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
Mark Way School Pupils Serve up Tea-time Treats!
A huge thank you to the pupils and accompanying teachers from The Mark Way School who visited us yesterday afternoon and brought with them a whole array of tea-time treats and goodies courtesy of their local Asda. Before setting out to deliver their goodies and meet the residents they laid out everything and made the tea ready to do the rounds. Residents loved meeting the pupils and having a chat and they in turn said that they had a really nice time visiting and had lots to talk about and take back with them to the classroom. It was a lovely busy afternoon and who doesn't enjoy something special for tea accompanied by a chat - perfect!
Marking Remembrance Weekend with Song
Rothsay played host to an afternoon of song from D-Day Dolly who treated us to a selection of all the familiar war-time favourites that are so evocative and loved. Dolly got everyone singing along including family members and friends and the afternoon was completed with a lovely tea. Seeing Dolly in her uniform prompted lots of chat and reminiscence and it was the perfect way to start the Remembrance weekend. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped to make the afternoon go with a swing.
Live Entertainment at Rothsay Grange
We like to have a good mixture of musical singers into entertain our residents this month we had Kathy’s choir in to perform for us.
The residents said how nice it was to hear our piano being played and how well Kathy’s choir performed.
Rita said they were very good.
We will have them back in on 15th December at 2:30pm if you would like to join us.
A Donation for The Dogs Trust
In the afternoon of the 4th we took some cat and dog toys, blankets and food to the dogs trust.
We were able to have a walk around to see the dogs that are waiting for forever homes.
John was over the moon to be able to meet some of them and help with giving the goods to the staff.
It was a wonderful afternoon and the staff were very helpful.
We would like to thank all the people that helped with the collection.
Mystery Trip
Fun was had on the bus trip on 4th September. The residents were treated to a trip to see the wonders of Autumn. As they travelled around we come across this little hedge row witch, if you look closely she is holding an apple! The residents had fun naming her and we all had a game of what the witch was waiting for.
Irene’s perfect day
Dream come true. Irene said her perfect day would be to go into town, feed the ducks and have a cup of tea with friends so we gave Irene her perfect day! We had a mooch around some shops. We all reminisced about how the shops have changed, in Rita’s and Irene’s younger years they had to go to multiple shops to get everything they needed but now we can just go to one shop and get what we need.
