Activities at Wood Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Wood Grange Care Home
Grandad Elf visits Wood Grange
The residents were so pleased to see grandad elf make an appearance at wood grange. He spread Christmas spirit with his helper 'tagalong' (his dog).
He played his ukulele so the residents could sing carols, performed magic tricks and checked they were all on the nice list, including Katya (general manager)! Grandad elf left the residents with a signed photograph to remember him by until next year.
Edenham School Visit
A group of wonderful primary school students put on a show for the residents as they performed some Christmas carols.
Once they had finished they split into groups and interacted with the residents playing games and puzzles. The residents were overcome with Joy as they spent time with the children.
Christmas Cracker Workshop
The residents were joined by Tina from a local flower arranging group in Bourne where Mary, a resident, used to be a member. It was wonderful for Mary and her friends at Wood Grange to undertake a fabulous festive activity arranging flowers for their tables on Christmas day.
A Christmas Carol
Across our homes we’ve had the most wonderful time celebrating the festive season with a special screening of 2020’s OLD VIC: IN CAMERA – A Christmas Carol.
This beautifully staged production brought the magic of Dickens’ classic tale right into our homes. A huge thank you to The Old Vic theatre for sharing this incredible performance with us. It was a truly wonderful experience.
Christmas Fair brings community together
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Wood Grange to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Market.
There were all kinds of stalls on offer manned by volunteers, friends and family and lots of local stall holders came along to sell their wares too. There were delicious festive treats, lovely craft items, fabulous handmade items, and collectables, the list goes on!
Bingo Bonanza
Bingo in our Baston Community has become the most popular club at Wood Grange, which is held every Friday afternoon and is a popular group activity.
This month presented our largest group of Bingo players since the start of the club earlier this year, the residents really enjoy getting their head down waiting to be the lucky winner and shout BINGO!
