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
Getting Olympic Ready
Claremont Parkway are getting fit for the up and coming Olympics with a little target practice. Everyone agreed, it's lovely to get out in the garden and have some fun in the summer sun. Providing a variety of life enrichment activities for our residents mind, body and soul is our aim at Claremont Parkway.
Digging for Dinosaurs!
This week our residents had fun becoming archaeologists. Using a small chisel and brush to dig into each 'fossilised' egg they gradually revealed a unique mini dinosaur inside. Every little dinosaur came with a matching information card that the group could use to find out all the interesting facts about the real dinosaur that once walked this planet.
During the activity resident; Mollie spoke about her time going along to an archeological dig in Pychley.
Pampered Pooch
This little pampered pooch was visiting another resident at Claremont Parkway when she was snaffled by Phyllis... definitely puppy love at first sight!
Aqua Art
Art of any form can help focus the mind, improve concentration and calms moods. The sense of achievement our residents enjoy is clear as they brush clear water over the aqua art sheets to reveal the hidden images below.
Champagne Enterprises
Music for mind, body and soul from 'Champagne Enterprises' with renditions of Sweet Caroline to Under the Moon of Love, our residents had a good old sing-a-long with this dynamic duo.

Friend's Reunited
Claremont Parkway resident; Vera Prudeaux has resided with us since May 2020. She's such a gracious lady, full of stories from her days as part of the Salvation Army. On updating her 'getting to know me' booklet, Activities Coordinator; Karen found lots of information out about Vera's much loved Wellingborough Salvation Army community and made it her mission to contact them.
Today, Wednesday 3rd July Vera's dream of meeting her ex group colleagues came true with a visit from friend Marion, and Wellingborough unit Captain; Alison Chapman.
The ladies had a wonderful time sat in the homes sunny conservatory reminiscing over tea and cake. It was such a special reunion, Vera was full of smiles recalling her time within the Salvation Army with pride.
Now the friends are reunited, Captain Alison has agreed to visit again alongside the band to do a performance for all at Claremont Parkway. We can't wait to welcome more of this wonderful community.
Thank you ladies for making Vera's day.
