Activities at Rothsay Grange Care Home
The activities coordinators at Rothsay Grange work 7 days a week to ensure there is a variety of planned group and one to one activities to suit all individual needs. The activities consist of weekly running activities such as chair zumba, Music therapy, an Arts club and many more. We also run a weekly minibus trip to local places of interest giving everyone a chance to have a trip out of the home.
Rothsay Grange also knows how to have a good old tea party alongside some fantastic entertainers and productions that visit the home on a regular basis. Irene and Aimee feel its very important to have the residents that live here to have a fun and fulfilled life and encourage them to attend as many activities as they wish.
Irene & Leah
Irene and Leah have been working together since 2019, and thoroughly enjoy planning and providing activities for our residents. They are a great team and always bring joy and fun to wherever they are in the home.
Leah has worked at Rothsay since she was 16, as an apprentice carer, and has worked her way into a position that she loves.
Irene has many years’ experience in working with vulnerable adults and children, and also started working here as a care assistant several years ago, before moving on to senior carer and then into the activities coordinator role.
Both love seeing the way that residents' lives are enriched with the activities they provide, and love interacting with all the residents in our care.

Festive Performance!
We had a lovely morning baking goodies ready for the residents Christmas Party, we had a Christmassy afternoon with Anthony Allgood, He was a cheeky chap, very playful and fun.
He kept us on our toes and was not sure what he was going to do next. He brought lots of laughter among the residents and staff.
A Christmas Donation
Over the past few weeks staff here at Rothsay have been purchasing toys to donate to Noami House Last week Amanda, General Manager, made the trip out to donate them.
We couldn't be more pleased to donate to such an amazing local charity. We hope the children enjoy them!
National Elf Day
Staff swapped their uniforms for costumes on National Elf Day in an effort to raise funds to help people living with dementia.
On the day, residents and staff were able to enjoy elf-themed games including best-dressed elf competition, Amanda Parsons singing in the afternoon and a Christmas quiz.
Fire Service Cafe
Vintagehoot.uk brought Mabel a 1955 Ford Fire Truck, old met new as the local fire

The children was very excited to see Mabel the old fire truck and a new fire truck.
