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.

Christmas Time at Glenroyd
We have been so busy this festive season with lots of Christmassy activities going on!
We have all enjoyed a massive Christmas party with a special performance from Kerry’s Christmas Show and a buffet to follow.
We have been spending time creating our own Christmas decorations and Christmas cards for the units.
We have enjoyed various activities, such a cheese tasting, light exercise, interactive fun on the Wii, cake and biscuit making/decorating; and, of course, lots of fun with our fabulous entertainers.
We are now planning and preparing for the new year and are excited to see what it brings.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone!
