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.
Elain Carey
Hi. My name is Elain and I help to deliver the daily programme of activities and entertainment and celebrations - there is always a birthday to celebrate! I like to see residents making friends and chatting with each other. I have a background in dance, music and acting, and I am also a qualified Zumba instructor, so I love it when we have entertainers in the home. We also have regular visits by therapy pets which residents find very relaxing.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Magic Moments with Furry Friends
Animals come in all sizes and being able to care, and caress them helps release endorphins that produce a calming effect. This week residents, and good friends; Mari and Phyllis had a wonderful time taking tea together whilst getting to know our visiting Pet Therapy guinea pig.
Getting Olympic Ready
Claremont Parkway are getting fit for the up and coming Olympics with a little target practice. Everyone agreed, it's lovely to get out in the garden and have some fun in the summer sun. Providing a variety of life enrichment activities for our residents mind, body and soul is our aim at Claremont Parkway.
Digging for Dinosaurs!
This week our residents had fun becoming archaeologists. Using a small chisel and brush to dig into each 'fossilised' egg they gradually revealed a unique mini dinosaur inside. Every little dinosaur came with a matching information card that the group could use to find out all the interesting facts about the real dinosaur that once walked this planet.
During the activity resident; Mollie spoke about her time going along to an archeological dig in Pychley.
Pampered Pooch
This little pampered pooch was visiting another resident at Claremont Parkway when she was snaffled by Phyllis... definitely puppy love at first sight!
Aqua Art
Art of any form can help focus the mind, improve concentration and calms moods. The sense of achievement our residents enjoy is clear as they brush clear water over the aqua art sheets to reveal the hidden images below.
