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
Armchair travel to India
Peter loved our day of armchair travel to India held at Claremont Parkway. Our travel experience began with a three-course lunch, freshly made by the home’s catering team. The menu included chickpea & vegetable soup, onion bhajis, lamb biryani, vegetable korma, sweet rice kheer and honey sponge cake. Lunch was followed by a virtual trip to historic sites including the Taj Mahal, the Gateway of India, Pathirakali Amman Temple, and Meenakshi Temple. Residents loved the amazing colours. Later we watched films of Shiva Shambho dancing and tried classical gestures and poses used in Bollywood dancing. The day was filled with new cultural experiences and enjoyed by all.
Beautiful autumn wreaths
We are welcoming in the autumn by being creative with the gorgeous, rich colours we find on walks in our garden at Claremont Parkway. We have made some lovely wreaths to decorate our corridors and lounges. Senior Carer Nina, and Resident Ambassador Jayne, enjoyed an afternoon together discussing what they enjoy about this season.
Autumn walks in the garden
We were delighted to see that there are still brightly coloured flowers in the garden at Claremont Parkway when we went outside for some fresh air today.
Jayne enjoys a game of giant football
We have several giant games that residents play in our lounge. As well as being fun it helps to keep our joints moving. Jayne enjoyed kicking the giant football to friends at Claremont Parkway.
Chippy Tea for Peter
We love the food our in-house Chef and kitchen team make at Claremont Parkway, but occasionally we can't resist the taste and smell of traditional takeaway fish and chips. Chef Hayley and Head of Maintenance Steve took our minibus out and loaded it with residents' favourites from our local chippy. Everyone enjoyed their treat especially Peter.
Peter enjoys a wine-tasting session
Claremont Parkway Care Home had a great afternoon taking part in the Barchester-wide wine-tasting session, led virtually by an expert who used Zoom to reach residents in all of our homes. We ordered the wines in advance and Peter especially enjoyed the variety available. We learned which wines go with which types of food, and we started to recognise the subtleties of their flavour.
