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.

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
Easton Alpaca's Bring Joy
There was the look of pure delight on Residents, staff and visitors faces at Claremont Parkway as we welcomed Easton Way Farm to our home for their first of many planned Alpaca visits! We were able to feed them, stroke them and throughout the visit learnt some very interesting facts about these very gentle Alpacas.
Thank you so much to the whole team at Easton Way Farm and your beautiful, friendly Alpaca.
A Cheese Sensation!
As part of our life enrichment programme we like to offer our residents something different... This week it was all about ‘Cheese’! We invited everyone to try a selection of fabulous cheese and biscuits, from the traditional Cheddar to vegan Applewood, Blue Stilton, Brie and Goats Cheese followed by a True and False quiz about cheese from around the world.
Each had their favourites (Peter’s face says it all on the ones we didn’t enjoy).
Wellbeing Wednesday
Winding down and stretching the day out with a little armchair exercise courtesy of activities assistant; Elain. Our residents love Elain's exercise sessions that help promote continued wellbeing and relaxation.
Happy 50th Birthday sweet 'Shenine'
Our wonderful resident Shenine was treated to a lovely pamper session before being presented with her homemade birthday cake and flowers from her Claremont Parkway family.
"Happy birthday gorgeous lady, we hope you've had a very special day just like you!"
Claremont Hawaiian Hula Party
The 'Claremont Hawaiian Hula' was in full swing!
As our residents, staff, family and friends got together to join the party, escape the rain.
As we entered into paradise with Katie Rose Vocalist and Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer getting us all up and dancing the clouds away. It was then all grass skirts and Hawaiian Leis swaying throughout the home as Tara Horgan - Vocal Coach took to the stage to perform.
The games and stalls were buzzing and the raffle tickets went as fast as Vera's cakes!
