Activities at Middletown 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. We aim to provide a variety of activities that will both mentally and physically stimulate the people we support. Residents have a range of different needs and interests, and it is crucial that these are reflected in the activities available, so that each individual is able to participate to the best of their ability. We organise both group and individual social events that everyone is welcome to take part in; there is a weekly outing to local places of interest, including the garden centre and the local farms, parks and museums. In addition, we enjoy regular visits from entertainers and even exotic animals. We also host events such as 'Beach Day' that relatives and friends are encouraged to participate in. Getting involved in charities is a big part of our ethos, so events such as 'PJs for Pudsey' and pirate-themed days are regularly hosted to raise money for different foundations, including the Alzheimer’s Society.
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

Egg-cellent Easter Tea Party at Middletown
Middletown Grange radiated festive cheer as residents, families, and local children came together for a delightful Easter Afternoon Tea Party. Our talented chef crafted a gorgeous spread featuring exquisite cakes, delicate finger sandwiches, and a generous selection of tea, coffee, and a splash of prosecco.
To everyone's delight, the Easter Bunny made a surprise appearance, bringing giant Easter eggs for all our residents and spreading joy throughout our home. A few local children and their parents also joined in the fun, enjoying chocolate eggs, marshmallows and the warm community spirit.
Music is in the air, joy is everywhere!
Residents at Middletown Grange had a wonderful day as the garden blossomed with music, laughter, and the delightful scent of flowers in bloom.
With the sun shining bright and everyone in high spirits, we all came together under the beautiful pink-flowered tree to savour some lovely saxophone melodies from our entertainer, The Saxophone Man, while enjoying some scrumptious, freshly baked cake. His smooth tunes had us tapping our toes and dancing with joy!
Getting up and close with nature!
We recently had a wonderfully wild afternoon at Middletown Grange with a special visit from Zoolab! Residents and staff had a chance to meet, hold and learn about a fascinating range of animals, including a giant African snail, gerbils, a corn snake, millipede and more.
The hands on experience sparked curiosity, conversation and lots of smiles. It was a fun and educational afternoon that brought nature right to our lounge – an unforgettable treat for everyone involved!
Indulgent Pamper Time
Residents at Middletown Grange recently enjoyed a relaxing pamper session, complete with foot spas, soothing hand and head massage, manicures, facials, and even a touch of makeup.
These sessions are more than just a treat – they support wellbeing, boost confidence, and offer a lovely chance to unwind and connect. At Middletown we believe everyone deserves to feel refreshed, relaxed and cared for.
St George's Day!
At Middletown Grange, we marked St George’s Day with a deliciously fun activity – cake decorating! Residents gathered together to design and decorate a cake in honour of the day, sharing laughs, stories, and plenty of icing along the way.
Hobbies like baking and decorating bring so much more than a tasty treat; they offer a sense of purpose, stimulate the mind and spark conversation. Keeping up with hobbies later in life helps support emotional wellbeing, motor skills and social connection. Whether its cake decorating or crafting, we love encouraging our residents to stay engaged with the things they enjoy – and to try new ones, too. St George’s Day was a reminder that tradition, creativity and community are the perfect recipe for a great afternoon.
