Fairby Grange

We have our own ‘Activities Co-ordinator’, Janet, who organises a range of activities to suit your interests, needs, mobility and capabilities. This includes things such as music and movement to walks in the grounds or even a spot of gardening. We also feel it is important for our residents to remain mentally active, and therefore, Janet will organise brain stimulating activities such as  ‘Reminiscence sessions’, Quiz games and discussions on current affairs and newspaper stories.

If you have a particular hobby, bring it with you.  We will do everything we can to help you continue with  your favourite hobby.

Janet, our activities coordinator, arranges a wide variety of activities throughout the week. Summer Garden Parties and Christmas parties are a real favourite.

Other activities include bingo, card sessions, movement to music, drawing and painting, Easter bonnet making, manicures, sing-along’s, Scrabble, Ludo, film shows with ice creams and popcorn, knitting and outings to places of interest and shopping excursions.

We also have a group of residents who play cards every day for an hour before lunch, and new residents are encouraged to join in.

Relatives and friends are also encouraged to attend our social events such as resident’s Christmas Party, Summer Garden parties and Entertainment Evenings
