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
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.

Life at Glenroyd Care Home
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!
Sunshine Singalong
We enjoyed some live musical entertainment in the sun. Everyone loved singing along!
Balloons Galore
We enjoyed doing some balloon modelling with the children from our local nursery. The bond is very beautiful between them and it brings them all lots of joy.
Penny Farm
We had a lovely trip to Penny Farm, a horse sanctuary that takes care of different horses from different backgrounds and offers them rehabilitation to ensure that they have the best quality of life possible. We enjoyed learning about and seeing all the different horses and ponies and having a stroll around the fields.
Chocolate Galore
We enjoyed a baking some chocolate chip cookies, chocolate brownies and Smarties cookies, which took a lot of concentration. After all the baking. it was lovely to be able to relax and enjoy all the goodies we made.
