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.

'Latte' fun for Residents

Staff and Residents at South Grange held a charity coffee morning on 25th September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

South Grange’s coffee morning was a big success –everyone had a lot of fun doing it! Vicky, the homes assistant chef helped proceedings by dressing the trolley with balloons and bunting before serving the delicious treats for everyone to enjoy with a cup of tea.

The British charity provides financial aid, specialist healthcare services, and all different kinds of support to those living with cancer.

The money raised will help Macmillan make sure no one has to face cancer alone.

International Dog Day

South Grange celebrated International Dog Day with a day of dog-themed activities from quizzes, word searches and dog breeds.

Residents were introduced to Marvin’s adventures, a lovely dachshund who has been introduced to the home through the community and hopefully will become a future therapy pet.

The staff shared photos of their dogs and some residents were happy to bring along photos of their own dogs to create a display for all to see. Afternoon dog bingo was thoroughly enjoyed by the residents before everyone sat back to enjoy afternoon tea served with mouth-watering Scottie shortbread biscuits as they discussed the various breeds of dogs.
