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

Steve Jay Sings the Classics
Our residents love a game of dominoes in the morning, our cafe is a super location with cakes and coffee close to hand to keep us going! In the afternoon we were all toe tapping and hand clapping as we were entertained by the very talented Steve Jay with a beautiful rendition of 'I dreamed a dream' and many other songs that brought happy dancehall memories come flooding back.
Happy Birthday 'Derek'
Yesterday we started the afternoon activities with our hand exercises, which the residents are finding beneficial and as the weeks roll round we will be starting them with other gentle exercises as well as some relaxation to help with our physical and mental wellbeing!
We then played a physical game with encouragement to try and use a different throwing technique. Mary beat everyone with a very high score, this was followed by a quiz and facts on mythical creatures and legends.
We stopped briefly for refreshments and to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Derek before enjoying some of his cake made by Jorge the chef and finished the day with a game of snakes and ladders
Easter Fun with Busy Bees
It was wonderful to have a visit from the local nursery children at Busy Bees, who came to listen to an Easter story read by our lovely activities coordinator; Karen before going on an Egg hunt with the residents and joining our Easter bonnet parade. The residents took great joy in handing each child a home made Easter basket full of goodies.
it was certainly a fun packed intergenerational afternoon full of Easter blessings for everyone.
Good Friday Goodies
Today we enjoyed a game of Easter bingo and discussion group sharing facts surrounding Good Friday. The hot cross buns which were kindly donated by Tesco communities went down very well with a freshly brewed cup of tea!
Easter Gift from Tesco Local
We received a wonderful donation of hot cross buns from Julie at Tesco’s community Kettering. Our residents will certainly enjoy them with afternoon tea on Good Friday. Thank you Tesco, and Julie for bringing them over.
