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.

Activities Co-ordinator

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.

Christmas Lights Switch On

We had a fabulous evening for our Christmas Lights Switch on yesterday - in true British style the weather wasn't on our side and not log into the event the rain arrived but Bournemouth Youth Marching Band carried on playing regardless whilst the residents went inside to carry on listening. We all enjoyed hot chocolates, mulled wine, mince pies and cakes..Our lovely town crier David Craner was on hand for the evening to help announce our lights switch on and lead us in singing Happy Birthday to a number of our residents who are celebrating this week!
