Activities at Wood Grange Care Home

Join us in celebrating a decade of dedication and excellence! Today, we honour Amanda, who has been an invaluable part of our Wood Grange family for 10 years. Her commitment, compassion, and unwavering dedication have touched the lives of countless residents and colleagues. Today we showered her with gratitude and appreciation for all the work she has done in making Wood Grange a warm and loving place. Here's to many more years of making a difference! Amanda made a comment saying, “Thank you everyone for your incredible generosity and for making me feel so special”

Staff and residents at Wood Grange Care Home in Bourne marked International Day of Happiness by spending the day preparing bunches of flowers to hand out to the local community and businesses.

Nigel, Community Champion at Sainsbury’s in Bourne, kindly organised to have flowers donated to Wood Grange Care Home to support them with their mission which was to spread happiness. Wood Grange residents created small bouquets of daffodils and other flowers to hand out in the local community as well as the homes staff members.

Katya Petrova, General Manager at Wood Grange said: “Our residents really enjoyed putting bunches of flowers together and giving back to the local community on such a special day. It has put everyone in such good spirits – having an International Day of Happiness is a fantastic idea!”

Wood Grange staff feel very strong about creating strong bonds between our residents and their families, especially on special occasions like Mother’s Day. One of the highlights of our calendar is our Mother’s Days afternoon tea, where residents have the joy of sharing delightful treats and heart-warming conversations with their loved ones.

Our elegantly decorated dining room provides the perfect setting for families to come together and create lasting memories. With a delicious selection of finger sandwiches, cakes and  scones our afternoon tea menu is sure to please every palate.  At Wood Grange Care Home, Mother’s Day is not just a day; it’s a celebration of timeless bond between mothers and their families.

What a delightful day at the garden club! Residents enjoyed being together, laughing, and being joyful as they planted flowers, sharing gardening tips, and enjoyed refreshments together. It was a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes from spending time together and connecting with nature. We are looking forward to more fun-filled days like this, everyone is welcome to join us on Monday mornings for our spring/summer garden club and share some gardening tips.

We're thrilled to announce that Wood Grange Care Home has officially launched our Enable digital system! With a whole home approach, we're embracing innovation to enhance the lives of our residents.

To mark this special occasion, our talented team member, Simona, crafted an exclusive Enable themed cake, perfectly embodying Barchester's core values of Respect, Integrity, Passion, Empowerment, and Responsibility.

Our incredible staff and residents gathered in reception for a celebration filled with joy and camaraderie. We were honoured to hear Amanda's newly written poem, "READY AND ENABLE," which captured the spirit of this momentous occasion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in commemorating this milestone. Together, we're creating a brighter future for our care home!

It was a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes from spending time together and connecting with nature. Now that the weather is starting to improve we will be making our gardening club a more regular thing so we can take advantage of our beautiful landscaped garden areas and of course - the sun!
