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
Tara Musical Magic
Once again Claremont parkway happily welcomed the absolutely Amazing Tara Horgan - Vocal Coach into the home.
As usual she blew us away with her fantastic voice.
Residents and staff danced together to the fantastic choices of musical numbers she brought us, although not all were dance numbers every song hit a chord we were all able to sway with.
Pub Day
Some of the residents of Claremont Parkway enjoyed a lovely stroll out to the pub, where they enjoyed some classic pub food!
Everyone had a great laugh with each other and were all very merry. Residents enjoyed talking with the staff, and the service was great.
We're already planning to go back soon!

Hamerton Zoo Day 2
Today some more residents visited Hamerton Zoo the weather was just perfect. Residents and staff had a lovely picnic set up by our hospitality team to enjoy during the trip which we ate whilst watching the animals. As the sun shone we also enjoyed ice creams serve at the zoo which was an absolute treat to cool us down.
The animals were full of fun playing together...What an amazing day!
