Activities at Middletown Grange Care Home
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.

Life at Middletown Grange Care Home
A trip to Millet's Farm
We had a lovely trip out this week to Millets Farm to see the animals. We packed up a delicious picnic helped by our chef and headed out for the day taking in the sites of some lovely farm animals, along with feeding them and enjoying the beautiful countryside. We even treated ourselves to an ice cream before heading back to tell everyone about our day.
Ball Exercise Class with Alfie
Exercise and mind stimulation is important for all of us. That's why we love to have Alfie come down with his ball class for us at Middletown Grange. Whether it be throwing, kicking or catching it helps us keep fit, but more importantly keeps us moving even on days when we dont quite feel up to it! Thanks Alfie and see you
again soon.
Ice Cream Sundae Competition
Did you know it was National Ice Cream day this week?? Well we did.....and to the mark the occasion we had a ice cream sundae competition with staff and residents creating there own recipes and treats! They were delicious and perfect timing with the warm weather!!

Wow what an amazing morning we've had here at Middletown Grange. Thank you so much to the team from Age UK Oxfordshire and the support shown to our residents and visitors in avoiding scams and keeping safe. It was very informative and helpful.

A great morning by all and even better that the weather was kind for us at our kind cafe!!
New balls please.......
Who doesn't love Pimm's and Strawberries whilst watching the Wimbledon Finals! We indulged in some fresh strawberries and cream to celebrate the finals. Shame we couldn't celebrate the football the same way!
Enjoying the Weather
Making the most of the sunshine and heading to the garden centre. With the weather so lovely we wanted to get out and about but keep well shaded so the garden centre was the perfect place for a spot of lunch and taking in the beautiful flowers. We even brought some back and will be getting them out and about the home ready for the weekend!
