Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home

At Claremont Parkway we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community. Life here is about being part of the local community and enjoying life long hobbies whilst also exploring new experiences. 

Last week, in recognition of Black History Month we enjoyed a session from the African Drumming sensation; Liz and Devinder at In2Cultures

The group visited our home with an amazing array of instruments to run an African music and dance class with our residents. We had such fun listening to the rhythm of the drums, chanting and dancing along to the songs. 

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

Everyone at Claremont wished a Happy Birthday to our lovely resident Phyllis, who certainly enjoyed her special day. Phyllis was very surprised to receive a delicious homemade cake, decorated by our home chefs. Phyllis was presented her cake from team, family members and other residents while singing Happy Birthday. Phyllis was full of happiness and loved the whole occasion.

Regular trips to local attractions, areas of natural beauty and other excursions are important parts of our life enrichment program and feature often on our resident-led activity planners. 

Last Wednesday we took several residents on a lovely trip to Beckworth Emporium located in Mears Ashby, nestled in the Northamptonshire countryside.

As we wondered the amazing food and gift halls residents; Mary, Penny and Toni had a lovely time browsing all the goods on offer from lush chocolates to unique gifts, not to mention some very unusual vegetables! 

The emporium has something for everyone. Our residents took time to relax having a cream tea before finishing the day in the ‘Christmas Wonderland’ where Penny and Karen even found their idle man!

If only money was no object, we all agreed we’d have had a hard time choosing what to buy… if we couldn't buying everything.

The smell and colour of fresh cut flowers can mean so much to different people, they bring back happy memories and can brighten your day.  

This week, residents Mari and Phyllis had the pleasure of making various displays for the homes' dining tables, reception and cafe areas. We would like to thank Joyce's family for their extremely thoughtful donation these beautiful blooms have filled our home with love and sweet aromas.

Did you know we have regular events and entertainment happening at our home? Our residents enjoy a variety of life enrichment activities for their minds, body and soul on a daily basis. 

If music be the food of love... we'll let Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer and Katie Rose Vocalist play on! We always enjoy a performance from these wonderful "glitzy" ladies.

Back by popular demand, this week our residents were treated to a fabulous performance by Harpist and Singer; Pauline Vallance whose approach is to provide a variety of songs, meaningful to different people, fun and that strike the right cord with her audience!

To accompany such a classical afternoon our hospitality team prepared an array of sweet and savoury treats all served with a pop of prosecco. Our social calendar often includes wine tasting, reminiscence activities, book clubs, card clubs, bridge clubs and chess – the choice is based on the interests of our residents.
