Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home

At Claremont Parkway some residents gathered in the TV lounge and others watched from their rooms to pay respect as the Pope's funeral was broadcast live. The atmosphere throughout the care home was quiet and reflective, with many taking comfort in being part of the global farewell.

Some chose to sit together in quiet companionship, while others watched privately, each honouring the moment in their own way. It was a time shared reverence, reflection, and prayer, bringing a sense of unity and peace at the home.

Every Month, Tom from Gfitness comes into Claremont Parkway to lead a gentle exercise session with our residents. These classes are designed to be low-impact and accessible for all abilities, focusing on improving mobility, flexibility, and strength in a safe, supportive environment.

Tom brings energy and encouragement, helping each resident participate at their own pace, whether seated or standing. It's a wonderful opportunity for residents to stay active, boost their mood, and enjoy a sense of community through movement.

On St George's Day Claremont Parkway was filled with joy and nostalgia as Steve Jay brought the spirit of England to life through music. With classic English tunes, sing-along favourites, and playful nods to knights, dragons, and old traditions, the performance had residents smiling, clapping, and even singing along.

It was a heart warming celebration that blended music, tradition, and community - a perfect way to honour St George's Day and lift everyone's spirits.

Our parent & baby group which is hosted within the warm and welcoming environment of Claremont Parkway, each week. It is a joy to witness the beautiful bond between generations as well as the incredible progression in the babies' development. 

From the early stages of gentle tummy time and wide-eyed wonder to the excitement of crawling, cruising and those first wobbly steps, each week brings new milestones. 

Our residents take great delight in watching the little ones grow more confident and curious, often sharing smiles, stories and gentle encouragement.
This special setting creates a unique opportunity for connection-where babies learn through play and interaction, and our residents feel a renewed sense of purpose and joy, forming meaningful bonds that benefit both generations.

Please join us every Wednesday from 10am for this FREE playgroup open to all parents across the Kettering area.
