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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Pittsmead Grange Care Home
Only the best for our residents
Andrew, our Head Chef and Wendy, our Second Chef here at Pittsmead Grange have done nothing but impress the residents, guests and staff with their fabulous skills in the kitchen.
This week, Andrew made a Banana Flan with Whipped Cream as one of his deserts and it was such a hit. The residents enjoyed every bite of it and quite honestly, cant wait for Banana Flan Desert Day to come again. Our Chefs here focus on the quality of the food to ensure the highest standards for all residents here at Pittsmead Grange.
John's birthday celebrations
Yesterday, here at Pittsmead Grange we celebrated John's Birthday.
John is our General Manager and he is always working hard for the home. We felt he deserved a special celebration, so the staff and residents came together to sing for him and our wonderful second chef, Wendy, baked an amazing Lemon Drizzle cake!
The residents and the team loved sharing his special day with him!
Knit and Natter
If we are honest, this morning's Knit and Natter here at Pittsmead Grange became just a natter!
Once everyone came together, we couldn't stop the endless flow of stories and laughter, so why stop?!
As we know, socialising with others can do wonders for stimulation and mood, this morning was evidence of that. We encourage our residents here at Pittsmead Grange to spend time together but they always have the choice.
Cupcake Decorating
At Pittsmead Grange, we have been enjoying some cupcake decorating, immediately followed by cupcake eating!
There were smiles all round which wasn't surprising seeing as we were all on a sugar high!
Debbie, our activities coordinator spent the morning with the residents giving them decorating tips and teaching them some of her special skills.
A pamper session in the salon!
Here at Pittsmead Grange, our hair salon also boasts of a lovely nail bar. Sara took full advantage of this yesterday, making the most of the time to relax whilst Amy did her nails.
Fresh nails and some peace and quiet, who wouldn't enjoy this?!
