Activities at Oak 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.

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Hi, my name is Nicola and I am the Lead Activities coordinator here at Oak Grange, the wellbeing and happiness of each resident are at the forefront of everything we do, and I am committed to upholding these values as your activities coordinator.

With five years of leadership experience and a passion for supporting others, I am thrilled to be part of this team. My creative background allows me to develop innovative and engaging activities that enrich the lives of residents. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and stimulating environment where everyone feels valued and connected.

Together, we will embark on a journey of discovery, enjoyment and companionship. From engaging social events and group outings to stimulating cognitive exercises and creative pursuits, our goal is to ensure that there is always something for everyone to look forward to.

Furthermore, I am here not only as an Activities coordinator but also as a friend and confidant, I encourage open communication, suggestions, and feedback from each resident and their families.

Life at Oak Grange Care Home

Pizza Masterclass

The residents like to bake, and we try lots of different recipes that the residents used to cook at home. 

This month we have been baking pizzas with a choice of toppings. 

From cheese and tomato to tuna and sweetcorn. The smell of freshly cooked pizza had all our mouths watering. 

Scrabble Club

The residents like to play scrabble with one another. 

It is important to keep the games that they would play at home going now that Oak Grange is their new home. 

We like to spend an afternoon playing and seeing who can come up with the best word.

Gardening Club

Although it's not the time of year for the residents to be planting outside, we thought we would bring the garden inside by planting some indoor flowers. 

The residents enjoyed feeling the different textures of flowers and compost, which brought a sense of nature indoors.

We look forward to continuing our indoor gardening adventures and can't wait to see our plants thrive and bloom!

Christmas Outing!

The residents have enjoyed a trip to their local Chester Market for a look around the festive stalls.

They had a hot chocolate and, of course, a mince pie to warm ourselves up. 

A good time was had by all.

Christmas Choir

We had a wonderful afternoon listening to Mark Flinn and his fellow choir members sing Christmas carols around the home. 

The residents all joined in, which definitely got everyone in the Christmas spirit.

Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment!

Creative Mojo

A creative morning with Creative Mojo Ltd.

The residents enjoyed a Christmas-inspired art class this morning with Jane from Creative Mojo Ltd.

Their paintings were transformed into a beautiful Christmas wreath, which we have proudly hung in our reception area for everyone to enjoy.
