Activities at Bedewell Grange Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Donna Brooks
My Name is Donna. I am the activities co-ordinator at Bedewell Grange care home Hebburn. I joined Bedewell Grange in April 2022 and I bring lots of new exciting ideas to the role, having worked in the health and social care sector for the last 15 years. I am passionate about my role within the home and aim to bring a smile to all our residents faces through different types of activities. My personality is bright and bubbly so aim to share this each day at work. I have experience in supporting our residents who are more able as well as doing sensory Namaste sessions with our residents who are less able. As I gather the residents likes and dislikes if you would like to come and chat with me about your family member please contact the home to arrange.

Employee of the Month - May
Congratulations to Senior Care, Cheryl Duffy, who was named Bedewell Grange's Employee of the Month for May.
National Volunteer Week
As its ‘National Volunteer Week’, the mums and children from Family Gateway joined us to help residents in the garden. They aided residents with potting & planting flowers and have also spent the week making decorations to hang in and around the garden and trees.
Bedewell Helps
Angie from ‘Hebburn Helps’ called into the home to collect donations from residents’ families and staff over the past couple of weeks. She identified a need for sanitary ware and toiletries for ladies in the community, which were greatly received. After chatting with Angie, she’s asked if we could continue our support with donations of pet food.
