Activities at Llys-Y-Tywysog Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Paula Courtney
Hello I am Paula the Activities Coordinator, I have recently returned to Llys-Y-Tywysog. I worked at the home for over 5 years when my children were younger. My close connection with Llys remained as my father in law was former resident, so I was still visiting regularly. I am delighted to be back working with the team.
I am creative and hope to bring new ideas for activities and events as well as still running firm favourites! My passion is about enhancing the lives of the residents from individual time through to big celebratory events. Sarah will continue to work as part of the activities team, working alongside me part time whilst studying for her degree at Swansea University. As a team we are committed to Barchester's Life Enrichment programme ensuring we work with mind, body and soul.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Llys-Y-Tywysog Care Home
Welsh Sessions with Rhian
Today we held a lovely Welsh session with Rhian our very own Welsh Champion.
It’s important to keep Welsh Language in our home and residents love learning about the Welsh culture and singing to the Welsh songs.
Waunarlwydd Community Centre!
Today we took residents out for a cup of coffee/tea and a morning brunch at one of our local community centres.
We had a very nice welcome from all who go there. Residents loved having a conversation with the locals from the community.
Cymanfa Ganu
Today we were invited by Penyrheol Primary school https://www.penyrheolprimary.co.uk/ to watch their Cymanfa Ganu at St Catherine’s Church! Cymanfa Ganu is a unique and heart-warming event, celebrating the rich history of Loughor with the story of Evan Roberts and the Welsh religious revival.
Pupils presented a lively history lesson, singing traditional Welsh songs and narrating stories. Our residents sang along and loved every minute.
Christmas Party!
Our Christmas Party was amazing.
All the residents enjoyed a dance and a sing-a-long with our lovely Robbie-Lee who always brings joy and happiness to our residents!
We also enjoyed a beautiful buffet for all to enjoy.
Thank you to the kitchen staff for an amazing banquet of food.
Christmas Silent Disco!
Today we enjoyed yet another silent disco.
The residents enjoyed the music and sang and danced to different music to one another.
It was a fun evening for all and there were smiles and laughter all around!
Everyone had fun and enjoyed it.
Edna's Wish
Edna really wanted to go to Margam Park to see all the beautiful Christmas trees. So here at Llys-y-Tywysog, we made her wish come true.
Edna thought the trees were amazing to look at. The trees were all differently made with a different theme.
Edna was made up that we made her wish come true.
