Life at Oak Grange Care Home
A Day at the Museum
Residents from Oak Grange enjoyed a day out at Chester Museum, Even though a lot of us have lived in Chester for many years we all learned something new about the history of our fair city. This fascinating museum is full of artefacts and pictures of times gone by and the rich history of Chester. Did you know Chester was founded as a roman Fortress in AD79, Known as Deva Victrix. It played a significant role in the roman occupation of Britain and was an important military and administrative centre. The Chester cathedral was originally a Benedictine Abbey. No matter how old we get we are never too old to learn something new. We finished our day off by driving down to the river Dee for a lovely ice cream and to watch the boats go by. Just one of our many days out that we do on a regular basis as we have our own minibus, the world is our oyster, well maybe not the world but within a few miles of home.
World Chocolate Day
An Explosion of Chocolate, what a day we had here at Oak Grange celebrating National Chocolate day, we started our morning off by baking some delicious chocolate cake. Then a tasting session of all different chocolate from around the World, last but not least came our chocolate fountain with an abundance of fruit to drizzle in the warm chocolate cascade. Even the visiting physios could not resist a strawberry covered chocolate jewel. This was a wonderful day full of delicious sweetness and chocolate delights enjoyed by all the residents and staff.
National Ice Cream Day
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.
Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.
A dog is for life
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.
Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
