Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home

From the stripes, squiggles, swirls of Comb Art to the abstraction art of 'Wassily Kandinsky' are residents are always up to learn something new and experiment with colourful paints and varying techniques. The sense of achievement on producing a new piece of artwork is clear on their smiling faces.

Please join us in welcoming 'Mary Heyward' to the Claremont team as our newly appointed Resident Ambassador. Nominated by her fellow residents as spokesperson for the communities, Mary has lived here since July 2023 and knows the staff really well. She enjoys attending activities and looks forward to being the liaison point between her fellow residents and the Management team.

Mary is a proud mother of two, has 6 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren! She enjoys all sports particularly Rugby and Tennis, when the weather is good you’ll no doubt find her in the garden enjoying the wildlife and flowers.

Honing our fine motor skills through discussion, decision making and reminiscence is not only a great reason for get together over tea and cake, but when Karen organises the session our residents managed to have fun planning for a picnic; what would they need, where would they go, and what would they eat etc.?

This months armchair travel came courtesy of Senior Registered Nurse; Aneta from Poland.

She prepared an informative session for our residents along with an array of Polish sweet and savoury delicacies for them to sample. Aneta showcased a documentary on the 'points of interests' in Poland and spoke about the area she and her family come from.

Our residents all agreed they would like to visit Poland and certainly try more of the lovely local food!

Thank you Aneta for going the extra mile for our residents.

General Manager Jacob had a wonderful time meeting so many form the local community at the Kettering Cake 2 event. Listening to Discover Craft, Lakelands Fundraising, Read Easy Corby & Kettering and Shine Arts & Well Being tell us about the amazing things they do to help others.

We look forward to working with many of the crafting businesses and finding ways to support the other amazing charitable organisations. 

Animals come in all sizes and being able to care, and caress them helps release endorphins that produce a calming effect. This week residents, and good friends; Mari and Phyllis had a wonderful time taking tea together whilst getting to know our visiting Pet Therapy guinea pig.
