Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home

Following the heartwarming success of our first intergenerational playgroup at Claremont Parkway care home, we're delighted to invite more local parents and their little ones to join us next month.

The introductory session, held on January 8th, created magical moments as babies and residents came together for music, games, and activities in our welcoming residential lounge. Our dedicated team, led by Activities Coordinator Karen Whitney, ensured a warm and nurturing environment where connections flourished across generations.

"Watching the residents' faces light up when the babies arrived was priceless," says General Manager Joanna Mosses. 

"We understand that parenthood can sometimes feel isolating, which is why we've created this special space where parents can meet, share experiences, and watch their little ones bring joy to our residents."

One delighted mother shared: “The new parent and baby group was amazing. Karen worked really hard to make sure that there was something for all the babies to do and the mums were comfortable (only mums attended this week) she ensured service user engagement which they really seemed to enjoy. Even taking some of the babies to the rooms of residents that were not mobile. A great group and I will definitely bring my baby again. Well done Karen and the team!” [Extract from 5* Google Review]

Here at Claremont Parkway we had a fantastic Christmas Day, with family visits followed by a beautiful festive lunch with turkey, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, puddings and cakes.  

In the morning we welcomed Father Christmas and his elves from the North Pole, who brought gifts to all our residents - everyone was busy opening their presents and getting ready before the festive feast, prepared by our talented chef and kitchen team.

After lunch, we tuned in to watch and listen to the King's speech. Our day was filled with joy, smiles, music and laughter.
We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! 

The week leading up to Christmas day at Claremont Parkway was an extremely busy one. With entertainment provided by the Stanwick hand bell ringers, live entertainment from Steve Jay vocalist, with a brief visit from Santa! 

For the residents Christmas party we had a lovely performance from Pauline Vallance playing the harp, we also had time to make some wonderful table centre pieces to display on the tables for Christmas day meal. 

The residents have sang, danced and decorated the home beautifully all ready for the big day! 

Residents and staff at Claremont Parkway, dressed in pyjamas for the day which certainly raised a few eyebrows, however the residents thoroughly enjoyed seeing the staff walking around the home in their comfy pj's.

On Saturday residents at Claremont were treated to the Trinity Singers, who once again gave a wonderful performance which residents sang along to. With a selection of Christmas songs that gave us all so much joy. We certainly enjoy welcoming the Trinity singers to our home, and we look forward to seeing them again in the new year.

From all at Claremont Parkway, we thank you for making our Saturday afternoon so very special.
