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
Personalising Rooms
The residents enjoy the craft classes in the home. They have been busy making colourful personalised door initials.
Smile Board
We’ve had lots of lovely letters from the community and relatives. We’ve received postcards and pictures from other care homes and children in the community.
Hat Party
The residents love spending time in the sunshine out in the garden, and love it even more in special hats!
Keeping In Touch
It is important to stay in touch with family members during this unprecedented time. Some of the residents sent lovely handwritten messages to their loved ones, which brings them happiness.
Baking Class
Residents at Llys-Y-Tywysog enjoy a baking class every week. It’s a good way to interact with one another and it’s also a good way to use their cognitive skills by choosing the recipe, selecting the correct ingredients and tools to use.
Flower Power
Residents enjoyed creating a flower collage. They used different coloured felt for the flowers and cut out pretty card, then finished by adding some pretty jewels to the flowers. They were then displayed around the home for everyone to see.
