Activities at Denmead Grange Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we won’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our activities team is dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Being Head of life Enrichment isn’t just a job, it’s a passion.
My time with the residents has and will always be an honour and pleasure.
Finding out their interests and hobbies, so I can tailor the weekly planner is such a great thing to do, as this means lots of chats over a good cuppa! But it also means that I can get to know them personally and get to understand a part of their past, so I can continue to help them experience their interests in this next phase of their lives.
A truly rewarding role, where I can be part of and contribute to something meaningful. All I hope for, is to make this journey for both the residents and their families, as restful, easy and enjoyable as possible. Then I know I’ve done my part.

Life at Denmead Grange Care Home
Aloha!
Off we went to Hawaii for one of our many summer parties
We were joined by our lovely family and friends for a fabulous sunny get together. We danced the afternoon away listening to Keith who sang a variety of our favourite songs with a tropical twist
We enjoyed a selection of Coconut cocktails, fantastic Hawaiian themed food and finished with ice cream sundaes all made by our wonderful Head Chef & his team
This was a great event enjoyed by all, what a great way to spend our Friday afternoon.
Denmead Olympics
Never mind the Olympics in Paris!
We had the Olympics at Denmead Grange!
We had so much fun getting together, cheering each other on and throwing bean bags at the activities coordinator!
Everyone got a medal for participating
And the winners received a cup for them to treasure and be proud of!
Sandra’s 80th
Another day another birthday.
This beautiful young lady was 80 and her family used one of our lounges to throw her the party of the year!
Friends and family came to celebrate with her! All of her favourite songs were played while she was treated like the Queen.
“I can’t believe this is all for me” she said!
Dougie’s 90th
We believe every birthday is special and should be celebrated.
This wonderful young man was 90 today so obviously we had a shindig for him! We were joined by his lovely daughter and residents. He couldn’t believe he was 90, he thought he was 100!
We sang along to his favourite Dean Martin songs and had a wonderful time eating the delicious food prepared by our incredible kitchen team.
Painting and Prosecco
Prosecco and painting on the decking making the most of the beautiful sunshine.
Some painted the beautiful flowers borrowed from our reception while others free styled and did their own design. Each painting was unique and prompted wonderful conversations. The concentration along with the prosecco made it very interesting!
It was a wonderful afternoon of laughter and chats and has been requested for a repeat performance.
Our Wimbledon
We celebrated our very own Wimbledon.
We had a game of balloon tennis, which is always a big hit full of laughter as we try to keep the balloon off the floor.
In the afternoon thanks to Chef Craig we watched the tennis while enjoying strawberries and cream and a glass of pimms!
