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.

Life at Washington Grange Care Home
Summer Fete brings community together
Residents and Relatives at Washington Grange enjoyed a late summer fayre. Various stalls were in place for all to join in with a bouncy castle to add to the fun for local children.
Paula Joicey, General Manager, commented: “A wonderful day has been had by all, with everyone dancing together and enjoying themselves. We look forward to the next event we hold.”
Century celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at Washington Grange as one of its residents reached her centenary in style. Ester was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she attended a special party which was held at the home. Guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s hospitality team and guests were entertained by popular vocalist, Kevin – ‘The care home singer!’ especially arranged by Esther’s family.
Reminiscing in the bistro
Residents of Washington Grange enjoyed a reminiscence session over afternoon tea, the homes hospitality team whipped up a delicious spread with everyone enjoying the treats. It was a busy day sharing stories with each other.
Dominoes
Residents enjoy a game of dominos at Washington Grange as part of their popular games afternoons. A number of residents at Washington Grange had a great time playing a game of dominos with each other and squeezed in a quick natter and a cuppa in between games. Everyone had fun as they showed a little friendly competition each game!
Keeping the mind active
Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Washington Grange. Residents took advantage of the wet weather to enjoy a games afternoon, playing old favourites! What was your favourite childhood game?
As part of the homes life enrichment programme, we include firm favourites in the homes calendar with fun-filled adapted games that they played over the years in a safe environment!
London 'Herstory'
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
