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.

Life at South Grange Care Home
RAF Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
Balloon Badminton
Residents enjoyed a morning full of laughter as we held a badminton competition. They showed great teamwork and sportsmanship as they aimed for the ultimate victory. Everyone enjoyed themselves and joked about becoming Olympic champions.
Garden Club
We have been continuing our current garden club projects while enjoying the beautiful weather. Residents requested new bird stands for the garden, our maintenance team were quick on the job and build us stands for residents to paint.
Residents also continue to water their plants and are pleased how well our strawberry plants are coming on, we all can’t wait to make some beautiful strawberry tarts!
National Sausage Roll Day
Staff and residents at South Grange had a fantastic time celebrating National Sausage Roll Day, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious pastries.
Staff and residents experimented with many different types of fillings and flavour combinations and all said after tasting that it was a great success!
Enjoying the sunshine in our garden.
Residents have been enjoying spending time in the sunshine playing golf in our putting green, games in our gazebo and soaking up the sun on our patio listening to everyone's favourite classics.
Refreshments and freshly baked cakes were available for residents to also enjoy.
Pet Therapy
Residents have been enjoying our weekly visit with Penny, our 10 year old golden Labrador with handler Tom. Everyone has been enjoying their one to one time with Penny, full of cuddles and laughter.
