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
Dementia Café Opening
We invited loved ones and members of the local community to the opening of our Dementia Café, and Barchester's Dementia Care Specialist gave a talk on the subject, which everyone found really enlightening.
Gardening Fun
Residents and staff enjoyed planting some flowers in the sunshine to spruce up the courtyard garden.
Swap Shop Success
Visitors, residents and families enjoyed a variety of items on offer, which they were able to swap unwanted stuff for.
Boxing Practice
A former boxer came in to teach us how to land a right hook. Everyone had lots of fun!
Valentine's Day
Residents' wives and husbands were given the opportunity to book an intimate table for a Valentine’s Day lunch or supper. Activities staff decorated the tables and gifted a rose and chocolates to the happy couples.
Themed activities were organised for the day, such as chocolate making, singalongs and live entertainment. These stimulated some strong memories of past Valentine’s Days, as residents remembered days gone with their loved ones and shared memories with each other.
Residents and families were incredibly appreciative of the effort that went into making the day so special.
National Pizza Day
Residents and visitors got the chance to make their own pizzas for supper, with one remarking that she had done a similar activity with her grandchildren years earlier.
