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
Costa Coffee anyone?
Our residents love to get out and about in the local community, a trip to the local Tesco superstore in Kettering inevitably ends with a chats over a large Americano with cream!
Only the best for our lovely ladies.

Recognising Our Team - Carers Week 2023
The theme for Carers Week 2023 is ‘recognising and supporting carers in the community’ – In celebration we would like to introduce you to the Claremont Parkway Team and provide them with the recognition they deserve for being so wonderful all year round!
Please raise a glass to Senior Carers 'Jess and Chloe' who have worked at Claremont Parkway for the past 8 years, both are very proud of achieving senior status within the home, and have a great rapport with the team and our residents.
Celebrating National Biscuit Day
Whether you’re a die-hard Digestive fan, a Ginger Nut, or go crazy for a Custard Cream, National Biscuit Day, celebrated on May 29th, is the perfect day for you.
And it was certainly a day of fun-filled biscuit dunking for the staff and residents at Claremont Parkway. To mark the celebration, Chef baked a selection of shaped shortbread biscuits for our residents and staff to decorate before dunking!
Natalie Maxwell, General Manager, said: "All our residents love tucking into the freshly baked biscuits our chef makes every day, but National Biscuit Day gave us the perfect excuse to nibble even more than normal! We all had great fun decorating each with a variety of colourful toppings."
Happy Birthday 'Barbara'
This week we celebrated our beautiful care home assistant practitioner, Barbara's birthday. As she's not that keen on cake, 2nd Chef Veronika presented her with a stack of her favourite cheese straws! (Hopefully not all eaten by Amancita).
Happy Birthday from everyone at Claremont Parkway, we hope you enjoyed the straws, and flowers as gorgeous as you!
