of waves lapping; and tastes of the seaside, which included fish & chips, candy floss, sticks of rock and lots more!
There was lots of holiday memorabilia, including a suitcase full of bikinis, flip flops, saucy postcards, buckets and spades and seashells.
We were also treated to live entertainment from Sandra Currie.
