Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home
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.

Life at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Skittles and Hoops

Kettering Library Pop-Up
We've been out in the local community with the Claremont Parkway and Elm Bank care home managers at Kettering Library. It was wonderful to meet so many people, find out more about life in Kettering and hand out homemade cakes, goodies and refreshments.
We hope to hold another pop up in a few weeks time. We'll be there again from 10am to 12 noon we've got lots of community events and forthcoming activities to tell you about!
Plant Pot Painting
There's nothing better than a good chat whilst doing a pot of painting in the summer sun. Our lovely ladies have started painting decorative designs on clay pots in colours common to Hawaii, which will be the theme of this years Claremont Parkway 'Summer Fête' on Saturday 22nd July 2023. (More details to follow).
Well done ladies, they're looking fabulous. We look forward to seeing the finished pots on sale at the fête .
Happy Fathers Day
Today we celebrated Fathers Day with the gentlemen at Claremont Parkway. With a card from all the staff and sweet treat to enjoy before lunch. It was lovely to meet so many family members popping in to spend quality time with their dads on this special day.
Fun In The Garden
This week with the sun shining and new garden furniture unpacked, our residents have been enjoying some fun garden games from archery to sling-shot comet dart target practice. The great weather certainly brings smiles and laughter to all our faces, and the hydrating ice lollies and regular juices have been going down rather very well too!
Cooling Rain Storm
Our staff believe; "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain." Happy days team!
