Activities at Llys-Y-Tywysog Care Home
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.

Life at Llys-Y-Tywysog Care Home
Celebrating Barchester's 30 Years of Care with a Mascaraed Ball
Llys-Y-Tywysog residents and staff celebrated Barchester’s 30 years of care in style with a Mascaraed Ball. The home was beautifully decorated with a special menu to mark the occasion. The team and residents looked great in their masks and after the delicious meal enjoyed entertainment from The Mark Jermin Stage School whose singers were amazing. We were delighted so many family and friends could join us.
Thank you so much to the team here at Llys-Y-Tywysog who really do go the extra mile to made these events so successful.
