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

Knitting Poppies
Here at South Grange, we've been putting our knitting skills to good use. Residents, staff and families came together and crochet/knitted poppies to make a lovely display in South Grange in remembrance of our fallen heroes.
Halloween Fun
South Grange has had a very spooky few days. Decorating the home and taking part with lots of Halloween activities. The residents and staff had a great afternoon carving their ghoulish pumpkins with the winning team receiving Halloween goodies. A Halloween party was enjoyed by all with jammy doughnut’s, ducking for apples, Pumpkin piñata and gruesome sweet treats.
Spooky treats at South Grange
Barchester’s South Grange care home, in Monifieth, was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween weekend got in to full swing. Residents and staff got in to the spirit of things by carving pumpkins, decorating the home, creating Halloween flower displays, icing spooky biscuits and cupcakes prepared by the home’s chef and holding a themed Halloween party afternoon with ghoulish treats and Halloween-themed songs, music, mocktails and party games. General Manager, Fiona Torrie cackled: “Our staff and residents love any excuse for a party! The home looks fantastic with all the decorations and our head chef did us proud with lots of spooky treats – we’ve all had a brilliant time.”
Live entertainment
South grange had a wonderful afternoon welcoming back Paul one of our live entertainers. Paul entertained us with a variety of old and new songs, which the residents sang along to and even danced. After the singing and dancing our residents spirits were lifted greatly and sang for the rest of the evening.
