Activities at Appletree Grange Care Home
Our Activities Coordinator is constantly arranging new activities to stimulate and catch the imagination of our residents. From visiting entertainers to a regular craft table to outings on the minibus, there is always something for our residents to keep them entertained. Our Activities Coordinator also takes the time to sit with each resident and go through a life history so they get to know what the likes and dislikes of each individual are and can tailor the activities to suit them. A monthly residents meeting is held to get the views of the residents and to get suggestions from them and their families about what they would like to do and everything that can be done to accommodate their requests is done.

Life at Appletree Grange Care Home
Pyjama Day
Staff held a pyjama day to raise money for the residents fund. Residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves and found it all great fun. General Manager, Liz Brown, said: "The residents have asked me when the next pyjama day will be as they would like to join in."

Employee of the Month - February
We are pleased to announce the winner of our Employee of the Month for February is our Carer, Sam Horton. Sam has been instrumental in helping to cover shifts within the home this month. We have had a particularly difficult month with vacant shifts on both care and in the kitchen and Sam has covered most of these shifts without hesitation. She has kept her smile the whole way through and really has gone above and beyond for the company this month. From all the staff, residents and families we say a huge well done and a truly well deserved recognition for Sam!
