Activities at Parley Place 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.
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.
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 Parley Place Care Home
Trip to the Golf course!
We took a few ladies and gents to Ferndown Forest Golf Club, so they could reminisce about the hours they spent around different golf courses and also take part in putting a few balls!
30th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations
Happy Pearl Anniversary,
Our lovely chef baked a beautiful cake for 2 of our residents as they celebrated their Pearl wedding anniversary. Jenny and Gerry celebrated 30 wonderful years of marriage in the home last week, we were delighted to be able to help them to mark this momentous occasion. We asked Jenny what the secret to a long happy marriage was and her answer.... Tolerance!
Raffi visits!
We welcomed the gorgeous Raffi into the home, the sun was shining so we joined together in the garden to say hello to him and enjoy some tea and cakes!
Scottish Dancers
We welcomed some Scottish Dancers into the home yesterday, they came in to thank our resident Bob who used to be part of their club for the donation of his kilt to them.
We had a fabulous afternoon dancing and listening to the accordion.
Ice Creams all round!
What else to do on a beautiful summer day than call the ice cream van to come round! Sharon's Ice cream Van's obliged us and called in on us this afternoon, residents and the team all had a lovely treat on this gorgeous day, we sat in the shade of the garden enjoying our ice creams, it was a perfect afternoon.
Setting Sail!
We set sail yesterday with our friends on the Dolphin III boat, sailing from Poole Quay round the bay towards Brownsea Island and back. The weather was lovely and it was so nice to be on the water - we were even taught a bit about nautical navigation!
