Activities at Parley Place 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.

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Cubs Evening visit

We had a fabulous evening yesterday designing and making paper airplanes with the 8th Bournemouth Cubs. The room was filled with laughter at some of the designs and suggestions, none of the planes flew very far but we all had so much fun it really didn't matter!

Anniversary Wishes

A beautiful couple celebrating 62 years of marriage. We decorated the room with roses and hearts, Ivor greeted Jan from the lift to join him in the family room. His face says it all, so much love for each other and they have always been a solid team working through challenging times together with a smile on their faces and having each others backs. A huge Parley Place congratulations to you both and warmest congratulations on your anniversary.

Special Birthday Trip

Our lovely Patricia has spoken to us about her love of a premium afternoon tea and how she enjoys drives in the forest to see all the tall trees. She turned 96 yesterday so we arranged for her to go for an Afternoon tea in the New Forest. Collected by Limo from Parley courtesy of Douch Family Funeral Directors who supplied the car and driver for the afternoon she was transported in style to Rhinefield House Hotel enjoying the fabulous trees from the ornamental drive and arriving at the hotel to be surprised by her family waiting for her. Rhinefield House Hotel provided her a complimentary afternoon tea and treated her to a fabulous afternoon so she could celebrate as she truly deserved. Pat said "I can't believe what has been arranged for little old me, it's such a treat and I feel like the queen!"
