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.

Flower Arranging

We enjoyed a flower arranging session, where we made 6 flower vases. It's a very peaceful activity to take part in and everyone had a lot of fun creating their own personalised displays.

Zoolab Returns

We enjoyed another visit from Zoolab; the animals never fail to entertain us and we always learn a lot. Even though creepy-crawlies are not everyone's thing, we enjoyed learning about them all the same.

Cheese & Wine Evening

We really enjoyed exploring different cheeses and various wines. It's one of the most popular activities here at Glenroyd.

Live Entertainment

We enjoyed a relaxing Friday night whilst the weather was against us with a lovely performance from Déjà, who never fails to get everyone singing and tapping along to all the songs.

Garden Centre Visit

We enjoyed a trip out to Dobbies Garden Centre and had a look around all the flower gardens and all the outdoor houses. We also had a picnic in the outdoor area, as the weather was perfect outside.

Eyes Down

We host regular bingo games each week, which everyone loves. Resident, Harold, said he was the ‘Bingo King’, as he won 3 times in a row. We always have such a great time during bingo sessions.
