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.

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.

A Special Guest
One Resident at Plas-Y-Dderwen has always supported Swansea City FC since he was in his youth. Whenever he had the opportunity to support Swansea, his enthusiasm was always astounding. All the residents were amazed when ex-Swansea City player and Ambassador for the club, Lee Trundle, called in to say hello.
