HEALTH
Not everyone is able to live as independently as they were once able
to, so often care homes are also on site and at Debden Grange such
a care home is available with a range of care services should it be
necessary in the future.
Our checklist prioritised social activities as being very important for
my Gran. We knew that, despite daily visits from her family whilst she
still lived at home, Gran was missing the company of like-minded
people of a similar age.
So the clubhouse at Debden Grange sounds ideal with a relaxing
lounge, restaurant, bar, reading area and a meeting room. And the
facilities don’t stop there – there’s also a shop, a hairdressers and a
mini-bus.
Residents will have the option to participate in the wide range of
village activities which typically include choir, craft activities, exercise
classes, themed evenings and meals, visiting performers, pamper
days, quiz nights and much more.
My Gran is now happier, well fed and has the opportunity to be more
socially active than all of us put together. We still visit weekly and I
for one wouldn’t miss the Friday quiz followed by a sitting exercise
class. Gran gave me a run for my money last week when it came to
flexibility!
If you have a loved one who needs to make that first step, have a
closer look at what’s to come at Debden Grange by visiting our stateof-the-art
