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.

Witney Scarecrow Trail Entry
Our residents and staff are so excited to have entered the Hailey Village Scarecrow Trial and Competition. This week we have been planning and designing our ‘Hero’.
The theme is too choose a Year from the Queen’s reign between 1952 - 2022 and highlight a significant event. After much deliberation between the residents a year has been selected and they have been merrily ‘stuffing’ this year’s significant figure in history with fresh straw all day!
Can you guess who it might be?
Our finished scarecrow hero will be just one of the 31 scarecrows dotted around the village of Hailey near Witney, Oxfordshire.
The Middletown Grange entry will be on display within the home’s garden, visible from the pathway from Saturday 28th May until 12th June. Please drop by and take a look, our scarecrow number on the trail is 19.
We’ll post a full image of ‘her’ location once the trial begins, we can’t wait to be part of the trial; when Hailey will be ‘alive’ with scarecrows, it’s going to be a wonderful sight for all to see over the Jubilee celebrations.
Winning entries will be released at 12 noon on Saturday 12th June on the #haileyfestival and #HaileyVillageOxfordshire Facebook pages.
Good Luck everyone. #WitneyCommunity #BarchesterTogether #lifeenrichment
Queen's Jubilee Preparations

Residents were delighted to see the Queen and her Guards are joining us too. This has been promoting lots of conversations throughout the day.

We all had great fun at our weekly seated exercise sessions with Activities Coordinator; Mandie. Our residents sang and shock along to all the old time classics as they exercised their way into the day!
