Activities at Alice Grange Care Home

We were delighted to have The Mayor of Ipswich Borough Council, Councillor Elango Elavalaka join us at our Pudding Club today.In addition to sampling puddings, he spoke to staff and residents about his role as Mayor and many of our residents asked questions about his chain of office and the symbols within it.Resident Ambassador Margaret showed the Mayor around the home that she has been a proud resident of Alice Grange for the past 6 years.Michael who resides on memory lane was delighted to play the piano and played a beautiful version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Therapy dogs nationwide is a national charity where visiting volunteers take their dogs into establishments to provide comfort,distraction and stimulation.We are lucky enough for our own volunteers Jools and Mike who are also volunteers of Therapy dogs nationwide and each week we are delighted when they visit with their therapy dog Bailey.Bailey brings so much joy to residents and staff alike

Who doesn't like a bit of retail therapy?We headed to Asda in Ipswich this week, and really enjoyed shopping and getting into the Christmas Spirit. With only five weeks until Christmas day, what better way to spend the morning than shopping and 'stocking' up on some Christmas gifts for family and friends.Carol even found a Christmas gnome that had a striking resemblance to her.

Happy HalloweenThere were no tricks but plenty of treats as we celebrated Halloween, inviting children from the community, friends and family of Alice Grange to come along and join in on the fun, and what a fun day we had.Thanks to Bruce Aldred Entertainment for entertaining us, Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did.

We headed out to Woodbridge Pumpkin Patch and what fun we had choosing pumpkins and enjoying hot drinks in the fresh air.The residents that we took enjoyed watching the youngsters having fun running around with their wheelbarrows gathering their pumpkins before celebrating Halloween tomorrow.
