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
Autumnal Decor
As it is now officially Autumn we started decorating the home in an Autumn theme and it really is looking beautiful. Residents created rag wreaths and we placed acorns and leaves in a decorative display. It is nice to change our decor and the residents really enjoy working on new ideas.
Another Successful Macmillan Coffee Morning
Thank you so much to everyone who helped, donated and attended our Macmillan coffee morning we raised a fantastic £200!
Every penny we raised today will go towards helping those living with cancer receive vital medical, practical and emotional support, along with their families.
Thank you so much to local companies Bec the Bake and The Little Welsh Deli for your kind donations.

Paula and Sarah put together a broad range of activities and events for residents, but the simple things are just as important. This is a lovely photo of Paula and Des out on a walk.
Mount Pleasant Church Coffee Morning
Llys-Y-Tywysog residents are now regulars at the local Mount Pleasant Church coffee morning. We all love going down to the church to meet with local residents and volunteers. Residents enjoy a cup of tea, cake and a good chat, it is so important for us to be of the local community where so many of our residents have lived all their lives.
Knit and Natter
Whilst we needed the rain, we don't really like the rain! Llys-Y-Tywysog residents took the opportunity to sit and knit and of course natter!
Mindful Drawing and Colouring
Llys-Y-Tywysog residents enjoyed some minful drawing and colouring. Colouring is relaxing and as with all activities there is lots of chatting and tea and coffe. Arts and crafts are greatly enjoyed and we have started thinking about Christmas themed crafts!
