Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home

Each week, our parent and baby group brings joy and warmth to our residents as they watch these little ones grow and flourish. From tiny first smiles to curious steps and playful giggles, the weekly visits create a special bond across generations.

The presence of these young families bring life, laughter, and a sense of connection that enriches everyone's day-reminding us all of the beauty of new beginnings and the joy of watching them unfold together.

Voices of compassion: Celebrating Our Nurses. On Monday 12th of May we celebrated the incredible dedication, compassion, and strength of our nurses-true heroes who give their all every single day.

From comforting words to exceptional care, their impact reaches far beyond what words can express. In honour of International Nurses Day , and as a gesture of appreciation, manager Jo treated the nursing team and staff to pizzas to celebrate.

An amazing day was had on Thursday May 8th as we Celebrated the historic day that marked the end of the war in Europe, residents gathered to remember and celebrate VE Day with music, memories, and joy. 

Claremont Parkway was filled with the nostalgic sound of Matt Miller and his trombone as he made personal visits to residents in their rooms sharing familiar wartime tunes from Glen Miller and bringing smiles to many faces. Later, the celebrations continued in the lounge, where we honoured the two minutes silence before Matt gave us a group performance, filling the room with spirit of unity, resilience, and remembrance.

It was a touching morning of tribute to a moment in history that still lives in the hearts of those who lived through it.

Lunchtime arrived and residents were treated to a beautifully set indoor dinner party, complete with Union Jack decorations and a menu inspired by classic 1940s favourites.

The atmosphere was warm and festive with laughter and conversations flowing.

As the afternoon unfolded, the celebrations took a lively turn with a performance by the ever-popular Reggae Ray.
His vibrant renditions of timeless classics from Vera Lynn, Bob Marley, Elvis and many more as well as  informative facts of wartime history had everyone clapping, singing along & dancing before enjoying an afternoon buffet.

Bringing a joyful close to a day filled with remembrance, music & togetherness.

Today at our Parent & Baby Group we had a VE Day themed event to honour our fallen and the sacrifices they made. Honouring our past whilst embracing the future is so very important to us all. Bringing together the young and older generation to remember and rejoice the freedom we all enjoy today is priceless.

Today we're at the Holiday Inn, Corby for the ‘Mature Driver’s Roadshow’ which aims to inform and raise awareness for drivers over 60+ years of age on all aspects of safe driving, and the latest highway code!

Driving is an important part of our everyday life and Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA) are keen to help to keep mature drivers driving safer for longer.

It was wonderful to meet so many new people and have the opportunity to invite them to our beautiful home for our numerous free to attend activities and events, complimentary meals, and share our don't dine alone initiatives.

At the request if our residents we had an evening of Cocktails, Canapes and Cards which turned out to be the perfect recipe for fun.

We had a lovely evening reminiscing about card games such as Snap, Happy Families, and Patience whilst learning some new games such as 7's which had Mollie cheering when she won the first game.

Card games bring everyone together for laughter, light-hearted fun and competition, and a bit of brain-boosting too. Add in some delicious canapes and a cocktail or two and you've got a social night to remember.

It's not just about the games-it's about the giggles, the good company, and the joy of sharing stories over snacks and shuffles!
