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
National Scrabble Day
Llys-Y-Tywysog participated in National Scrabble Day by creating personalised named cards. The primary purpose of this activity was to acknowledge the day by having fun and residents making choices on how to design their cards. Regular creativity sessions increase concentration and gives an emotional sense of achievement along with the social aspect of creating together.
Ladies Day at Aintree
Llys-Y-Tywysog celebrating Ladies Day at Aintree races. In the morning, our ladies enjoyed a Beauty Therapy session in our salon. In the afternoon, they proudly wore their fascinators, bet on a few horses and won chocolates. Homemade jam and cream scones were served, complimented by a glass of Pimm's and fresh strawberries. As you can see the team also joined in with the day's events.
National Coffee Cake Day
National Coffee Cake Day was celebrated on April 7th. We baked a delicious coffee and walnut cake which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Along with the coffee cake we also enjoyed a variety of beers, the Hobgoblin went down particularly well. It really has been a week of treats and enjoyment here at Llys-Y-Tywysog.
Home Made Pizzas
Llys-Y-Tywysog finished the Easter weekend celebrations with making home made pizzas. Residents enjoyed creating their own tasty meals, there was an array of colourful foods to choose from as well as a selection of different cheeses. It was a really enjoyable treat, pizza followed by the remaining Easter chocolate!
Spring Flower Arrangements
Residents enjoyed creating spring flower arrangements and decorating the table for our special Easter Welsh lamb roast lunch. The arrangements looked beautiful adding to what was such a special weekend at Llys-Y-Tywysog.
Easter Bunny visits Llys-Y-Tywysog
There were special deliveries from a very special visitor at Llys-Y-Tywysog this weekend. Residents joined in the fun with lots of smiles as the Easter bunny delivered an Easter egg to every resident. It really did make us all smile especially as it was a masked bunny! After all the excitement residents enjoyed a traditional Welsh lamb roast lunch and settled down to enjoy a film in the afternoon.
