Activities at Pittsmead Grange Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Pittsmead Grange Residents Enjoy Heart-warming Day Out at Christmas Tree Farm

Residents at Pittsmead Grange Care Home recently enjoyed a delightful day out visiting the charming Christmas Tree Farm. The trip, made possible by the home's reliable minibus service, gave everyone the chance to spend some quality time outdoors, surrounded by friendly animals and fresh countryside air.

Upon arrival at the farm, residents were welcomed by a host of furry and feathered friends. With big smiles all around, they had the chance to feed goats, sheep, and even a few chickens. Many of the residents commented on how much they enjoyed the experience, with one saying, “It brought back so many lovely memories from my childhood.”

After plenty of animal encounters, the group took a well-earned break at the farm’s café, where they enjoyed a warm coffee and a slice of cake. It was the perfect moment to relax, chat, and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of the day.

Activities Coordinator Jody Symonds said, “Trips like this are so valuable. They bring joy, spark conversations, and really lift spirits. We’re already planning our next adventure!” The outing was part of Pittsmead Grange's ongoing commitment to providing engaging and meaningful activities for its residents. Days like these highlight the importance of staying active, connected, and involved with the wider community.

The Dr.Who experience

We recently hosted an afternoon of all things Dr.Who in our cinema at Pittsmead Grange. We were lucky enough that this was presented to us by Egyptologist, Classicist and Cultural Historian John J. Johnston.John lectures throughout the UK at institutions such as BFI (British Film Institute), British Museum and the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.We followed the afternoon with a viewing of “City of Death", which is widely regarded by fans as a classic of the Tom Baker era of "Doctor Who" and the best script produced by the Williams / Adams production team.Thank you John, for taking time from your busy schedule, we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

The Autumnal Dream

It’s an all out Autumnal feast for the residents here at Pittsmead Grange. Here we have a lovely Butter Cake with a White Chocolate Ganache frosting, made once again by our superb cake baker, Wendy!Our residents and visitors knew this would be best washed down with a lovely hot drink from our café. The perfect way to spend an Autumn afternoon.

A trip for the gents

This trip was Gents only and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.At Pittsmead Grange the destination on our minibus trips is always the residents choice. When the warm sun made an appearance, what better thing to do than head for a real country pub experience. So, we decided to pay a visit to The George.The George is a local, premium pub and restaurant with its very own courtyard, centrally located in the heart of the picturesque town of Hayes. We had such a lovely time and can't wait to go back again.

Music for Health

We recently had a visit from the amazing Marina at 'Music for Health' here at Pittsmead Grange.Marina brings so much life to a session, with music, dancing, instruments and laughter. The residents had so much fun, the session really got them moving and we had smiles all round!we cant wait to see Marina again soon for moving and shaking.

A step back in time

Today, we took a step back in time as we visited The Drawing Room Of Locksbottom a beautiful, vintage café.We took our residents from our memory lane community and they thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgic experience. We absolutely love getting out and about, having our minibus is such a privilege.Everyone had such a wonderful morning and who doesn't enjoy a slice of cake?
