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.

Life at Pittsmead Grange Care Home

Baking Club

Baking club this week was all about the cookie here at Pittsmead Grange.The residents personally decorated their cookies with white and milk chocolate. It is safe to say a high level of concentration went in to perfecting their piping techniques.We are now off to taste the finished product ... because that's the way the cookie crumbles!

Finding our inner artist

We have been using the power of the arts to inspire people living with dementia to get creative, connect, learn new skills and most importantly, have fun.Today, one of our much loved Senior Carers, Constantin, supported our residents living in our Memory Lane Community to create this beautiful piece using paints, pencils and flowers from the garden!

Italian Night

Benvenuti alla serata italiana di Pittsmead Grange!We’ve only gone and done it again - We pulled out all the stops this evening for an Italian Themed Resident & Family Soirée.Pre-dinner drinks consisted of Limoncello Spritzers, then an authentic menu of Zucchini Boats, Lemon & Ricotta Spaghetti, Pan Alfredo Pollo and handmade Quattro Formaggio Pizzas, finishing with a fabulous Tiramisu.Residents and guests enjoyed wonderful entertainment from Kate Bassett and the dance floor was alive. Several residents and guests said “The food, the atmosphere and the entertainment were top class, thank you so much to the team for making such a special evening for us”.

Gardening club prep for our sensory garden

We have recently started the preparation for our sensory garden and everyone is thoroughly enjoying the project.One of our residents said “I love it here, it’s so open and makes me feel at peace and relaxed”When gardening, there is the opportunity for connection. This could be by working together with others, or by sharing enjoyment and the things you grow. There is 'growing' evidence that access to the outdoors and nature can play an important role supporting someone living with dementia.

Time to refuel

Our doors are always open to welcome our local Royal Mail postman to have a refreshment break during his busy day. He is always a friendly face ensuring that our residents letters or packages reach them on time and in perfect condition.We like to welcome all professionals and delivery drivers to stop and refuel throughout their busy days serving our local community.
