Activites at Claremont Parkway Care Home

Friday saw our residents enjoying a delightful afternoon of gentle fitness, designed to promote movement, flexibility, and well-being in a relaxed and supportive setting.

The light exercises were tailored to suite all abilities, encouraging everyone to join in at their own pace.

After working up a light appetite, residents were treated to a traditional cream tea, complete with freshly baked scones, jam and cream, served alongside a comforting cup of tea - Well it was National Cream Tea Day!

The session was filled with smiles, conversation, and a wonderful sense of community - a perfect balance of wellness and indulgence.

Today we had a very special Teddy Bears Picnic with our residents and Parent and Baby group. 

We had a joyful intergenerational get together filled with cuddly bears, picnic treats, and games as well as sharing stories across generations.

There was lots of laughter, connection, and the simple joy of spending time together, It's a wonderful opportunity to build friendships, bridge generation, and create lasting memories-for the young, the young at heart, and everyone in between.

Keeping Hydrated in a care home during hot weather is essential for both staff and residents to maintain good health and well-being.

Promoting hydration is a simple but vital part of ensuring comfort, safety, and dignity for everyone in the care home during hot weather.

Staff, residents and their families welcomed the ice filled hydration station of cold drinks on offer as the UK weather continued to soar!

Residents at Claremont Parkway were treated to a delightful afternoon of live entertainment as singer Jenny Simmonds brought warmth and joy to our residents with her heartfelt performance. 

Her soothing voice and uplifting repertoire of classic favourites and golden oldies had everyone tapping their feet, waving their hands and singing along.

A truly enjoyable afternoon was had by all.

This week our residents took part in a heart warming activity to celebrate National Flower Week by planting a vibrant array of flowers in pots to place around our home and garden.

With trowels in hand and smiles on their faces, they worked together potting blooms including marigolds and petunias.

They not only brightened the garden but also lifted spirits, offering residents a meaningful way to connect with nature and each other.

Time to applaud and show appreciation to ‘Our Wonderful Carers’

We’d like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers here at Claremont Parkway care home.

We’re proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.

As part of Carers week, General Manager Joanna gave them all a Lotto Lucky Dip and sweet sensation trolly. We hope there's a few winning tickets on the next draw. Jo commented "You're all Winners in my eyes, we're lucky to have you as part of the team here at Claremont Parkway".

During the morning we enjoyed some delicious cheese tasting before our residents and guests had a great time as they sang along to timeless classics from the wonderful Steve Jay.

Our residents love to sing along and have a little dance whether that be in their chairs or with support standing. Thank you Steve for another fabulous session.

This morning we took a trip to the fabulous Dementia Sings Out in Wellingborough, where we joined many others from across the region at their weekly sing out session. 

Residents Noelle and Barbara fancied a boogie after breakfast and to test the water before coming back to tell their fellow residents all about it! Barbara was delighted to see several familiar faces in the choir - it's wonderful how music brings people together.

From the moment we arrived the fun began with Choir Director (and Master DJ) Gareth Fuller setting the room alight with his seamless sing along songs. The choir's group of volunteers were full of smiles and endless energy to get us all up and dancing and singing throughout - whatever your ability, this group managed to find a way to help you engage in the rhythm of the day.

Back at home, our other residents were able to join in the experience too, linking in via Zoom to share in the joy and music from afar. What a fantastic way to connect our whole community to this uplifting experience!

We'll be back next week with more of our residents ready to raise the roof through the power of song.
