Activities at Pittsmead Grange Care Home

Our Deputy Manager put her hot chocolate–making skills to the test today — and what a delicious afternoon it was!

We tried out two brand-new syrup flavours: Toasted Marshmallow and Mince Pie. The results? Lots of smiles, plenty of cosy cups, and a lot of festive flavour fun!

Everyone enjoyed choosing their favourite (or trying both!), and the warm, sweet aromas filled the home with pure comfort.

Here’s to many more tasty moments at Pittsmead Grange!        

Our lovely residents at Pittsmead Grange Care Home enjoyed a wonderful minibus trip to the Ruxley Manor Garden Centre for a spot of Christmas shopping!

There were twinkling lights, festive music, and plenty of holiday cheer as everyone picked out decorations, gifts, and a few sweet treats too.

It was a joyful day full of smiles, laughter, and precious moments shared together. Thank you to our amazing team for making outings like this possible, and to our residents for bringing the Christmas spirit wherever they go!   

Recently, we were delighted to host a wonderful afternoon networking event in partnership with Hayes (Kent) Village Association.

It was fantastic to see local residents, businesses, and association members come together for such a warm and engaging gathering. We were joined by many lovely, diverse businesses, including an Artist, Funeral Director,  Home Care provider, Dementia Day Centre, Law & Financial Advisers, A Building Company and members of the Hayes (Kent) Village Association.

A special thank-you to our talented chefs for preparing a truly fantastic spread that everyone enjoyed.  

Each day, our menu is themed around one of the Big Five countries in the competition – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK – bringing the tastes of Europe to our dining tables.

Today, for the grand finale, we’ve gone Swiss as they host this year’s contest! Residents enjoyed a delicious Zurich Port Ragout, a dish featured on the menu, and it was a big hit.

The home has been beautifully decorated all week, filling the air with Eurovision excitement and plenty of sparkle as we get ready to enjoy the final together!  

At Pittsmead Grange Care Home, we love making dreams come true — and this week was something truly special.

Our wonderful resident, Brian, has always wished to meet the real-life Chelsea Pensioners. So, with great joy, we made his wish a reality with a very special invitation-only tour of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.

Brian had the most incredible day in London, where he not only met the Chelsea Pensioners but saw this beautiful building in all its glory – including the stunning Dining Hall and Chapel. Our residents enjoyed unforgettable conversations, smiles, and memories that will stay with them forever.

Moments like these are why we do what we do.

Making wishes come true, one resident at a time.      

Today we celebrated a bittersweet moment as we said goodbye to our wonderful General Manager, John, on his last day at Pittsmead Grange. We marked the occasion with a lovely tea party shared with our residents – a perfect reflection of John's caring and thoughtful spirit.

During the celebration, John took a moment to announce our Employee of the Year – a huge congratulation to Stephen, our brilliant Kitchen Assistant, whose hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed!

John, as you head off on your new adventure to Scotland, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support, leadership, and kindness you’ve shown. Your guiding philosophy – “It’s the little things that matter” – will continue to inspire us every day and live on in everything we do here at Pittsmead Grange.

Wishing you all the very best in your new chapter – you will be greatly missed!
