Activities at Oak Grange Care Home
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!

Life at Oak Grange Care Home
Chester Zoo lanterns
Another group of our lovely residents enjoyed a very festive trip to Chester Zoo this evening. We enjoyed a walk along the lanterns trail, taking in all the beautiful displays. It was a little cold, but nothing a warm Hot Chocolate along the way couldn’t solve! What lovely memories we are making!
Creative wreaths
This afternoon, we enjoyed a wreath making Masterclass with Creative Mojo Ltd. Our residents had a great time getting very creative, we were all very pleased with the end result. Our wreath is being proudly displayed in our reception area for everyone to see!
The love of gingerbread!
Our residents had a lovely treat this afternoon at Oak Grange, curtesy of the lovely Alex from Vegetarian For Life.
Alex’s guided us through all things Gingerbread! Preparing us for baking and decorating our own gingerbread house.
Of course, we just had to have some of our own Gingerbread to taste whilst following along, including Gingerbread Spiced Hot Chocolate!
Deck the halls...
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Oak Grange care home, in Mollington have been decking the halls, getting out the tinsel and unravelling the fairy lights, ready for a whole host of Christmas celebrations.
Oak Grange’s residents and staff have been busy creating lots of home-made table decorations, garlands, wreaths to make the home as festive as can be. The residents have also been crafting home-made decorations for the Christmas tree which they all helped to decorate, the tree is looking truly magnificent covered in beautiful Christmas lights, bows, candy canes and sugar mice.
New friends!
Last week, we were joined virtually by The Donkey Sanctuary UK for a question and answer session and to see the Donkeys virtually in there environment.
The residents fell in love with the donkeys, so today we had a very special surprise for our residents. We had two visitors, Fiona and Shrek from Alwood donkeys.
The residents had the opportunity to see the donkeys up close and of course have a cuddle or two. What a fabulous way to spend our weekend!
Thank you gifts
Our residents have been very busy this morning here at Oak Grange. Our residents have been putting together packages to thank our very hard working delivery drivers, postal worker and emergency services.
With many of our delivery drivers, postal worker and emergency service workers working longer hours over the festive period, this is our small token of appreciation. The packages were filled by our residents full of sweet treats and a selection of drinks to keep hydrated.
