Residents at The Grange are encouraged to bring personal effects, furniture and treasured belongings to help make it their own home.
DEMENTIA CARE
The Grange is dedicated towards providing a safe, homely environment for people living with dementia, we strive to ensure the care we provide supports residents’ freedom of choice. We aim to maintain their life-skills, improving their self-esteem and helping them to maintain and develop their independence while they are living with us.
Staff undertake specialist dementia care training with experienced training providers. Working together with dementia specialists, they ensure our training programmes are informed by the very latest thinking. We ensure that the people we support feel comfortable and safe in their surrounding environment, helping ensure they live life with dementia or without, to the full.
FOOD AND DRINK
As a member of the The Grange family you will find that there is plenty to choose from. All meals are home-cooked in our kitchens from fresh ingredients, by our chefs Karl & Lisa, and menus as well as changing regularly are tweaked weekly to keep food fresh, in season and relevant. You are offered a choice at every meal.
A great deal of time and thought is given to the menu with excellent food being served in the dining room at main meal times, and breakfast served in rooms. The main meal is lunch with a light hot supper in the early evening. Individual diets are catered for and residents are encouraged to participate in meal planning at the residents meetings. We also welcome visitors to enjoy a meal with us at The Grange.
ACTIVITIES
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
