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!

Halloween
We celebrated Halloween with music, dancing, special treats, cards, games and reminiscence sessions.

All residents were happy and thoroughly enjoyed all the activities with a big smile, and we got to share some nice spooky stories.

Harvest Festival craft
Oak Grange Care Home, has been celebrating the Harvest Festival by taking part in autumn crafts and enjoying traditional harvest dishes. Residents worked together to make salt dough harvest plaits and arranging autumnal displays throughout the home which really helped everyone get into the spirit of the festival.
Gardening Club
At this time of year our "gardening club" takes on a new meaning, by looking to the future positively. We prepared the pots for soil and planted bulbs for Spring. We will all look forward to a colourful display of pretty blooms after the coming Winter.
Much fun was had by residents who engaged in flower arranging creating beautiful displays for the home using pumpkins as vases!
