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.

Life at Rothsay Grange Care Home
A Donation for The Dogs Trust
In the afternoon of the 4th we took some cat and dog toys, blankets and food to the dogs trust.
We were able to have a walk around to see the dogs that are waiting for forever homes.
John was over the moon to be able to meet some of them and help with giving the goods to the staff.
It was a wonderful afternoon and the staff were very helpful.
We would like to thank all the people that helped with the collection.
Mystery Trip
Fun was had on the bus trip on 4th September. The residents were treated to a trip to see the wonders of Autumn. As they travelled around we come across this little hedge row witch, if you look closely she is holding an apple! The residents had fun naming her and we all had a game of what the witch was waiting for.
Irene’s perfect day
Dream come true. Irene said her perfect day would be to go into town, feed the ducks and have a cup of tea with friends so we gave Irene her perfect day! We had a mooch around some shops. We all reminisced about how the shops have changed, in Rita’s and Irene’s younger years they had to go to multiple shops to get everything they needed but now we can just go to one shop and get what we need.
Sue and Dee singing
Just the 2 of us was with again to sing our residents favourite songs, all residents was singing along. Sue and Dee brought sparkly hats that matched their shoes so the residents could shine like a diamond.
Rita's dream day in the New Forest
Dreams do come true, Rita wanted her perfect day to be in the New Forest with a picnic and friends.
As soon as we drove into the forest we saw horses, foals, cows. Dog walkers and people running.
It was a warm day so we found a nice cool spot to have our lunch picnic. As we set up a big black Labrador dog come up to say hello.
We all had a chat with his owner who told us a little about the part of the woods we were in he lived local to the area.
We also had some horses walk behind us as we were eating. The drive there and back was so enjoyable as we saw lots of horses grazing along the verge.
Rita was over the moon to be there with the horses, she used to work with horses and told us about her and the days she taught children to ride and the disabled.
Another day of meeting with the community and having fun.
World Chocolate Day
7th July saw us enjoy a day of all things chocolate, we had fun with a chocolate quiz in the morning and talking about our most loved chocolate bars from when we were children.
In the afternoon we had a chocolate fountain and lots of different chocolates to try and fruit to dip.
WE even got Chris from maintenance to join us. The residents got him to try the chocolate he did not need much persuasion.
We then put melted chocolate into bowls as this is a better way just in case of allergies, we all enjoyed a nice bowl of warm melted chocolate and we dipped the fruit wow it was great.
