Activities at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Claremont Parkway Care Home
Messages of Kindness
We have received many cards of thanks and kindness during this time. It is lovely to receive positive feedback from families and friends.
So a big thank you to you all!
Support Team Day
We here at Claremont Parkway decided the rest of the team needed a thank you too, so we hosted a 'Support Team Day' to give a big thank you to the kitchen team, housekeeping team, reception/admin team, the activities team and to maintenance, as they all do a fantastic job in keeping the home running.
Back to School
For Fun Friday, we have become Claremont Academy. The team dressed up in their school uniforms and even took part in a fun exam. We will have to wait and see who gets an A+. The residents have been having their activities in fun lessons, such P.E. and English.
Everyone is having fun talking about the good old school days!
A Royal Celebration
For the Queen's official birthday, Matt the Chef Manager, got all creative and made a lovely Union Jack cake and a crown cake for the residents. They thoroughly enjoyed them!
Carers Week
For Carers Week, we made a 'Wall of Thanks'. We asked the residents if they had anything that they wanted to say to the care team. The care team were very touched by the nice messages from the residents
National Biscuit Day
To celebrate National Biscuit Day, residents made Empire biscuits. We also took a biscuit poll to see which was the winning biscuit of Claremont Parkway: everyone unanimously decided it was Viennese. We also asked the question: do you think the Jaffa Cake is a biscuit or a cake? We here at Claremont Parkway have spoken: it is a biscuit.
