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
David Entertains
An afternoon of song and dance with David on his Keyboard and Accordion. Our residents think his super and had a fabulous time not letting any staff member pass by without a little boogie!
Pamper Session with Care Team
We're a caring lot at Claremont Parkway. When our residents request some pampering everyone is willing to lend a hand to make them feel extra special from head to toe!
Members of the care team helped by the new addition to our happy family; Amelia from Tresham College in Kettering.
Amelia is a Year 2 student studying 'Health and Social Care' and on a work placement at Claremont Parkway to observe, assist and learn from the team on her career path to working in the medical profession.
Her caring nature, patience and understanding shone through as she provided hand massages and manicures, chatting away to each resident and getting to know them better.
You can see from their faces they enjoyed every minute of the 121 pamper sessions with the team.
Hook-a-Duck Fun
It was an old school Fairground game that had our residents giggling this weekend, as they fished for prizes courtesy of Karen from our Care team who decided to try something new by creating a pop-up Hook-a-Duck' game. Thank you Karen it was such a laugh.
Happy Feet - Happy Resident
When you struggle to find a pair of shoes that fit we'd recommend you call Tracey (or as we now call her Cinderella) from EVANS Hearing & Healthcare Centre in Kettering. Whatever your mobility need Evans will step up to the challenge!
On learning about Roy's predicament they made it their quest to find him the perfect pair of slippers. The service and care they provided Roy was 1st class!
Celebrating International Nurses’ Day
In 2023, the theme for International Nurses’ Day is... Our Nurses. Our Future.
International Nurses’ Day is a day to give thanks for the dedication of care givers everywhere, who go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver extraordinary care and support.
Coinciding with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, International Nurses Day, held on Friday 12th May, is a day to celebrate nurses and care staff around the world.
The residents and staff at Claremont Parkway were happy to get involved by presenting their wonderful nurses with sweet treats and a surprize delivery of home-made cakes courtesy of their care colleagues Elm Bank Care Home - Barchester Healthcare.
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager at the home, said: “Our nurses and staff are hard-working, dedicated, and passionate about caring for others, and I’m proud of the professionalism and duty of care they uphold.
All their efforts are focused on delivering the best possible care for our residents, so it’s nice to take this time to show our appreciation in return.”
'In Full Sing' for the New King!
Claremont Parkway was 'In Full Sing' for the New King!
Excitement was in the air at Claremont Parkway Care Home yesterday for our 'Big Coronation Lunch' Residents and staff have been busy making Coronation-themed decorations and baking up a storm of red, white and blue cakes and pastries with the help of the homes hospitality team.
We had a fun-filled day of singing, dancing and glorious food including the King’s Coronation quiche!
Our residents, family and friends of the home enjoyed two live singing performances. With male vocalist; Ian Dixon in the morning with his repertoire of sixties songs, and the swinging melodies from various eras courtesy of the sensational Jenny Simmons in the afternoon.
The lounges and communal areas were full of dancing and laughter as we came together to celebrate our new King; Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager at Claremont Parkway said: “We’ve all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation. Our staff and residents love the Royals and so they were all so excited to take part. It was so lovely to be able to invite our friends and family to come and join us for a proper celebration too.”
