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
Mayor Visit
We had a lovely visit from the Mayor and Mayoress. Residents were very excited and had lots of things to talk about. It was great to have all of our community together in the home. Everyone was very engaging and it was a great day.
Shopping Trip
Elaine enjoyed a shopping trip to ASDA. There was lots to choose from and Elaine said that it had changed so much since she last visited. We were also getting all the decorations for our Spring Fair. It's safe to say that we came back with lots of goodies!
Church Service
Residents always enjoy a visit from St Paul's Church; they host wonderful services that bring everyone together!
Birthday Bonnet
Vera had created the most amazing Easter bonnet and had lots of fun making it, so decided wear it during her birthday celebrations.
Baking Club
We hold a regular Baking Club and, recently, we were making muffins, double chocolate cakes and cookies. Residents loved helping each other out to bake these treats for our afternoon tea.
Easter Crafts
Easter time is all about having fun! We have enjoyed many sessions of arts and crafts, creating cards, bonnets, decorations, and cakes whilst reminiscing about our past Easter celebrations. The residents have loved puzzles and quizzes related to Easter and we are excited for our Easter coffee morning to taste our yummy homemade cake!
