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
Lunch Out At The Local
Who doesn't enjoy a trip to the local pub? Last week, a happy band of Claremont Parkway residents and staff decided to try something different taking a minibus trip to The Trading Post in Kettering.
Over the coming summer months we intend to fulfil our residents' wishes with many more trips out to visit different local establishments, pubs, cafes, and points of interest around Kettering.
Lucia introduces 'Coco' and Friends
Last week we welcomed Lucia's Tiny Farm with guest star, and new edition to the family farm; 'Coco' the fluffiest of puppies we've seen in a long time.
Lucia always brings a menagerie of small animals for our residents and staff to hold and learn more about, from guinea pigs to rats, reptiles to rabbits, we absolutely adore each and every one of these creatures.
It was smiles all-round the home as the animals, and especially Coco made friends with us.
National Doughnut Week
How can a mixture of flour, milk, eggs, yeast, salt and sugar deep fried until golden brown taste so good? When it becomes a delicious fluffy doughnut and topped with your favourite sweet things!
We’re a nation of doughnut lovers and over the weekend and in celebration of National Doughnut Week on 20-28 May our residents enjoyed a master class in doughnut topping (and eating) with a tray of freshly made doughnuts courtesy of the hospitality team.
The Claremont cookery class, with help from Home Manager; Natalie selected their favourite icing sugar colours and sprinkles to decorate each one before tucking in with a nice cup of tea.
Well done ladies, they look amazing!
Trip to Tesco's
Respite Resident; Barbara is a very independent lady who loves to shop! On a short visit to gather a few essentials from her flat today, our Head of Maintenance; Steve gave her the opportunity to nip into Tesco's Extra to browse the aisles for anything else she felt she needed to make her stay at Claremont Parkway even more special. (Umm Chocolate … and why not!).
David Entertains
An afternoon of song and dance with David on his Keyboard and Accordion. Our residents think his super and had a fabulous time not letting any staff member pass by without a little boogie!
Pamper Session with Care Team
We're a caring lot at Claremont Parkway. When our residents request some pampering everyone is willing to lend a hand to make them feel extra special from head to toe!
Members of the care team helped by the new addition to our happy family; Amelia from Tresham College in Kettering.
Amelia is a Year 2 student studying 'Health and Social Care' and on a work placement at Claremont Parkway to observe, assist and learn from the team on her career path to working in the medical profession.
Her caring nature, patience and understanding shone through as she provided hand massages and manicures, chatting away to each resident and getting to know them better.
You can see from their faces they enjoyed every minute of the 121 pamper sessions with the team.
