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.

Wimbledon highlights

We had a fun time following the annual Wimbledon tennis tournaments.

We decorated our home with themed flags and banners, and our residents took part in our mini tennis championship.

Our tennis fans were delighted to watch the famous matches virtually from the comfort of their armchairs, whist we all celebrated the event with an afternoon tea party, along with delicious strawberries, cream treats and Pimm’s.

Vive la Revolution

Staff and residents at South Grange in Monifieth have been celebrating la fête nationale or Bastille Day on July 14, the most important date in the French calendar. Bastille Day marks the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, which was a symbol of the monarchy and the freeing of the prisoners held there.

The home was decorated with French flags and residents took part in French-themed activities throughout the day including watching virtual fireworks and parades, sampling some French food and wine, watching Les Miserables which everyone really enjoyed.

Fiona Torrie, Operational Manager at South Grange said: “We’ve all had great fun celebrating Bastille Day, the home looks lovely decorated with French flags. The residents enjoyed tasting French wine and cheeses. It was lovely to watch videos of previous parades and fireworks on YouTube.”

Historic gardens of Blenheim

We had a lovely time exploring the amazing gardens of Blenheim Palace through a virtual talk, hosted by the Historian - Antonia Keaney.

We enjoyed a virtual look at how the gardens at Blenheim have developed over the past 300 years - from the formality of Henry Wise through to the ‘natural’ landscape created by Capability Brown and beyond.

Everyone was very impressed by the many jewels hidden within the 150 acres of beautiful gardens.

Dartmoor Zoo

We were able to virtually dive into the impressive wildlife of Dartmoor Zoo.

We explored its grounds and learnt about the unique history of the park from the zoo’s educational team. The culmination of the tour was the live tiger training demonstration, which was wonderful to see and enjoyed by all.

Our residents were delighted to see amazing photos and short videos of the animals and take a peek inside their home.

World Chocolate Day

Staff and residents at Barchester’s South Grange care home in Monifieth had a fantastic time celebrating World Chocolate Day on July 7, surely one of the best days of the year!

Overseen by activity co-ordinators, residents prepared a selection of fruits and marshmallows to dip into the chocolate fountain. Once they had set, everyone got busy tasting their creations. The day continued with a selection of quizzes, documentaries while enjoying chocolate Martini cocktails. The theme continued throughout the meals with a selection of chocolate desserts made by Chef Calum.

Operational Manager, Fiona Torrie, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a World Chocolate Day, the eyes of all our staff lit up too. We all had great fun discussing our favourite types of chocolate down the years, it’s amazing how many different chocolate bars and flavours there have been!”
