Activities | Harton Grange Care Home

Activities at our 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 don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are 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.

Life at our home

Care homes and elderly care from Barchester Healthcare

Beamish Living Museum

Residents enjoyed a “step back in time” to the 1940s Orchard at the Beamish Living Museum. We tasted homemade bread that was baked on an open fire, played games from the past and sang Christmas songs around the piano.

Christmas Creations

Residents enjoyed an afternoon making Christmas calenders to give as gifts to their families. There were lots of Santa & reindeer stickers, which made their creations looks very festive.

Meeting the Reindeer

Residents enjoyed a day out at a local garden centre to see the Christmas mas lights and decorations, and we met the most beautiful reindeer.

2018 Barchester Care Awards

We are delighted to announce that we have been named as a National Winner in the Community Engagement category at the 2018 Barchester Care Awards.

This award recognises the contribution made by an individual or a team to establish their home as a part of their local community.

Well done to everyone who has made this possible!

Remembrance Sunday

Over the last few weeks, residents, families, friends and staff have been hand-knitting, crocheting, making and adding poppies to our memory tree here at Harton Grange. We have been selling poppies as well, and the money raised will be going to the Royal British Legion.

We gathered together and laid our wreath outside the home and everyone shared memories of their loved ones; it was a very emotional and special day for residents.

Well done, Joy!

Congratulations to Joy Whitlock, who has been nominated for a 'Catering Manager of the Year' award by the National Association of Care Catering.
