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
Supporting Mature Drivers
Our General Manager; Natalie took time to meet and greet visitors to the Mature Drivers Roadshow at Northampton Police HQs. We had a chance to showcase the benefits of our home to all those attending this informative session as we all learnt about the new highway code and safer ways to drive longer.
Todays event was fully booked but tickets are still available for the next in September at the Goods Shed Rushden.... we'll see you there!
Coronation Arts
We've been getting ready to celebrate King Charles III's coronation with a little arts and crafts. Our lovely ladies enjoyed a relaxing afternoon colouring crowns and flags.
Piano Performace
We all love a little 'ebony and irovy' courtesy of Chris Beahan, he's a wonderful pianist and good friend of the home.
Open Day Delights
Chef and the Claremont Parkway hospitality team excelled themselves on the café sweet treats that awaited our wonderful visitors to the Open Day on Saturday. Nothing went to waste, the cheese straws were a big hit as usual and the Biscoff cake was by far the star of the show!
Our residents have requested it become a regular on the daily afternoon tea menu. Thank you to everyone how came in the meet the team, if you were unable to make it, please feel free to book a date suitable to you.
National Earth Day
On Saturday 22nd April we celebrated Earth Day by revisiting the many David Attenborough 'Planet Earth' programs and documentaries. This years' of World Earth Day 2023 is "Invest in Our Planet".
Our residents enjoyed watching, and discussing what can be done to save the planet and if there were anyways in which we could help towards a sustainable future within the home?
Watch this space... we will certainly try to implement any new ideas.
10 Year Service for Barbara
We had the absolute pleasure of presenting Barbara Head; our wonderful Care Home Assistant Practitioner (CHAP) with her prestigious Barchester Long Service Award in celebration of working at Claremont Parkway for 10 years!
Please join us in congratulating her on achieving this amazing milestone. Barbara started within Claremont Parkway as a carer and worked progressively towards becoming a CHAP. Through hard work, dedication and training, Barbara has become a true asset to the team, committed to the care of our residents and their continued wellbeing.

She has demonstrated her dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents, year after year. Barbara is a real team player and very supportive of her colleagues a ‘sister’ to everyone, and respected by all.
