Activities at Rothsay Grange Care Home
The activities coordinators at Rothsay Grange work 7 days a week to ensure there is a variety of planned group and one to one activities to suit all individual needs. The activities consist of weekly running activities such as chair zumba, Music therapy, an Arts club and many more. We also run a weekly minibus trip to local places of interest giving everyone a chance to have a trip out of the home.
Rothsay Grange also knows how to have a good old tea party alongside some fantastic entertainers and productions that visit the home on a regular basis. Irene and Aimee feel its very important to have the residents that live here to have a fun and fulfilled life and encourage them to attend as many activities as they wish.
Irene & Leah
Irene and Leah have been working together since 2019, and thoroughly enjoy planning and providing activities for our residents. They are a great team and always bring joy and fun to wherever they are in the home.
Leah has worked at Rothsay since she was 16, as an apprentice carer, and has worked her way into a position that she loves.
Irene has many years’ experience in working with vulnerable adults and children, and also started working here as a care assistant several years ago, before moving on to senior carer and then into the activities coordinator role.
Both love seeing the way that residents' lives are enriched with the activities they provide, and love interacting with all the residents in our care.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Rothsay Grange Care Home
Cuddly Cavies
On the 5th day of Christmas Rothsay Grange, we brought in 17 little guinea pigs from Hana.
They all seemed to enjoy all the cuddles and extra snacks!
Both staff and residents enjoyed the time spent giving then cuddles or grooming them.
They come dressed in little Santa jumpers or hats, they did not seem to mind.
Hana comes to Rothsay Grange once a month with three of her piggys, so if your wanting to find out more, please come along and join us we would love to see you.
Kathy's Choir
On the twelfth day of Christmas, we had Kathy’s choir in to sing traditional carols for us.
It was great fun, the residents enjoyed singing along to well-known songs.
Our residents are having such a busy month and we are only 12 days into to December.
Linneies Pop Up Shop
On the 19th day of Christmas Rothsay Grange welcomed Linnies pop up shop.
The residents loved having a look at all her party clothing and everything sparkled brightly.
A few of the residents got new things to wear for Christmas day, so they will be in a party mood.
We had lots of warmed mince pies and mulled spicy wine.
Remembrance Sunday
Remembrance Sunday is a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
During the day, our residents enjoyed putting a remembrance display together, which turned out beautifully.
We enjoyed a special church service to honour veterans and armed forces members who have died in the line of duty and we read some war poems. Residents laid a poppy wreath at their local Cenotaph at St Mary’s Church.
It was a lovely day of remembrance, enjoyed by all.
Cinema Trip
We are on the road again… to the cinema!
Irene and Deana wanted a girly day out to the cinema, so we made it happen.
We had lunch out and then went to watch Paddington in Peru, we had popcorn, chocolate and tea.
Irene and Deana both said that ‘this is the best day they have had in a long time’!
