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.

Acting Activities Coordinator

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.

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!

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.

Natalie Maxwell, General Manager of Claremont Parkway said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 10 years of loyal service with Barbara. 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.

We hope she takes time for herself to enjoy the chocolates, flowers and enjoys spending the voucher. I, and the team at Claremont Parkway look forward to many more years of working with Barbara.”
