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

Activities Co-Ordinator

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.

The Pier

The Pier

We have had several trips down to the sunny coast of Southport, where we enjoyed ice cream and warm doughnuts. The pier has brought back a lot of great memories of holidays.

Pebble Art

Pebble Art

We have been joining in the craze of painting pebbles. When they were painted, we placed them around the village for other people to enjoy. We will have to see how far our pebbles go.

School Fair

School Fair

We had a lovely afternoon with the children from St Stephen's School. The school is within walking distance from Sutton Grange. They had their annual summer fair, which included may pole dancing, a talent contest, raffles, and various stalls. The animal stall had ferrets, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, pigs and a miniature horse called Dexter. As you can see, we were drawn to the animals.
