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.

Life at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home
Eyes Down
Bingo is a firm favourite when it comes to activities here at Plas-Y-Dderwen, so when we had the chance to enjoy a garden party with tea and cakes as well as a few games of Bingo, everyone here was ‘eyes down for a full house’.
Pet Therapy
We were so happy to welcome back our smallest little member of the Plas-Y-Dderwen family, Lil Bug.
Saying Farewell
Staff and residents were overjoyed to have been able to celebrate the continued journey of one of our own this month. Although we are all sad to see her go, this wonderful lady has worked had to improve her mobility so that she no longer needs our specialist care and can now live more independently closer to her family. We spent the day sharing our fondest memories to cries of laughter with many tears shed at the thought of a friend we’ll miss.
Summer Fête
Residents and staff were treated to all the fun of the fair. There was a raffle, with prizes kindly donated by the local businesses and live entertainment to end the day.
National Beer Day
National Beer Day could only be celebrated here at Plas-Y-Dderwen soas long as we could create our own bar with realistic sound effects. A selection of beers and real ales were sampled and enjoyed by our residents and the competition was stiff as to which was the best beer of the lot.
Royal Celebrations
Spirits were high this week as we joined in the celebrations for her majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s 95th birthday. Flags were being waved as we watched the trooping of the colours and then we went on to bake and decorate our own little birthday cakes that we happily ate in the absence of her majesty.
