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
Santa Has Come to Town
Residents welcomed a special guest on Christmas Eve, who went by the name of Father Christmas. He met all the residents and delivered a Christmas gift to each of them. He brought along 2 helpers who aided him this busy Christmas Eve.
Christmas Cake Creation
This was the end result of our Christmas cake creation for the Barchester Christmas Cake Competition. Unfortunately, we did not win, but we all enjoyed baking and icing the cake – oh and, of course, eating it!
Christmas Carol Concert
Evie Armour hosted a Christmas carol concert for the residents of the home. We all had song books so that we could enjoy singing along to the classic carols. All residents who came along enjoyed the array of carols and had a pleasant afternoon.
Meeting the Manager
Chico came along to Rothsay Grange to entertain the residents, relatives and visitors of the home while we hosted our 'Meet the Manager' event. The afternoon went well and included a special visit from The Mayor of Test Valley, Cllr Carl Borg-Neal, with the Mayoress, Maria, who enjoyed dancing with the residents. Residents and visitors all enjoyed some mulled wine and mince pies.
Christmas at Hollywood
Betsy joined us on December 22nd to put on a performance of her show, 'Christmas at Hollywood'. With magnificent costume changes, the residents were well-entertained on this afternoon. We look forward to seeing Betsy again in the new year with more wonderful shows.
Poppies Pre-School
On 21st December we had little visitors again from Poppies Pre-School. They joined us full Christmas giggles and were ready to play games and sing to the residents. First the children settled in by playing with the toys the residents had put out for them. Then we all had a game of pass the parcel and, to end the day, the children sang some carols they had learnt. Both children and residents enjoyed the time spent together; we have booked them in for next year and we are going to spend some time at their nursery too – we are all looking forward to this!
