Activities at Sutton Grange Care Home
Here at Sutton Grange we work really hard at providing a range of activities to suit our residents needs. We understand that everyone is different and we enjoy supporting our residents in whatever activities they would like to take part in. With a dedicated Activities co-ordinator and a friendly team of volunteers we are always busy with activities. We have several clubs including; gardening, film, craft, music, puzzles, and singing. We enjoy live music and entertainment, both in and outside of the home, and have regular outings on the minibus to local places of interest. Residents take part in animal assisted therapy, afternoon tea, arts and crafts classes, and visits from local community groups and school children. We believe it is important to provide stimulating, meaningful and relevant activities for our residents in order to make friends, and build a warm community to live.
Alison Wareing
Hi, I'm Alison. I am the Activities Co-ordinator here at Sutton Grange, I joined the team in 2016.
I grew up in the local area and started my career working with animals. After I had my daughter, and before I joined Barchester, I trained as a teacher and taught lipreading and communication. The skills I learnt have been invaluable in my role today.
Now, I fill my days spending time with our wonderful Residents, helping them to live their lives to the fullest. I try to make a difference in someone’s life each day.

Life at Sutton Grange Care Home
Boxercise
We enjoyed 'boxercise' for the first time – the ladies loved it especially. We are hoping to make this a regular activity.
Afternoon Tea on the Farm
Residents were invited back to another residents' family farm to look at the animals and have afternoon tea. We enjoyed a guided tour and the horses were all keen to see us.
Crazy Golf
We went to the local park to play some crazy golf. It was a great way to spend the afternoon in the sun.
Seaside Singalong
We enjoyed a great singalong session with Cath, which was themed around the seaside. There were plenty of refreshment available for participants, and even our General Manager, Ben, joined in with the fun.
What's in the rice?
Residents had to find items in the rice; it's not as easy as it look, as they found out the hard way.
Sutton in Bloom
The garden at Sutton Grange is looking as beautiful as ever, despite the dry weather. Residents have been keen to spend some time outside because of how nice it's been lately.
