Activities at Claremont Parkway 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.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Elain Carey
Hi. My name is Elain and I help to deliver the daily programme of activities and entertainment and celebrations - there is always a birthday to celebrate! I like to see residents making friends and chatting with each other. I have a background in dance, music and acting, and I am also a qualified Zumba instructor, so I love it when we have entertainers in the home. We also have regular visits by therapy pets which residents find very relaxing.
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

Celebrating the Greats on World Art Day
On Tuesday we honoured the power of creativity and its ability to inspire, heal, and connect us all, This special day also marked the birthday of one of history's greatest artists and thinkers-Leonardo da Vinci.
In tribute, our talented resident's spent the morning sketching and colouring a portrait of da Vinci himself, With steady hands and a thoughtful gaze they brought the Renaissance master to life on paper, capturing not just his likeness, but the spirit of curiosity and imagination he so famously embodied.
Art has no age limit, and moments like this remind us that creativity continues to flourish at every stage of life.
Our residents love art and each week we focus on a different artist, their work and life.

This mobile initiative is designed to bring policing closer to the community giving local residents the opportunity to learn about crime prevention, report local issues, and share their perspectives directly with the officers.
We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a regular ‘Police Surgery’ at the home. Once the next surgery date is confirmed we'll advertise on this page giving you time to schedule your visit and compile any questions.
