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.

Congratulations Vera
We’re sending a massive ‘Congratulations’ to our 2nd Chef; Veronika Nemeth on achieving her Production Chef Level 2.
The Production Chef Apprenticeship Level 2 is for those who are working as part of a team. Within Claremont Parkway Veronika (Vera) is a key member of the hospitality team, she works closely with our Head Chef to produce centrally developed recipes and menus.
Achieving a distinction during her apprenticeship highlights her methodical organisational skills, energy and attention to detail. Vera has learnt so much including the key nutrient groups and methods of adapting dishes to meet the specific dietary, religious and allergenic needs of individuals.
We look forward to seeing the variety of cakes she'll now produce as she's also our star baker!
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager at Claremont Parkway, said: “Vera is an integral member of the team who excels at what she does. I’m delighted she has completed her Level 2 and continues to progress in her role. She has worked so hard and I’m very proud of her.”
Supporting Mature Drivers
Our General Manager; Natalie took time to meet and greet visitors to the Mature Drivers Roadshow at Northampton Police HQs. We had a chance to showcase the benefits of our home to all those attending this informative session as we all learnt about the new highway code and safer ways to drive longer.
Todays event was fully booked but tickets are still available for the next in September at the Goods Shed Rushden.... we'll see you there!
