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
Armed Forces Day
We celebrated by telling stories, doing arts and crafts and also had a special trip to Blackpool Football Club for their Armed Forces memory Tour. The day was amazing; we had a full tour of the football ground and each department had a story relating to the armed forces. Peter himself was in the forces and is a huge fan of football. He really enjoyed reminiscing and listening to all the stories that were shared.
Employee of the Month - june
Our RMN, Penny Bainbridge, won June's Employee of the Month award. We have thanked her for all her hard work and for always supporting others. Ee received a lot of relatives' votes for Penny, explaining how much of an amazing job she does. Well done!
Football Fever
We have been celebrating the World Cup here at Glenroyd. We've been watching all the games with refreshments. It brings everyone together; we have a lot of football fans, so it really is amazing when we all get together to enjoy the game together.
Stanley Park
We enjoyed a trip to the beautiful Stanley Park. We had a walk around all the flower gardens and the lake. Resident, Harold, used to work at Stanley Park, so it brought back a lot of memories for him.
Fairhaven Lake
We enjoyed a trip out to Fairhaven Lake in Lytham St Annes. We spent time enjoying the lovely sunshine on the beach, which was followed by fish and chips at the beach café,
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!
