What a Hee-Haw
Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program and features regularly on our resident-led weekly activity planner.
The Residents at Alice Grange enjoyed a visit from the Mini Donkeys and this even included individual room visits so all our Residents could enjoy.
Residents at Alice Grange love the animal therapy sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organises every month. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
A Diamond Anniversary
Celebrating special events are a cornerstone of the life enrichment at Alice Grange Care Home. Ensuring that family and friends are involved ensures that every celebration creates special memories.
Our resident Gill and her husband Richard celebrated their 60th Diamond wedding anniversary and even recieved a card from the King. They spent this special day with family and held an early celebration at the home to kick off the celebrations in style.
At Alice Grange that's what we like to do - create memories, and ensure our residents are leading full enriched lives.
Fitness Friday at Bayleaf
This Is Your Life – Eve Taylor
Fresh air, beautiful views and lovely moments together!
It may have been a little fresh outside, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying a lovely walk around the nearby lakes.
There’s something special about getting out and about, enjoying the fresh air, taking in the beautiful surroundings and sharing a little time together.
Sometimes, a simple walk in nature is all you need!
Clare’s 10 Years at Derham House
Derham House would like to say huge congratulations to our wonderful kitchen assistant, Clare Gregory, who has just celebrated an amazing 10 years of service with us! Clare is such a valued member of our team, helping keep our kitchen running smoothly and making sure our residents are well looked after. Thank you, Clare, for all your hard work, dedication and the care you put into everything you do. Here's to many more years!
Alpaca time!
We love finding creative ways to ensure all of our residents can participate in our activities.
Everyone loved our latest alpaca guests, who have learned to use the Ritson Lodge elevator so they can travel floor-to-floor and make a personal stop to see absolutely everyone!
Therapy dog visit
Koko and her owner, Clare, came to visit today. Koko is a therapy dog. Our residents were thrilled to see her and give her lots of cuddles and strokes.
Animals have an amazing ability to calm people and Koko certainly lifted everybody’s spirits this morning. We can’t wait to see her again soon.
