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
Kath’s 100th Birthday Celebrations
Llys-Y-Tywysog’s third 100th Birthday of the year! Kathleen Freeman has been in the home for many years and is well known in the community. It was lovely to see so many family and friends joining the Birthday celebration on Easter Monday. Darren the saxophonist performed and got everyone dancing and singing along! What a lovely special day we had for such a wonderful mile stone.
Good Friday service at local Chapel
On Good Friday we had 20 residents and relatives from Llys attend the Good Friday church service at our local, Mt. Pleasant Church. As you may already know, the ministers provide an evening of Christian fellowship every Wednesday at 6pm, and a church service every Sunday at 2pm at Llys-Y-Tywysog. Additionally, we bring our residents to the coffee mornings held at the church fortnightly on Fridays. We are so grateful for this community connection
