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.

Life at Rothsay Grange Care Home

service show nursey group 'The Nest' their brand new fire equipment and truck. The fire crew let the children sit in the truck and use some of the equipment.

The Mayoress Dr Susan Tippet and the Mayor Cllr Mark Cooper also visited the home and was very impressed of the work she did back in Holland.
Cocktails & Mocktails
Cocktail and mocktail afternoon! The residents had a fantastic time trying different cocktails and mocktails. We tried Pina Colada, Pimm's and coconut rum with coke along with many more. The residents said their favourite cocktail was Pina Colada. We listen to everyone favourite songs while having a dance around.
Party Time
Rothsay Grange loves a good ol' knees up. Dave Dawson is a regular here and we always know we are going to have a good time.
While Dave got the residents to sing along to him, Irene was busy giving out a selection of cold meats, cheese and crackers with a glass of prosecco to wash it all down with.
We all had a great afternoon as always!
Garden Photography
Residents from Rothsay Grange enjoyed an afternoon of snapping pictures within our lovely gardens.
Making Bird Boxes
Residents really enjoy watching the wildlife we have in our lovely gardens here at Rothsay Grange. They asked if they could make their own bird boxes to encourage more wildlife. So we spent a lovely afternoon, making painting and filing small wooden bird boxes for residents to hang outside their bedrooms.
Marie Rose Museum Visit
We recently had a visit from the Marie Rose Museum. They bought old artifacts from time gone by. Residents were treated to tales from the past of how these instruments may have been used and also got to touch and feel them. It really bought the afternoon to life.
