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.

Dancing with Dementia

We attended the ‘Dancing with Dementia’ event at the Blackpool Winter Gardens. It was an absolute joy to be able to share this with 25 of our residents. We all had such an amazing day, making lots of new friends and dancing until we couldn’t anymore. Everyone had a brilliant day!

Cupcake Day

We enjoyed celebrating National Cupcake Day to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Many families baked cakes and brought them in to share with us! It's safe to say that we were very full by the end of the day.
