Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home
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.
Daxter Board
Hi, my name is Daxter and I'm the activities coordinator here at Claremont Parkway. I've worked within care homes since moving to Kettering and have experience across the departments giving me a good understanding of all our resident's needs.
I'm passionate about providing tailored activities that truly engage each and every resident. Through getting to know them as individuals, I can work together with my colleagues to find life enriching experiences; small or large that will brighten their days whilst they reside with us.
We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here to contact me direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Life at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Friday is Funday Fryay!
Last Friday was a Funday Fryay!
With residents and staff enjoying shaking their musical instruments to the keyboard sounds and songs from David McFagan before a tucking into an old school chippy lunch from Ocean Bay Kettering with compulsory mushy peas!
Recognising Our Team - Carers Week 2023
The theme for Carers Week 2023 is ‘recognising and supporting carers in the community’ – In celebration we would like to introduce you to the Claremont Parkway Team and provide them with the recognition they deserve for being so wonderful all year round!
Please raise a glass to Senior Carers 'Jess and Chloe' who have worked at Claremont Parkway for the past 8 years, both are very proud of achieving senior status within the home, and have a great rapport with the team and our residents.
Celebrating National Biscuit Day
Whether you’re a die-hard Digestive fan, a Ginger Nut, or go crazy for a Custard Cream, National Biscuit Day, celebrated on May 29th, is the perfect day for you.
And it was certainly a day of fun-filled biscuit dunking for the staff and residents at Claremont Parkway. To mark the celebration, Chef baked a selection of shaped shortbread biscuits for our residents and staff to decorate before dunking!
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager, said: "All our residents love tucking into the freshly baked biscuits our chef makes every day, but National Biscuit Day gave us the perfect excuse to nibble even more than normal! We all had great fun decorating each with a variety of colourful toppings."
Happy Birthday 'Barbara'
This week we celebrated our beautiful care home assistant practitioner, Barbara's birthday. As she's not that keen on cake, 2nd Chef Veronika presented her with a stack of her favourite cheese straws! (Hopefully not all eaten by Amancita).
Happy Birthday from everyone at Claremont Parkway, we hope you enjoyed the straws, and flowers as gorgeous as you!
Lunch Out At The Local
Who doesn't enjoy a trip to the local pub? Last week, a happy band of Claremont Parkway residents and staff decided to try something different taking a minibus trip to The Trading Post in Kettering.
Over the coming summer months we intend to fulfil our residents' wishes with many more trips out to visit different local establishments, pubs, cafes, and points of interest around Kettering.
Lucia introduces 'Coco' and Friends
Last week we welcomed Lucia's Tiny Farm with guest star, and new edition to the family farm; 'Coco' the fluffiest of puppies we've seen in a long time.
Lucia always brings a menagerie of small animals for our residents and staff to hold and learn more about, from guinea pigs to rats, reptiles to rabbits, we absolutely adore each and every one of these creatures.
It was smiles all-round the home as the animals, and especially Coco made friends with us.
