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
Visitor Smiles
Family visits always make us all smile, it is so special when grandchildren come to Llys-Y-Tywysog. Our visitor pod has enabled families to see each other even throughout the latest restrictions. Barchester's online booking system also means visits are quick and easy to book.
Thank You Cake
The family of a former resident have dropped in this beautiful cake to thank the staff for the care they provided. The team are very grateful for this kind gesture, everyone loves working at Llys-Y-Tywysog and such a kind act of appreciation is so thoughtful.
Jigsaw Crafts
When we think of jigsaws and what we do with them most us would think only of creating the puzzle. The imaginative activities team at Llys-Y-Tywysog certainly have thought outside of the box by working with the residents to create beautiful pictures.
Spring Planting
Spring is very much on the way with lighter nights and a glorious blue sky today. Llys-Y-Tywysog residents really enjoyed being outside in the sun, planting pots and hanging baskets to bring colour to the outside of the home. We talked about how much they enjoyed gardening and how it was nice to be able to give their input into our garden areas. We look forward to lots more gardening over the next few months.
St David's Day Celebrations
Happy St David's Day from everyone at Llys-Y-Tywysog. We have all enjoyed celebrating, starting this morning with a traditional Welsh breakfast. Residents all got involved in making Welsh Cakes which were enjoyed with Welsh Cream Liquor whilst watching SC4 marking the day including singing from the Welsh choirs. It has been a very special day, and also very busy with some Welsh themed crafts as well. Still to come this evening residents will have the opportunity to enjoy Wales in Harmony.
Happy Reunion
Residents Lola and John at Llys-Y-Tywysog were overjoyed to not only to reunite with each other, but also to be able to see their daughter Lynette together. Lola and John have been unable to see each other since November due to John being in hospital and Lola becoming a resident at Llys-Y-Tywysog. There were tears of happiness as Lola and John were reunited as they have now both become residents at Llys-Y-Tywysog, they can now be together again. Lynette is also now able to see both her parents, everyone at Llys-Y-Tywysog felt privileged to share this special reunion.
