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
Pub Lunch
We enjoyed a trip out to our local pub, The Belle Vue, for a relaxing drink and some yummy lunch. It was very nice to get out for the afternoon and enjoy some good food with even better company.
Our Newest Residents
We had talks about getting a home pet, and we came to a decision that two little love birds would be perfect for us all. We held a naming ceremony, which entailed lots of laughter after we all wrote down names and picked them out of a hat. Welcome to your new home, Tweetie-Pie and Roger.
Cheese & Wine All Round
We had another successful cheese & wine evening. Everyone really enjoyed trying the different varieties of cheeses that were available. The event went down a treat!
Christmas Card Making
We have all been very busy making our homemade Christmas cards to send out to all our loves ones over the festive period.
Musical Magic
We enjoyed a wartime singalong, which brought back a lot of memories for residents, and was very enjoyable.
Chistmas Baking
We had so much fun creating our Christmas cake for the Barchester Christmas Cake Competition. Creating and cutting out all the individual decorations was the best part, and we could not be more proud of our creation.
