Activities at South Grange Care Home
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.

Life at South Grange Care Home
An afternoon with Mike Lees
Residents and staff at South Grange were treated to a live concert from our local singer Mike Lees. Everyone joined in singing, dancing and clapping along to the music.
Mike was requested to sing a range of resident’s favourite songs which was enjoyed by all.
Thank you Mike for a great afternoon.
National coffee day – 1st October
We had a lovely afternoon finding out about the history of coffee and in particular an Irish coffee.
On offer we had a traditional hot Irish coffee or a cooling Irish coffeetini. Everyone agreed they were both good but the majority preferred a hot Irish coffee.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
In support of Macmillan’s Coffee Morning, we hosted our very own coffee morning and tombola afternoon for friends, families and community members to raise funds for the charity.
Our home was specially decorated for the occasion, our talented chef prepared a variety of cakes, cupcakes and delicious treats following Macmillan Cancer Support’s recipes and we all got involved in a fun-filled quiz and prize tombola.
We all had a wonderful day raising £160!
Lattee fun as home host Macmillan Coffee Morning
Staff and residents at South Grange in Monifieth held a charity coffee morning and tombola sale on 29th of September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Having a coffee morning and tombola afternoon is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
Steeple Church Choir visit South Grange
Our local church choir from the Steeple Church in Dundee visited South Grange. They spent the morning singing hymns and conducted a lovely church service.
Two of our residents (man and wife) are part of the Steeple choir and they loved singing alongside them like old times!
Weekly Pamper Session
Our ladies look forward to having the morning being pampered in our salon every week. They relax with their own choice of music whilst having hand massages, nails painted or their hair styled! All whilst enjoying a cuppa and cake!
