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.
Jo Eland
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
Indoor Sports Day
To celebrate Senior Health & Fitness Day, we hosted an Indoor Sports Day. Residents took part in hoopla, carpet darts, balloon batting, skittles and 'keepsie-uppies' on a tennis racket. It all got very competitive and, at the end, everyone was presented with a certificate for participating.
Music & Dance
There's always a party atmosphere when Richard Millington visits us with his keyboard, playing residents' favourite tunes. The ladies couldn't resist getting up for a dance and had a grand old time. Smiles and laughter were the orders of the day.
Zoolab Returns
A visit from Zoolab gave our ladies and gents a chance to learn about and get close to mini beasties, snakes and some mischievous rodents.
Royal Celebrations
We've had a busy few weeks with royal celebrations, which have included tea parties, musical entertainment, quizzes and arts and crafts to celebrate the Queen's birthday, Harry & Meghan's wedding, in addition to the anniversary of the Queen's coronation.
Dunham Park
We took advantage of the improved weather and had a trip out to the local park at Dunham Massey. We enjoyed a stroll around the gardens, saw the deer and then finished up with tea and cake in the cafe.
Pom-Pom Chicks
In celebration of spring arriving, we got bust making these delightful pom-pom chicks.
