Activities at Parley Place Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Brian Ramsay
I love being a friendly face for our residents. A day in their lives should be filled with the care they deserve and enriched with activities. We embrace each and every moment and make memories, I have many skills and a passion to provide our residents with the social interactions, lots of activities, smiles, laughter and fun.

Life at Parley Place Care Home
Boutique in a Bus
We brought shopping to the home with a lovely visit from "Lady B" - Boutique in a Bus.
She had some lovely outfits and the residents enjoyed their shopping experience with Lesley.
Winchester Cathedral Trip
We had such fun at Winchester Cathedral that more residents wanted to experience this trip so we went off again with a group of our lovely ladies for a trip back in history to this magnificent cathedral.
Trip to cathedral
We had a fabulous day trip to Winchester Cathedral - the history and architecture was amazing and the pub after was a perfect end to a lovely visit
Out and About
Out and About
We've had some lovely mini bus trips lately - we've been to Christchurch Quay to look at the boats and today in this lovely weather we headed off to Haskins to get some idea's for the garden. Whilst we were there we had to have a cup of tea and try out some of the garden furniture!!!
Charity donation
We were delighted to welcome Lauren from Bournemouth Foodbank along to our community cafe this week to talk about the work they do and their social canteen. We presented them with a cheque from Barchester's Charitable Foundation and Lauren told us how this will fund their social canteen for 6 months. Hearing the breadth of support they offer was very heart-warming and we were pleased to be able to part of this.
Valentine Celebrations
A whole lot of love
We had a wonderful Valentines party this week with the fabulous Charlotte Geary - she sang some beautiful songs for us all around the theme of Love - with a few of our favourites added of course. We love the sound of her voice here at Parley and look forward to welcoming her back soon!
