Activities at Wood Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Wood Grange Care Home
10 years at Wood Grange!
Teresa (nurse) celebrates 10 years’ service at Wood Grange in a joint celebration with James and Gee (kitchen staff) on the successful completion of the chef academy.
We gathered the team and residents together in the café to surprise and congratulate them.
Peter takes a trip!
Peter takes a trip into town to the Don’t Lose Hope charity for a coffee and a wood workshop.
He was welcomed with open arms and jumped straight into the activity thanks to the encouragement of others. Peter sat comfy by the fire to warm up after a hard morning of graft!
Zoo Lab
Zoo Lab made a great impression on Wood Grange! Chris brought a variety of animals for us to meet.
Everyone faced their fears and embraced the opportunity.
We saw Geckos, frogs, snakes and tarantulas.
David's Trip to Town
David enjoyed a trip to Bourne town, where he made a visit to Wetherspoons, which he had never been to before.
David thoroughly enjoyed his cappuccino and lapping up the change of scenery, breathing in the fresh air and watching the world go by.
Namaste relaxation with tender loving care
The residents had a wonderful time being pampered, enjoying a spa-like treatment at Wood grange.
With the tranquil music and colourful bursts setting the scene and beautiful treatments offered by the activities team.
The ladies enjoyed a hand massage, a manicure and a facial.
Grandad Elf visits Wood Grange
The residents were so pleased to see grandad elf make an appearance at wood grange. He spread Christmas spirit with his helper 'tagalong' (his dog).
He played his ukulele so the residents could sing carols, performed magic tricks and checked they were all on the nice list, including Katya (general manager)! Grandad elf left the residents with a signed photograph to remember him by until next year.
