HC-One’s Elworth Grange Care Home in Sandbach is embracing the changing season with warmth, creativity, and community. The home, which provides residential and residential dementia care, has kicked off its autumn activities with a fun and colourful Halloween craft session. Residents created simple yet beautiful pumpkins using vibrant pieces of card, combining creativity with social engagement.
Arts and crafts activities at Elworth Grange have been shown to provide numerous benefits for residents. They help stimulate cognitive function, improve hand-eye coordination, and encourage self-expression. Most importantly, they offer residents an enjoyable way to connect with each other, build friendships, and strengthen a sense of belonging within the home.
Reflecting on the summer months, residents and colleagues at Elworth Grange enjoyed a host of engaging activities, from regular outings, garden walks and afternoon teas to interactive games and music sessions, ensuring that every moment of the sunny season was celebrated. Now, as the cooler months approach, the home is preparing for autumn events including the much-anticipated Harvest Festival, offering residents the chance to participate in seasonal celebrations and remain active and engaged.
Commenting on the recent activities, Home Manager at HC-One’s Elworth Grange Care Home, Rachel McIntosh said:
"Our autumn crafts sessions are more than just fun, they allow our residents to express themselves, revisit happy memories, and enjoy moments of creativity and connection.
