Activities at Sutton Grange Care Home
Here at Sutton Grange we work really hard at providing a range of activities to suit our residents needs. We understand that everyone is different and we enjoy supporting our residents in whatever activities they would like to take part in. With a dedicated Activities co-ordinator and a friendly team of volunteers we are always busy with activities. We have several clubs including; gardening, film, craft, music, puzzles, and singing. We enjoy live music and entertainment, both in and outside of the home, and have regular outings on the minibus to local places of interest. Residents take part in animal assisted therapy, afternoon tea, arts and crafts classes, and visits from local community groups and school children. We believe it is important to provide stimulating, meaningful and relevant activities for our residents in order to make friends, and build a warm community to live.
Alison Wareing
Hi, I'm Alison. I am the Activities Co-ordinator here at Sutton Grange, I joined the team in 2016.
I grew up in the local area and started my career working with animals. After I had my daughter, and before I joined Barchester, I trained as a teacher and taught lipreading and communication. The skills I learnt have been invaluable in my role today.
Now, I fill my days spending time with our wonderful Residents, helping them to live their lives to the fullest. I try to make a difference in someone’s life each day.

Life at Sutton Grange Care Home
Music from the Heart
Racheal Rose entertained us with her singing and dancing recently. She put on quite a performance for residents, and we can't wait to have her back.
Pizza Making
Residents have been making their own pizzas with lovely fresh ingredients!
Parachute Playtime
Parachute exercise and games are always fun and everyone with any ability can join in!
More Pebble Art
Residents have joined the nation craze of pebble painting. Residents paint the pebbles, then they are sent into the community. People find them and post them on a local Facebook page. We are seeing how far our pebbles can travel.

We are so lucky to have lots of lovely places we can visit thar are so close to the home. Most recently, we went to Longton Brick Croft. The Croft has a wheelchair-friendly pathway, woodlands and great wildlife.
