Activites 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

Activities Coordinators

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.

Sensory activities

Our residents had so much fun using their senses to take part in the “Guess That Smell” activity - a sensory challenge filled with laughter and curiosity from fresh herbs to fruity scents. 

Everyone was eager to test their noses and share memories linked to familiar aromas. Residents also explored their senses through contact with our new fidget items that have been kindly donated by a member of the public.

Rusty's Birthday Meal

Here at Rothsay Grange we love to mark the milestones of our residents. Birthdays are important not only to the person but to family and friends. Rusty had his 99th birthday this month. As always we like to give a special meal for that one person on their birthday.

Here you can see our head chef Raff cooking up a storm in the kitchen getting Rusty’ s steak cooked the way he wanted. 

Both Jackie and Deana watched as he tucked into it. The afternoon was spent with family and friends over tea and cake.

Wellbeing, or is it puppy love?

Wellbeing, or is it puppy love?

The wellbeing of our residents are high on the list at Rothsay Grange, our manager, Roxana Davis, wanted to give something to her staff too, as our wellbeing is important too. So we all had a week of fun and laughter.

We have been dressing up, playing games and cuddling puppies! Roxana was only too please to was invite some beautiful puppies into the home for us all to fall in love with. One of our bank nurses dedicates her time by fostering dogs and puppies alongside the dogs trust.

These poor wee souls have had a rubbish start in life by loosening not only their mum but two sisters too!
We all loved seeing them and I will say we all wanted to take them home. The residents loved finding out about them even though it was sad they are living the high life now, with so much love.

Easter Fun!

Easter Fun!

We all had a great week of Easter fun, baking, dressing up, egg hunt with a twist, egg and spoon race to name a few.

Staff and residents had fun for Easter. Singer, Dave Dawson, gave us his best with our Easter show getting everyone up and dancing and singing. We had a bake off even the residents had a go, I think they enjoyed eating the goodies more than baking them.

The staff and residents wished everyone a happy Easter in different languages some their own tongue. It was fun watching them take part in trying to say the words everyone had ago.

It’s fun all the way at Rothsay Grange. Something is always happening. Please feel free to call in for a chat and a look around anytime.

It has been Nutrition and Hydration week since the 17th March.

Our staff and residents have been treated to treat trolleys with lots of chocolates and cakes, a fruit trolley where the chef Raff made up a lovely platter of mixed fruit.

We all had a go at making our own smoothies, and we made cupcakes for all the residents. A very busy week had by all. June said she had a great time making the smoothies, and they all tasted so very nice.

One of our residents, Jean, said she was amazed at the size of the snake and I held it! We found out lots about each animal too! A great afternoon had by all. Thank you Zoo Lab.
