Activities at Newton House Care Home

A group of Grantham care home residents visited a snooker and pool club.

Residents from Newton House Care Home on Barrowby Road, were treated with a bus trip for our weekly ‘Gentleman’s Club’, visiting the Musson & Gap inn for a nice cold pint and a good old game of dominoes. The gents really enjoyed each others company & finished the game with a draw!

They were given a warm welcome and had “a wonderful time”, enjoying a selection of fine ales, good company and plenty of hearty laughter. 

We were delighted to warmly welcome the Grantham 7th Cub Scouts at Newton House.

Residents and the children enjoyed playing various games including dominoes, connect 4 and board games.

The room was filled with lots of hearty laughter & conversation which put many smiles on everyone’s faces, and we are looking forward to welcoming the Grantham Cub Scouts into our home again soon.

The Maple Leaf Lodge and Newton House Care Homes, came together and joined the local healthcare community at the inaugural Grantham Care Fair, held at the Grantham Guildhall Arts Centre. 

The event brought together local businesses and health care professionals including hosts Farrow and Friends, NHS Lincolnshire, The Lincolnshire Nutritionist, Lincs Wellbeing, Age UK, Belvoir Home Care, Right at Home, Kings Court Care Home and Grantham College amongst others to highlight and promote the importance of health and well-being in the community and to highlight support for those in need. 

One participant said “it is wonderful to see the variety of different organisations come together in unison, showing their support not only for one another but for those who are the most vulnerable in our communities, it’s heart-warming to know there is so much support in Grantham and the county at large.”

Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems.

The Grantham Foodbank is proud to serve the local community and support those in need.

Residents and Colleagues at Newton House were delighted to welcome the returning and new year of children from the Sweet Angels Childcare Service to enjoy music, games and activities with residents at the home.
