Activities at Washington Grange Care Home
Our group and individual activities are designed to mentally and physically stimulate those we care for. We try to organise a mix of activities and events that reflect the interests and capabilities of residents for anyone and everyone to participate in. Our evenings of afternoon entertainment is enjoyed by residents and their families, who are all encouraged to sing along and dance. We try to involve our local community; members of the clergy often visit to hold lovely afternoon church services for residents. It is essential that our team are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for those we support through person-centred activities, and that everyone has a fun and active time here at Washington Grange.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Washington Grange Care Home
Nutrition and Hydration Week
To promote nutrition and hydration week at Washington Grange, we tested our taste buds by trying a range of fruit. Strawberry and plum came out on top. We also tried a range of fruit juices and some flavoured water. They went down lovely.
The next day, our cook made us some fruit smoothies which everyone said were delicious and would like to try more. Even some of the family members commented on how nice they were.
Red Nose Day
On Friday 21st March we had a fun day starting with karaoke with the staff and residents. Everyone sang better than the activities' coordinator that for sure.
Staff dressed up in red and the residents had some funny faces with their own red noses. The activities' coordinator made a tombola and a football card to raise money for the great cause. The amount will be announced next week for the total raised. A fun day was had by all raising money.
St Patrick's Day!
On 17th March, the residents celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a party.
Alex Hall, the singer, got all the residents dancing and having an amazing time.
Staff dressed up for the occasion and it made the residents laugh. It was a fun day had by all. The lovely cook Lisa made some themed St. Patrick's Day cakes for all the residents to enjoy with a cuppa.
Valentine's Day Celebrations!
On Valentine's Day, we invited family members and loved ones to join them in a delicious three-course meal in our conservatory, making it a special day for them all. We decorated it all and made it extra special for them.
All family members thanked us so much for an amazing special day they had with their loved ones and making some special memories together.
Abe's 90th Celebrations
The 13th February was a very special day in our home as one of our lovely residents, Abe, celebrated his 90th birthday, so we had a lovely party with his friends and family, entertained by the lovely Kev The Care Home Singer.
Not only was it Abe's birthday, but this day meant a lot to him as he had been married to his lovely wife for 67 years, so we celebrated their anniversary in the celebrations also.
Little Movers
Here at Washington Grange we have our monthly visit from the Little Movers for our intergenerational session.
The residents thrive from these sessions as they love the interaction with the children, and it puts smiles on their faces and some of our residents get overwhelmed and shred a few tears.
