Activities at Wood Grange Care Home
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
Letter from Kensington Palace
We gathered together to open a letter from Kensington Palace recently. Amanda Clare, Senior Nurse at the home, wrote to the palace in June to share her Jubilee poem with them, which was in our Jubilee Newsletter.
Amanda surprised us with a letter from Kensington Palace on Tuesday 18th October. We opened it with much excitement and read it together.
Remembrance Art
In remembrance of our Queen Elizabeth we wanted to stick up some colourful art of Her Majesty in remembrance of all the bright colours she used to wear. We used a lightbox to make our template and then used some Pop Art techniques to create these beautiful pieces of art, each resident wrote a message and then signed it.
Barry and Harley!
Barry here is a massive motorbike fan! They have been a huge part of his life so when a relative came by with this sparkling Harley Davidson, Barry got to have a rev up! He proudly has this photograph framed and on his wall.
Baking!
We picked apples from our Wood Grange apple tree and made these yummy apple and custard desserts.
