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
Music Man
On 7th August 2018, Paul Nickolas entertained the residents at Rothsay Grange. This time, Paul sang a lot of new songs that we had not heard before. He also did a great mixture of sing along songs. Paul is able to sing a good variety of songs, and we look forward in welcoming him back on 1st October.
CQC Celebration
Staff can be seen above celebrating our newest CQC rating ('Good'), after a recent inspection. Well done to everyone who made this possible.

What's in the papers?
The Andover Advertiser had lots of local news, and even some stories about us. Rothsay Grange made it into the papers again due to our fantastic BBQ party for residents, staff, friends and family members.
We also got a story in the local paper for being rated as 'Good' by the CQC. We are all so happy to be at this level, and we hosted a party to say thank you to everyone, so grab a paper and have a look!
British Summer Show
We welcomed back the lovely Betsy, who put on a 'British Summer Show' that was themed around the '60s. She sang so many hits and the residents sang along with her too. Betsy always gives us a great show and, in this heat, she did very well with just the two costume changes. The afternoon ended far too quickly, but we gave her a proper Rothsay send-off with lots of cheers and clapping.
Musical Magic
Saturday 21st July saw Rothsay Grange welcome in a new singer, and his name is Ray Martin. Ray sang a good mixture of songs, such as 'Roamin' In The Gloamin', 'You Made Me Love You', Side by Side' and many more.
The residents enjoyed singing along with him and clapping their hands in time with the tunes. Ray sings on his own; he has no backing tracks and plays the guitar and the accordion – a very talented man indeed.
Chair Yoga
Residents and staff spent the morning recently enjoying Chair Yoga, which is provided by Fiona. Fiona usually comes to the home every week and we look forward to her visit everytime!
We are lucky enough to have Fiona and her class coming to our fete on the 11th August from 2pm to 4.30pm.
If you would like to fete or would like a tour of our beautiful home please do not hesitate to give us a call!
