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
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.
Our very own Reindeers
South Grange maintenance team and residents designed and made a sleigh and reindeers for their Christmas Grotto. It took them a few weeks of hard work, but we all agreed they look amazing.
Christmas Card Making
Residents have been enjoying making Christmas cards this weekend for family and friends.
Residents had a demonstration of different themes and ideas they can use, once the demonstration was finished everyone made beautiful cards with materials of their choice and were delighted with the outcome.
