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
Keeping Fit with Glen
Ensuring our residents remain active is so important, an exercise class with Glen from Gfitness certainly got us all moving!
With high impact music to get the group in the mood for fun, Glen had us all concentrating on our upper arm and leg strength using resistance bands, and soft ball and net for our throwing and coordination skills.
Trees up for Christmas
In preparation for the upcoming Christmas festivities, we spent time decorating our home with colourful themed ornaments, lights and baubles.
Our residents; Una, Catherine and Toni enjoyed setting up and dressing all our community Christmas Trees. They had a lovely time chatting about their family traditions and trees
Jingle Bells with Singer 'Eiryls’
Live entertainment today came courtesy of ‘Eiryls’ with her amazing sing-along Christmas show!
She had us all singing and dancing to favourites such as; Step into Christmas, Santa Baby, Rocking around the Christmas and even Feliz Navidad.
Resident Peter loved her rendition of Fairy Tale of New York and we all shuck our sleigh bells to Let it snow, White Christmas and We wish you a Merry Christmas.
Clare Care at Christmas
On the 4th day of Christmas our residents enjoyed a good old Christmas sing-a-long with the lovely singer Clare Care who certainly got us all in the Christmas spirit!
Claremont Parkway have plenty more festive events planned between now and Santa's big day. Please see our Countdown to Christmas calendar poster for more details. Please come and be entertained at any one of our activities, enjoy a warm drink and mince pie or two with friends.
Appreciation and Birthdays
We love a celebration within Claremont Parkway and any chance to give thanks and appreciate to our amazing staff. General Manager; Katie decided to buy the hardworking team a McDonalds breakfast and we all gathered together to wish Senior Registered Nurse; Aneta a very Happy Birthday!
The beautiful birthday cake was lovingly made by the homes' Deputy Manager; Amancita (Mans). We really are one big happy family here at Claremont Parkway.
Kindness Gift from Kettering Music School
The Claremont Parkway residents and staff can’t thank Ben from Kettering Music School - ISM MUSIC Academy enough for joining us to provide a complimentary drum music workshop.
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed singing and playing along to songs such as; My Boy Lollipop, Living Doll, un Around Sue and a huge array of Christmas numbers to get us all in the festive spirit.
Una thanked Ben saying “it was nice to have someone jolly us along” and Noelle who is pictured with Ben really got into the beat!
We look forward to welcoming Ben back in the New Year and drumming up some more rhythmic notes.
