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
Life at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Easter Fun with Busy Bees
It was wonderful to have a visit from the local nursery children at Busy Bees, who came to listen to an Easter story read by our lovely activities coordinator; Karen before going on an Egg hunt with the residents and joining our Easter bonnet parade. The residents took great joy in handing each child a home made Easter basket full of goodies.
it was certainly a fun packed intergenerational afternoon full of Easter blessings for everyone.
Good Friday Goodies
Today we enjoyed a game of Easter bingo and discussion group sharing facts surrounding Good Friday. The hot cross buns which were kindly donated by Tesco communities went down very well with a freshly brewed cup of tea!
Easter Gift from Tesco Local
We received a wonderful donation of hot cross buns from Julie at Tesco’s community Kettering. Our residents will certainly enjoy them with afternoon tea on Good Friday. Thank you Tesco, and Julie for bringing them over.
Easter Fun with Fabulous 'Fiona'
The residents of Claremont welcomed the lovely Fiona Harrison - A Voice in a Million, who sang a programme of Easter songs for us. The residents loved the outfit Fiona was wearing along with her Easter bonnet. Residents sang and clapped along to the songs they knew. A fun and entertaining afternoon enjoyed by all.
Interactive Inspiration
Yesterday we had a demonstration from Inspired inspiration on the tiny tablet. Stewart kindly told us all about the tablet and chose relevant apps for the residents to try out depending on their needs and their likes!
We weren’t sure who was more impressed the staff or residents but we were all in agreement it would be amazing to have the device in our home.
The Luck of the Irish
Residents of Claremont enjoyed a fabulous day celebrating St Patrick’s Day. We had a relaxed morning colouring Irish themed pictures and visiting residents in their rooms for a St Patricks day photoshoot and discussing all things Irish. June one of our residents treated us to a lovely song while in her room. In the afternoon we were delighted to welcome the Reynolds Academy of Irish Dance, who performed some lovely routines for us, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. A big thank you to the dancers that gave up their time to perform for us. One of our residents partners kindly read out a poem for us about Ireland, which sounded beautiful and was followed by refreshments made by one of our chefs Vera and we tasted some Irish soda bread. The day was rounded off with a quiz all about St Patrick’s Day and a general chat about Ireland. A fun packed, if somewhat tiring day was had by all.
