Activities at South Grange Care Home

Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Everyone came together to Get Moving

We got moving and put the ‘fun’ into exercising with amazing activities. South Grange had a week of fun starting with a sports day with the nursery children, a Conga with residents, families and staff and an afternoon of chair dancing to Macarena, Hand Jive, YMCA and many more which all residents were able to participate in.

Our week was very busy and it was great to be able to do these activities outside in the sunshine.

Two National recognitions in one week

A massive Well done to Larry for being awarded with not 1 but 2 awards for:

Highly commended as a Dementia frontline leader by Dementia care awards on the 13th June 2024

And

Highly commended as an Exceptional care home nurse by the Stars of social care awards.

Congratulations from everyone at South Grange, your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

Pet therapy

South Grange residents were very happy to see the return of our therapet visits. We welcomed Korky the gold retriever cross and his owner Sandy. Everyone was loving the cuddles.

We can’t wait to see them back in a fortnight.

Sam showcases his artistic flair!

A big thank you to Sam for always weaving his magic in bringing the activities team ideas come to life.

This time Sam made us our very own whack a mole which is designed for the residents to whack the staff.

So far it has been a big hit with the nursery children and we can’t wait for the residents to have fun with it

The Dee Ukes

South Grange staff and residents welcomed ‘The Dee Ukes’, a ukulele band from Dundee to perform a medley of songs played solely on ukuleles. The Dee Ukes said “We were very impressed during our first ever visit to South Grange Nursing Home that we were joined by so many residents who gathered in their beautiful circular lounge which features a stunning chandelier!

The residents were in good singing voice and we had a few dancers, including a wheelchair dancer. It was great to speak to residents and a called Val told me she lives in Ramsay Street, Monifieth and, being an avid Neighbours super fan, featured in the Courier in 2022 prior to the final episode of the Australian show. Val still lives in Ramsay Street as she is having a short stay at South Grange.”

Father's Day

Residents at South Grange enjoyed a lovely day celebrating Father’s Day on June 16. With the lovely warm weather residents were able to enjoy meeting up with loved ones in the home’s garden whilst others made use of our beautiful lounges to spend time with their loved ones.

To celebrate all the fantastic dads and making our men feel more special the activity staff made up some sweet treats to deliver, this definitely put a smile on all their faces. Catherine Lappin, General Manager said: “We’ve all had a wonderful day today welcoming friends and family into the home. Occasions like Father’s Day are so important, it was fantastic to have such a lovely gathering with our residents and their loved ones all together enjoying the sunshine.”
