Activities at Cheshire Grange Care Home
The activities team are constantly striving to meet the varied needs of everyone who lives in our home, offering a wide range of group and individual social events. There are regular visits from entertainers, along with craft activities, baking, games & puzzle days and pampering sessions, which fill the week. However, we can always find time for outings and just spending that little bit of special time with residents who enjoy the peace and quiet. We aim to bring the activities to the individual, whilst making it a whole home experience.

Life at Cheshire Grange Care Home
Thank you to The Brownies
It was such a lovely surprise to receive a gift from 6th Lymm Brownies, a beautiful tallow winter pansy to plant to bring some joy to our residents.
Community links are very important our residents, helping to make them feel connected to the local village where they live and also thee connections are a fantastic way of prompting some wonderful reminiscence sessions, many of our residents were members of community group in their own villages and have some very interesting experience to share.
Embracing the Changing Seasons
There is something as Summer melts into Autumn that makes people more reflective, it’s a time for Harvest, giving thanks and thinking about others and the beautiful colours of the season lift our spirits as we prepare for the winter. Residents have taken part in autumn themed arts and crafts, read autumn poetry, sung harvest hymns, enjoyed an autumn feat prepared by the hospitality team and talked about what the season means to them.
