Activities at Parley Place Care Home
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.
Brian Ramsay
I love being a friendly face for our residents. A day in their lives should be filled with the care they deserve and enriched with activities. We embrace each and every moment and make memories, I have many skills and a passion to provide our residents with the social interactions, lots of activities, smiles, laughter and fun.

Life at Parley Place Care Home
International Flower Day
For international flower day we spent the morning doing some flower arranging for our dining room tables. We spent the afternoon doing a quiz with our community - all themed around flowers.
Cooking Club
Cooking club choice was mint cheesecakes this week - we had great fun making them and even more fun eating them afterwards!
Christmas Day
We had a lovely visit from Father Christmas and his elf on Christmas day, delivering presents to all our residents.
Virtual Sing-a-long and Jumper Day
We had a fabulous time for Christmas jumper day with a virtual sing -a-long from Dan at Biiah - everyone was in fine voice and the jumpers looked great.
Theatre trip
Having been a lover of the theatre but not gone for 30 years, Brian our activity co-ordinator made a special trip for Iris so she could see the pantomime. She had a fabulous time, with a large sherry in the interval. She was over the moon when the cast mentioned her name.
Gingerbread House Day
We set to work creating our wonderful Gingerbread House with assistance from our Chef, all our sister homes will also be making their own versions and we are all in competition to see who has the best. We think ours looks fabulous.
