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
Miss Millie
Miss Millie, a PAT dog, came to visit our residents we all had a cuddle and fed her some cheese. Miss Millie is a poodle and she is only 1 and half years old and she loves her job.
Miss Millie especially loves to be cuddled and loves to give kisses. She will do anything for some cheese.
Big Sing Concert
Rothsay Grange welcomed 2 local assisted living homes and a local vocal teacher for a one-off concert. Everyone had a fabulous afternoon singing songs and learning some new ones too. The Mayor and his wife joined us and sung their hearts out as well.
Lola the Pearly Queen
We had the wonderful 'Lola the Pearly Queen. We had a sing along and then we had some delicious homemade cakes. Lola had made us all balloons animals, which the residents loved.
The Magic Table
We are delighted to announce that we have just had a Magic Table installed, which is an interactive light projector, designed to support residents living with dementia by keeping them engaged through specialised games.
The light projections respond to hand and arm movement, promoting movement, allowing residents to stay stimulated and, most of all, have fun!

Community Day
Rothsay Grange got the whole community involved for a day in the gardens. The Co-op, Wyevale Garden Centre, the local school and even the Mayor all came together to help turn part of the garden into a sensory area for residents. They even found time to paint the furniture! Our resident Music Therapist joined in with her guitar and everyone had a sing along to round off the afternoon.
Pancake Day
The kids from Kimpton Primary School went flipping crazy with residents on Shrove Tuesday.
