Our residents and staff enjoyed a lovely day out to Blair Drummond Safari Park. We had a picnic lunch and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals. We are looking forward to returning in September!
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Gillian Conway
Gill has worked for South Grange since 1996. Gill's role in the home is ensuring our residents enjoy a fulfilling quality of life. The programme that Gill and her team (Sheena, Vicky and Karon) provide is stimulating, creative and varied. Gill enjoys the time she spends with residents and families. The team welcomes any suggestions made by residents and family members in relation to activities.
Activities at South Grange
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Air Museum Montrose
We had a trip with residents to the Air Museum in Montrose recently, where they were able to see old aircraft and dress up in the old air force memorabilia. A great day was had by all!

Therapy Ponies
On 6th February 2018, we were joined by some therapy Shetland ponies from West Lothian. The visit was a great success and residents, staff and visitors thoroughly enjoyed making a fuss of our guests. The ponies were taken into lounges and bedrooms for all to see.
