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
Unusual Visitors
We had a visit this week from The Creature Teachers - who brought along some different animal for us to look at, talk about and to hold. We had a fabulous afternoon and really enjoyed the knowledge of the handlers - they made this into a very fun and interactive afternoon!
Walk 31 miles for Dementia UK
Residents and the team are taking on the walk 31 miles for Dementia UK challenge this May. The challenge has the residents out in the garden adding their miles and the team completing some epic walks around the local Barchester homes. Our target was £500 and we have already exceeded this so thank you for all your support.
Farm visit
We had a fabulous visit from Em's Friendly Farm - they brought in Wallace the lamb and Trevor and Arnold the goats in see us. We had a fabulous time and they are certainly welcome back!
Ferndown Ukulele Strummers
We had a fabulous time being entertained by the Ferndown Ukulele Strummers for our community cafe - we had so much fun we asked for an encore!
We enjoyed tea/coffee and some lovely madeira cake freshly made as always by our lovely chef, Hayley.
Emporium Visit
We had a fabulous trip to Emporium Christchurch this week. We loved looking round, there is so many different items to look at and they envoked some great conversations and fun!
Boutique in a Bus
We brought shopping to the home with a lovely visit from "Lady B" - Boutique in a Bus.
She had some lovely outfits and the residents enjoyed their shopping experience with Lesley.
