Activities at Glenroyd Care Home

Here at the Glenroyd our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. Everyone is different and gets pleasure from different things and here at Glenroyd we understand that and therefore try to provide a programme of activity that is tailored to individuals needs. We do this by gathering information and life history work and using that information to feed into our activities schedule. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Agata Prendota

Activities Coordinator

Hi, my name is Agata Prendota and I am the activities coordinator here at Glenroyd. I have worked at Glenroyd since 2014 and in April 2022 transferred to activities. I developed a strong relationship with many of our residents and their families. This has helped me to create a tailored activities program focused on maximizing everyone’s wellbeing, independence, and social engagement.

It is my goal to create a stimulating environment that enables to provide imaginative, fun, and motivational activities that suit every interest and ability. My infectious enthusiasm and creative approach are the key to inspire our residents and staff to get involved in activities both within the home and in the local community.

I am passionate about my role and especially the challenge of coming up with new ways to engage as many residents as possible in daily activities.

Roald Dhal Day

We all celebrated Roald Dhal day here at Glenroyd and our activities coordinators surprised everyone by dressing up like oompa loompas which they all enjoyed.

The day continues with a reminiscing show by jimmy O’Donnell. It was an amazing day for everyone.

Afternoon Tea

We had a trip to Stanley Park on a sunny day to enjoy an afternoon tea in the famous park art deco café. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful views and the fresh air. It was a priceless experience.

A Royal Treat

We all enjoyed a trip out to the Preston Royal Infantry, where we explored the history of the war times. It brought back a lot of memories; it was a fabulous day out full of knowledge.

Fitness Class

We have enjoyed a fitness class, which involved different exercise games including, boxing and resistant bands. All residents were laughing and having fun, it’s safe to say we all got a well-deserved break after the fitness class.

Glenroyd Graduation

We had another Glenroyd graduation for the children that come to visit us weekly from Meadow kindergarten. We presented all of them with a memory book, which was especially created for all the memories throughout the year. Harold one of our residents' ambassador presented each one of the kids with a medal and certificates.

Back in Time

We enjoyed a reminiscence session by Jimmy O’Donnell. He spoke about the history of Easter; we always enjoy these sessions and have a singalong at the end. There's lots of joy and laughter!
