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.

Pancake Day was a flipping sucess with our residents and staff. We had freshly tossed pancakes from the kitchen, with a huge array of toppings for the residents to delve into to create their own pancake. We had a flipping contest for both residents and staff with prizes to be won. The resident winner was Violet with 9 flips and the staff winner was Penny the hairdresser with 200 flips. We finished the afternoon with our shrove Tuesday quiz, everyone who attended had a fantastic afternoon.
Alpacas visit the residents
With great demand we had the Alpacas come to visit the residents once again, this time bringing two different alpacas to meet the ladies and gentlemen of Rothsay Grange. We got to meet Freddie and Hurricane. Everyone was beaming and had plenty of questions to ask. They used the lifts to get to all the floors and meet those that were in there rooms so no one was left out from this unique experience.

Chico came to Rothsay on Monday 20th February bringing lots of fun and laughter to all the residents that attended. Tea and coffees were served while Chico sang a variety of music giving information about the artists and songs.
Mary Rose Talk
On Thursday 16th February we welcomed Trevor Sapey from the Mary Rose to give as a talk all about the story of the Mary Rose and showed us some replica items that were found on the Mary Rose ship. All the residents that came along said they had found it interesting and they can remember when they brought the Mary Rose up from the sea.
Valentines Day Celebrations
Love was in the air on Valentines day at Rothsay Grange, we had a Romatic afternoon tea party with entertainment from the very talented Gary Roman as Elvis. The ground floor dining room was decorated to perfection and We invited Milford House to join us in the celebrations. The kitchen done us proud with delivering heart shaped cakes for all to enjoy and the teas and coffees were flowing. We had labels on the tables for those who wanted could write a message and attach to a balloon to send of into the skies. Elvis handed out single roses to all that came to the party including staff and visitors everyone was made up and all involved had a great time.
