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
Easter Card Competition
As part of the Easter celebrations at Claremont Parkway, we ran an Easter card competition and invited local nurseries to take part.
Children from Busy Bees Nursery and Windermere Nursery made cards to enter into the competition. Residents at Claremont Parkway enjoyed seeing all the cards the children had created. The residents picked winners for first place, second place and third place prizes.
Karen Bevan, the Member and Community Relations Officer for the Co-operative, very kindly donated gift vouches for us to purchase the prizes with.
Easter Sunday
Residents and the team here at Claremont Parkway had lots of fun on Easter Sunday with a guess the weight of the cake competition. Congratulations to Nicoleta, one of our wonderful nurses, who won the Easter egg prize.
St Patrick's Day
Residents here at Claremont Parkway had a lovely afternoon celebrating all things Irish.
We had Irish Bingo, Irish trivia and an Irish quiz. We also enjoyed Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance in the background and drank some Guinness.
Everyone had a very lovely afternoon.
Mother's Day
The lovely ladies here at Claremont Parkway enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day. We had lots of beautiful flowers and gifts brought in from the families. Everyone enjoyed a delicious roast chicken dinner and had a lovely day.
We even had a lovely surprise from Jeanette, one of our residents' daughters. She had very kindly made lots of little bunches of flowers for all the Mothers in the home which all the ladies thought were so pretty and kind.
Pirate Day
We had a fun afternoon here at Claremont Parkway. We had a treasure hunt and watched a Treasure Island Pantomime, which the residents loved. Everyone had such a fun afternoon!
Celebrating the Oscars
We enjoyed Hollywood stars bingo and an ultimate movie quiz and, of course with popcorn. The residents loved the afternoon, talking about their favourite movie stars and looking back at the movies they love.
