Activities at Leeming Bar Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Kimberley Calvert
Hi my name is Kimberley, Senior Activities Coordinator, and here at Leeming Bar our life enrichment programme is varied, providing choice for our residents and incorporating their interests and hobbies. We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within Leeming Bar, and we work together to give residents the best possible experience.
We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centred program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents, and their families and friends.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Leeming Bar Grange Care Home
Christmas Fete brings local community together
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Leeming Bar Grange to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Fete. There were all kinds of stalls on offer manned by volunteers, friends and family and lots of local stall holders came along to sell their wares too. There were delicious cakes and jams, lovely craft items, fabulous knitwear, the list goes on! The team at Leeming Bar Grange would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home
Armistice Day with RAF
On Armistice Day we were very kindly visited by the incredible folk from RAF Leeming an afternoon of tea, cake, and Remembrance.
Residents were thrilled to be able to share memories of their own days serving in the military, and of brave loved ones, whilst also sharing gratitude with the younger generation of current serving personnel.
The Yorkshire Decibelles
Today we were treated to an extra special Tuesday Togetherness get-together, with a spellbinding performance from The Yorkshire Decibelles!
The choir passionately serenaded us with beautiful melodies of old classics, along with our first taste of festivities with Christmas Carols!
Christmas-inspired table decorating
Today residents were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.
Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, who specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers. She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.
Residents keenly took note of these wonderful table decorations, which we will be creating closer to Christmas to adorn our dining tables for our special Christmas lunch.
Walk through a landscape
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
Residents truly enjoyed the sensory walk through one of the museum’s most famous landscape paintings.
Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!
Sole Mates
Today we came together for our 'Sole Mates' Community Walking Group! And what a perfect day it was to take a stroll into the village!
