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
Having a Hoot!
Pam from Arley Hall came to visit everyone with her two Owls: Spike the barn owl and Grindle the little owl. Residents were amazed and thrilled to see and hold them.
St David's Day
We had lots of fun celebrating St David's Day here at Oak Grange with flower arranging, lots of Welsh cakes and themed quiz. We even had a dragon to keep us company. A feast for your senses!
Intergenerational Fun
We have started a new project with our local primary school. A group of children are coming in weekly to spent time with residents. They have been getting to know each other and working on projects together. Our first afternoon together was all about things from the past.
The children were intrigued with the darning mushroom, knitting needles, old sewing machines, whisks, trowels and spanners, and residents were able to share all their knowledge about them.
Valentine's Day
Husbands at Oak Grange were abe to surprise their lovely wives on Valentine's Day with some roses and cards. We also had some delicious themed cupcakes for every to enjoy.
Chinese New Year
We hosted a themed coffee morning with a special gold coin in red envelopes for good luck. It was lots of fun!
