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.

Christmas Photoshoot

South Grange had a Christmas photoshoot with a special visitor. Residents all joined in having their photographs taken with Santa in our lovely decorated home.

Donkey Sanctuary Manchester

Across our services, Residents enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of the Donkey Sanctuary Manchester.  Residents were thrilled to meet the lovely herd of donkeys, including Henry and his best friend Tiny Tim and to learn more about their every day care.  They were introduced to the sanctuary’s work and the impact they make to the lives of donkeys in need worldwide.  The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Christmas Concert

The residents and staff enjoyed our Christmas concert with live music from our local musician Paul Sullivan. There was lots of singing along and dancing from residents, staff and the musician himself. A great afternoon had by all!

Christmas Jumper Day

Staff and residents had a great day wearing their Christmas jumpers. We had a competition for which resident has the best and which staff had the best. Our staff member had a Disney themed jumper that lit up with lights and our resident had a Grinchmas jumper.
