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
Coffee & Cake at Beckworth For Christmas
Regular outings are just one aspect of our life enrichment program and all the trips we take are at the request of the residents. Earlier this week our residents took a little trip to the beautiful Beckworth Emporium in Northampton.
This time of year it’s full of winter wonder and festive cheer!
Our Divisional Activities Lead; Hannah Boscott drove the minibus, accompanied by Coordinator Karen, assisting residents; Mollie, Noelle and Peter.
Beckworth Emporium has something for everyone, we perused every department, from seasonal plants to garden ornaments, the food hall and Christmas gifts. We all adored the various festive displays, particularly Karen when she found the huge robotic singing penguins ... as these are favourite animals!
It was lovely to spend time with Peter’s wife who joined us for a coffee and a stroll round, it brought back many happy memories for the couple, as living close by, the Emporium was one of their beloved places to escape and relax together in the past.
Christmas Spirit for Song
One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment. Resident involvement in choosing genres along with feedback after each performance means that we are able to constantly improve our activities calendar.
The lovely singing duo Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer and Katie Rose Vocalist always hit the right note with the residents and staff at Claremont Parkway. Residents; Noelle and Mari have made a great friendship since being at the home, and love to sing along with the ladies, and Iris and her ‘baby girl’ enjoyed a sway with Senior Carer Chloe as the two singers worked the crowd.
Employee of the Month - October
Claremont Parkway care home residents and colleagues wish to congratulate Senior Care Assistant; Keyleigh Johnson on receiving Employee of the Month for October 2024.
Keyleigh has been nominated for her supportive nature of all our residents, colleagues and peers, she is always kind and caring, and consistently goes that extra mile.
General Manager; Katie Wilkinson said "Keyleigh has a passion for care and loved by all our residents. We all hope she enjoys spending the £25 voucher on something special for herself. Keep up the good work and dedication to your Claremont family."
Happy Birthday 'Marigold'
From all of us at Claremont Parkway, Happy Birthday to our lovely resident Marigold, who enjoyed her special day with all of us. Marigold was so happy to receive her delicious homemade cake, beautifully decorated by our home chefs. Marigold had happy birthday sang to her while being presented with her cake.
We hope you had a fabulous day Marigold.
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Sunday is a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
During the week, our residents enjoyed putting a remembrance display together, decorated with their own handmade poppies and placing remembrance crosses on a silhouette of the unnamed soldier for family members lost to war.
On Sunday we sat together to watch the Cenotaph wreath laying and on Monday 11th we took time to remember in silence at 11:11 in honour of all who have died in the line of duty.
Little Witches bring Happy Spells
Here at Claremont Parkway we enjoyed getting in the Halloween spirit with squash decoration, and a visit from some of the cutest little witches who were visiting their granddad; Melvyn who went around the home casting good luck spells for everyone to have a spooktacular time together!
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
