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
VE Day Street Party
As you can see, we had some very special visitors join us for lunch and give a speech to mark the 72nd anniversary of VE Day. We also had a free raffle, with the results being drawn by Winston Churchill himself.
Easter Concert
The Easter concert was performed by the Oak Grange choir, which is made up of residents, staff, loved ones and friends. We invited professional musical director, Susan Ushitz, to help us perform a selection of hymns, show tunes, and favourite songs; it was a lovely way to celebrate Easter together.
Easter at Oak Grange
Our minister, Mark, delivered a lovely church service to us, and provided music to accompany our choir.
Chris & Joan provided an assortment of musical entertainment, which really made our hot cross bun afternoon on Good Friday.
The Easter Bunny stopped by on Easter Sunday with a delivery of delicious eggs for everyone to indulge in.
We also found time to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday with a coffee morning in the bistro, a quiz and a birthday cake.
A Night at the Theatre
We spent an evening at the Brindley Theatre in Runcorn and enjoyed An Evening with Pam Ayres. We had such a lovely time and laughed all night! One resident said that it was so nice to be out at the theatre surrounded by great people.
What have we been up to?
We've been keeping ourselves very busy lately.
Entertainer, Sandra Currie, kept us all entertained with some singing and dancing; we jumped at the chance to spend some time in the garden and enjoy the spring sunshine; and we spent some time at the local library to look for some books, then enjoyed a drink in the café.
Keeping Healthy
We recently focused our attention on nutrition and hydration; we peeled and prepared all different types of fruit to put through the juicer and ended up with some very delicious varieties.
