Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Afternoon Energise & Indulgence
Friday saw our residents enjoying a delightful afternoon of gentle fitness, designed to promote movement, flexibility, and well-being in a relaxed and supportive setting.
The light exercises were tailored to suite all abilities, encouraging everyone to join in at their own pace.
After working up a light appetite, residents were treated to a traditional cream tea, complete with freshly baked scones, jam and cream, served alongside a comforting cup of tea - Well it was National Cream Tea Day!
The session was filled with smiles, conversation, and a wonderful sense of community - a perfect balance of wellness and indulgence.
Teddy Bears Picnic
Today we had a very special Teddy Bears Picnic with our residents and Parent and Baby group.
We had a joyful intergenerational get together filled with cuddly bears, picnic treats, and games as well as sharing stories across generations.
There was lots of laughter, connection, and the simple joy of spending time together, It's a wonderful opportunity to build friendships, bridge generation, and create lasting memories-for the young, the young at heart, and everyone in between.
Beating the Heat with Hydration
Keeping Hydrated in a care home during hot weather is essential for both staff and residents to maintain good health and well-being.
Promoting hydration is a simple but vital part of ensuring comfort, safety, and dignity for everyone in the care home during hot weather.
Staff, residents and their families welcomed the ice filled hydration station of cold drinks on offer as the UK weather continued to soar!

A truly enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
National Flower Week
This week our residents took part in a heart warming activity to celebrate National Flower Week by planting a vibrant array of flowers in pots to place around our home and garden.
