Activities at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home
At Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home, our Lifestyle/Activities staff endeavour to provide a wide range of activities that suit all residents' physical and mental needs. There are regular minibus trips to nearby places of interest, including visits to local beaches and shows. We also have a film club, gentlemen's club, arts and crafts club, with musical entertainment once a week. Activities are very important to the staff of Plas-Y-Dderwen, making the home a fun and active place for all the residents who live here.
Lisa Peart
Hello, I am Lisa and I have recently joined the team at Plas y Dderwen. I have worked in the care sector since 2009 and I have a passion for working with people.
Although I am new to this role, I have always enjoyed being creative and bringing a smile and a sense of joy to others.
I am looking forward to developing an Activities programme that will bring enrichment to residents' lives through meaningful Activities.

National Nestbox Week
We had a busy week for National Nestbox Week, creating our own tree collage with our favourite types of winter birds.
National Storytelling Week
As part of National Storytelling Week residents and staff were given the opportunity to hear a reading of a book written by one of our very own residents and it even made it into the local paper.
Valentine's Day
Residents enjoyed creating a collage for Valentine's Day sharing the love amongst themselves and staff members. We all had a lovely day.
Carol concert
The residents and staff were treated to a large glass of Christmas spirits this month by some of Carmarthenshire’s fantastic Choirs
Decorating the cake
This year the residents decided that they would like to make and decorate their own Christmas cake. After adding a devilish amount of brandy and baking the cake the real work began and I think you’ll agree the end result looks fantastic.
