World Kindness Day

Residents and staff at South Grange had a lovely day celebrating World Kindness day. They had an idea to bring everyone together by knitting a scarf to go round the home and in doing so wrapping it in kindness.

Everyone got on board and the knitting began, which even reached out to sister home, Fordmill who help with the mission to complete, their help was very much appreciated.

South Grange is a multi-cultural home and we took into consideration for World Kindness in different languages and what it meant, residents and staff found this very interesting.

Residents continue to stay connected

Residents are overjoyed at South Grange care home in Monifieth as Barchester Healthcare has implemented a designated visiting room for residents to continue to spend time with their loved ones for the autumn and winter seasons in addition to the outdoor visiting that has been on offer for those able for many months.

Balancing resident wellbeing and safety is at the forefront of Barchester Healthcare’s thinking and they understand how important it is for residents and their family and friends to be able to spend time together in the safest way possible.

There has been much careful planning and preparation for this moment by Barchester Healthcare, who run South Grange care home. It was welcome news for their residents and family and friends as we enter the colder season meaning catch-ups can continue to take place, instead of, or in addition to, outdoor visiting already offered for those able.
