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
Nina and Barbara's Shopping Day
One of our fantastic carers; Nina, took a very happy resident; Barbara for a lovely shopping trip to Tesco so she could enjoy getting the fresh air and having a good look around the shop, being able to pick and choose whatever she wanted.
Since being at our home Nina and Barbara have formed a very good friendship, and Barbara always looks forward to seeing Nina on shift. Nina a great example of what a 'good carer' really is!
Battle of Britain Remembered
On Tuesday afternoon we were treated to a wonderful afternoon of 40’s music from the lovely Fiona Harrison. In honour of the Battle of Britain. Thank you Fiona for a lovely selection of songs, which all the residents thoroughly enjoyed hearing, singing along and dancing to.
Celebrating 10-years Service
Here at Claremont we celebrated 10 years of fantastic service from these two amazing carers who continue to provide outstanding care to the residents at our home. All carers and residents are always happy to see these two wonderful ladies are on shift.
A little known fact about them is that they became best friends whilst working at the home where they have continued to support carers and residents. A big congratulations for 10 years of service. We hope you enjoy the flowers chocolates and the vouchers ladies. From everyone at Claremont - THANKYOU!
Pop up Movie Afternoon
Today we had movie afternoon at the home where residents chose to watch the movie 'A Street Cat called Bob'. We made our own popcorn and compared it to a ready made pack . We also enjoyed a tub of quality streets together. The movie was enjoyed with a pause for refreshments of lemonade, more popcorn and crisps. One resident chose to play scrabble during the movie with Karen!
After which we discussed the film, it was a very relaxed afternoon.
Teddy Bears Picnic
We were visited today by the children from Busy Bees (Kettering) for a teddy bears picnic. The children went on a bear hunt, decorated teddy biscuits, made name tags for the teddy bears and listened to a bear story whilst having their picnic. The residents loved seeing the children playing and doing the activities.
Happy Day at the Zoo
Last Friday residents got to visit the amazing Hamerton Zoo. Needless to say they were completely taken back by all the amazing exotic animals they had and it put a smile to all our faces. We will be back soon.
