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
Christmas Tunes
On 20th December, we had a fun-filled day with Robin playing the accordion and then, in the afternoon, we had a lovely group playing hand bells. They played a mixture of Christmas tunes and the staff and residents sang along. After playing, the residents were lucky to have a go at ringing the bells themselves.
Songs of Days Gone By
On 22nd December, we had the lovely Betsy return with her songs of days gone by, her change of costume and information about the singers and songs she sang. It was a mix of old time favourites and Christmas songs. We all joined in singing along with her. Betsy is always a great hit with residents, as she mingles in with them while singing.
The Snow Queen
Troubadour Productions have been spreading the Christmas joy with their Christmas production of The Snow Queen. They had the residents laughing and singing along to some well-known songs. We look forward to them coming back I the New Year.
Christmas Cake Competition
This is out completed Christmas cake for the Barchester Christmas Cake Competition; the residents chose the design and we think it didn’t turn out too bad.
Christmas Carols
Vigo School paid us a visit for some caroling, and we were in for a spectacular treat. They all sung beautifully and the residents enjoyed interacting with the children afterwards. The children all got treated to drink and a biscuit and, before leaving, they all got to choose some sweets.
Christmas Party
It was Christmas party time here at Rothsay Grange and what a fun afternoon we had with fantastic entertainment from Dave Dawson. Once again, he had us on our toes, singing, dancing and clapping along to his music. We all enjoyed the refreshments, which our on site chefs prepared for us.
