Activities at Lancaster Grange Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Lancaster Grange Care Home
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
We hosted a coffee morning, which included lots of stalls and, in the afternoon, entertainment was provided by a top class magician.
Pumpkin Picking
Residents had a great time picking pumpkins at Maxeys Farm Shop, ready to bring back to Lancaster Grange to prepare for Halloween.
Ukulele Band
A local ukulele band visited Lancaster Grange; everyone had a fantastic time and really enjoyed singing along.
Knit & Natter
Residents enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in a café during our 'knit & natter' session.
Day Trip to Cleethorpes
Some residents, joined by their loved ones, enjoyed a trip out in the home’s minibus to the seaside. Everyone had a great time enjoying a fish & chip lunch, followed by a stroll down the beach. Some even managed to sneak in a quick game of bingo and a paddle in the sea.
Beach Party
We had a fantastic day when we held our beach party at Lancaster Grange. Residents enjoyed beach games and built sand castles. We also had entertainment in the afternoon, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
