Living Well

Lifestyle

Encouraging a high quality of life is at the heart of Welwyn Grange’s culture and ethos. Our Lifestyle Coordinators are dedicated to provide fun and engaging social calendars which will challenge your perceptions of life in a care setting. Our fun and aspirational activities are not only for you, but your friends and families are very welcome to get involved. However, if you prefer to relax and do very little that is fine too.

In addition, Welwyn Grange offers you the space to match your mood or interests; from keeping up your watercolour skills painting in the garden, to the best seat in the house in our Cinema Room, watching a favourite film or live sport.

“Do as much as or as little as you wish, but isn’t it nice to have the choice?”

It’s very easy to have become isolated and lonely in your existing home, so don’t under estimate the joy of making new friends at Welwyn Grange.

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life we miss when alone, be it joining in the morning scrabble group, or an afternoon Pimm’s in the sun; you can’t do the first by yourself and the second tastes twice as nice with a friend to chat with!

Dining and Nutrition

Quality food should always be one of life’s pleasures and is one of our highest priorities for you at Welwyn Grange. We believe that good nutrition is paramount to our health and wellbeing. Welwyn Grange meals are appetising, nutritionally balanced and visually pleasing. To ensure varied seasonally inspired menus, our team host regular tasting sessions with residents, to make sure our menus match your tastes and preferences.

For those that wish, why not compliment your meal with a glass or more of wine our beer!

Dining with Dignity

We want all residents to enjoy mealtimes, so if you require a modified or fortified diet, we can cater for you in a bespoke way, but make the dining experience inclusive and social (our texture modified meals meet all IDDSI guidance from level 6 to 3).

Alfresco?

Choose to eat in an air conditioned dining room or step outside to one of the dining tables in the garden; a great place to entertain family and friends.

Private Dining

Celebrating a birthday, anniversary or just wanting to spend quality time with a group of good friends or family? Then our private dining room is for you. Lunch or dinner, our home cooked food tastes even better when complimented with a glass of wine or beer.

Looking good, is feeling good.

Welwyn Grange has its own spa treatment room and hairdressing salon. Time for you to relax with a facial, be daring with new nails or maintain or change your hairstyle, whatever you choose, we have the ability to fulfil your wishes.

Social Life and Leisure Time

It is important to us that Welwyn Grange is an active part of our local community. There will be many opportunities for you to take part in a wide range of social activities within and outside of the home.

We want you to keep your connections and interests, enabling you to maintain memberships of local clubs and interest groups, or visits to some of our fabulous local cafés, restaurants or shopping trips (John Lewis is never far away!).

Having the opportunity to do something you enjoy is very important to us and a key feature of our home. We have links with a number of different faith groups and will help you to attend whichever you wish or invite representatives to visit you here.

We welcome a wide variety of guests to share their enthusiasm, knowledge and experiences in talks and demonstrations. These can range from local historians to visits from our local primary school and even music performances.
