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
National Earth Day
On Saturday 22nd April we celebrated Earth Day by revisiting the many David Attenborough 'Planet Earth' programs and documentaries. This years' of World Earth Day 2023 is "Invest in Our Planet".
Our residents enjoyed watching, and discussing what can be done to save the planet and if there were anyways in which we could help towards a sustainable future within the home?
Watch this space... we will certainly try to implement any new ideas.
10 Year Service for Barbara
We had the absolute pleasure of presenting Barbara Head; our wonderful Care Home Assistant Practitioner (CHAP) with her prestigious Barchester Long Service Award in celebration of working at Claremont Parkway for 10 years!
Please join us in congratulating her on achieving this amazing milestone. Barbara started within Claremont Parkway as a carer and worked progressively towards becoming a CHAP. Through hard work, dedication and training, Barbara has become a true asset to the team, committed to the care of our residents and their continued wellbeing.
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager of Claremont Parkway said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 10 years of loyal service with Barbara. She has demonstrated her dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents, year after year. Barbara is a real team player and very supportive of her colleagues a ‘sister’ to everyone, and respected by all.
We hope she takes time for herself to enjoy the chocolates, flowers and enjoys spending the voucher. I, and the team at Claremont Parkway look forward to many more years of working with Barbara.”
Oomph! Armchair Yoga
Oomph! ‘On Demand’ offers our residents a wonderful, easy to access range of exercise routines such as armchair yoga. Provided by a trained and engaging instructor, every move can be simply followed as residents are given plenty of time to keep up. They love these sessions, it's gives them a great start to the day.
Boogie with Singers
Who doesn't love a little 'shake, rattle and roll'?
It's always a pleasure to be entertained by the mother & daughter duo; Lesley Ann & Katie Rose. They sing all the classics our residents know and everyone gets to sing along and have a good old boogie.
Thank you ladies for another fantastic Claremont Parkway performance. Claremont Parkway care home provides a varied life enrichment programme tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
Happy Easter
Happy Easter from all at Claremont Parkway. The Easter bunny hopped in to deliver chocolate eggs and treats for our residents to enjoy. It was smiles all round from these lovely ladies as they woke to find their yummy chocolate surprize.
Goodbye Beckaa
After 8 years of continuous service our much-loved Head of Housekeeping 'Beckaa' said goodbye to her Claremont Parkway family for pastures new to become a Teaching Assistant.
Staff and residents will miss her beautiful smile, enthusiasm and overall kindness. We just know she'll make a super teaching assistant and those children will simply love her!
General Manager, Natalie said: “Beckaa is one of those people who was born to care for others – she has such a huge heart and greatly loved by everyone here at Claremont Parkway. We all wish her every success on her new teaching career path."
Best wishes for the future Beckaa, or should that read...'Miss Nolan'
