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
'Pass the Pig'
Our residents love trying something new and this inflatable 'Pass The Pig' game certainly had the room full of laughter as each pigs flew across the room!
Crafting a Flower Collage
Monday's Arts & Crafts saw our residents create a beautiful flower collage. They enjoyed selecting the images and placing them to make up the finished artwork. Working together on such a project gave them time to reminisce about the gardens they used to have, and what type of flowers are their favourites. Art can help improve well-being, confidence and self-esteem.
Happy Birthday 'Vera'
Please join us in saying a very 'Happy 98th Birthday' to vivacious resident 'Vera' we hope you've had the happiest of birthday's lovely lady.
Yorkshire Day
'Eeh bah gum' it were a fine day as our residents enjoyed all things Yorkshire on 1st August in celebration of Yorkshire Day.
We started with a rendition of Ilkley Moor Bar Tat and Karen told us a host of facts about Yorkshire as we sampled Parkin Cake with a fresh 'brew' of Yorkshire Tea in the garden. Chef and the homes hospitality team topped the day by serving a roast lunch with traditional Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy!

Teddy Bears Picnic
What happens when you go down to the woods today... in National Picnic Week!
Our residents had a lovely afternoon being visited by the children from Busy Bees Childcare for a Teddy Bears picnic in the Claremont Parkway gardens.
Each child arrived with a cuddly toy in hand and story to tell! We played games and sang many songs, including; 'Wake up Mr Bear' and 'Ring a Ring o' Roses' before going on a Bear hunt followed by refreshments.
As Friday was also the start of the Paris Olympics, the children, led by resident Bronwen helped us carry our very own Olympic torch and light the Olympic flame in readiness for the homes 'week of Olympic sports'.
