Activities at Sutton Grange Care Home

This August marks Sutton Grange’s 10th anniversary and celebrations are took place in Sutton Grange, this weekend.

Here at Sutton Grange we threw a special 10th Birthday party to celebrate in style.

We organised a fantastic 10th Birthday Party which included a raffle and tombola to celebrate our residents, their families and friends, and our hard-working staff members. We raised £112.50 for the raffle which is going to the injured girls in Southport.

Our talented chef prepared delicious sweet and savoury treats and refreshing drinks for all to enjoy.

To everyone’s delight, we were joined by Off their Rockers who sang throughout the afternoon.

We’ve loved getting to know our residents over the years. Each day is filled with the things that matter the most to them and our care is always tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

We would like to take this lovely opportunity to say a big thank you all families, friends, our local community and our amazing staff for all their dedication and support over the years and always.

This week's Gardening Club brought some of the best weather of the week. So outdoors we went for vegetable week!

Residents and families chatted while planting our tomatoes in hanging baskets. It will be good to see how they grow as we’ve not grown them in baskets before. We also planted green beans, mini cucumbers, peppers and chillies. Who doesn’t love a Scotch Bonnet! All our plants were purchased at our local garden centre, Briarlee Garden Centre.

We can't wait to see how our hard work grows!

We had a visit from the wonderful Poppywood Alpacas!

We have learnt all about what they eat how to look after them, we got a chance to look at wool produced from the Alpacas. All 3 alpacas were boys, named Marmalade, Dobbie & Doubledecker and they all live at home with a total of 53 other alpacas!

Thanks to Vivian and her family for a wonderful afternoon. This was what Vivian wanted as a birthday present, so the birthday girl enjoyed her birthday treat, as did everyone else who was brave enough to come and see the three beautiful creatures. We had a wonderful time!

We took a trip out to the local hub for their 'Big Lunch and Open Day' event for the community. There was lots of opportunity to meet new people and try something new, which our residents all really enjoyed. They also loved a browse of the stalls, and the various demonstrations! 

Alison, our Activities Assistant, and one of our residents even got their faces painted and joined in the Zumba class! They had a great time. We, of course, finished the afternoon with an ice cream from the ice cream van which just topped off the day.

Dementia Week Day 6 some of out resident’s painted this week. Bird boxes on Redhouse Gardens and flowers on Blossom Walk.

Redhouse have not finished the bird boxes they are a work in progress and people have already been asking to buy them.

Painting can be very relaxing, our residents certainly enjoyed themselves. Good job everyone!

Day 1 of Dementia Action Week was all about REMINISCING and sharing those precious memories that light up our hearts.

Our wonderful residents and dedicated staff gathered together for an incredibly special Live Virtual Event with chocolate giant Cadbury UK to hear about their incredible 200 year history, have a Cadbury themed quiz and take a trip down memory lane to reminisce of the nation’s most loved chocolate during Dementia Action Week.

A huge thank you to Cadbury for making the day even sweeter! We were thrilled to receive the Memory Bar Boxes, each filled with Dairy Milk bars wrapped in various designs celebrating Cadbury's rich 200-year history. It was not only a treat for the taste buds but also a beautiful bridge to the past for many of our residents.

Here's to more wonderful days ahead!
