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.

After originally starting at Cheshire Grange in May 2015, I'm delighted to be back in the role of Activities Coordinator. It is a privilege to be in this role and spend time, getting to know our ladies and gentleman and their loved one, whilst doing all the fun things that can make such a difference to their days.

Life at Cheshire Grange Care Home
Living La Dolce Vita
We had a day of all things Italian, inspired by Venetian masquerade balls. Residents made colourful Venetian-style masks and decorated bottles with decoupage and lace to be used as table centres for the Italian-themed meals.
Whilst enjoying the afternoon sun, we learnt some simple Italian phrases and listened to a variety of music, including Dean Martin, Pavarotti, Verdi and Andrea Bocelli, to mention just a few.
Fruit & Fizz
Residents were delighted to share a 'Fruit and Fizz' afternoon with friends and visitors. Chilled Prosecco with a selection of soft fruits were on offer, including strawberries, melons, kiwi fruit and pears, which made for a pleasant change and got the conversation flowing, mainly about the quality of out of season strawberries!
St Patrick's Day Entertainment
Irish eyes were smiling and so were those of the ladies & gents at Cheshire Grange when Deborah from Musical Delights came to entertain us with an Irish-themed repertoire. There was much singing, clapping, foot stomping and some impromptu dancing too, as the audience got into the spirit of the occasion.
St Patrick's Day Creations
Memory Lane residents enjoyed an afternoon preparing for our St Patrick's Day celebrations by creating some themed artwork.
Pancake Day
The aroma of pancakes filled the corridors as they were cooked to order. Residents on our Memory Lane community were treated to freshly cooked pancakes for breakfast and, later that day, a pancake afternoon tea was served in the ground floor lounge. This was an enjoyable social occasion for residents and their visitors.
World Book Day
This year, we chose books that have been made into Disney Films as our theme for World Book Day.
Residents helped to make bunting to decorate the lounges and reception and, on the day, all communities enjoyed afternoon tea with stories, quizzes, games and music that were all connected to our theme. The Mad Hatter was on hand all day to bring a smile to everyone's faces.
