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
Andover Choral Society
The Andover Choral Society visited us at Rothsay Grange again this year and didn’t disappoint with their beautiful sounds filling the home.
Two Special Guests
On Friday 8th December, we were joined by the Mayor of Test Valley for morning coffee, followed by entertainment from Amanda Parsons. There was plenty of chatting, singing, dancing, tea, coffee and, of course, mince pies. We would like to thank the Mayor for all his visits this year and would like to wish him a very merry Christmas.
Morning Coffee & Cake
On Thursday 7th December, we were invited by the health and social care students at The Wellington Academy for morning coffee and cake. They put on a very lovely spread of cakes, biscuits and drinks, and were all very accommodating. We enjoyed chatting with the students and other care homes and their residents from the local community. We would like to say a huge thank you and look forward to seeing them in the new year.
Portway Juniors Glee Club
We were joined by the very talented Portway Juniors Glee Club on Wednesday 6th December – and what a performance they put on! The singing was amazing and filled the home with such beautiful music. The residents that came along to join in were mesmerized by the children’s singing. Once they had finished, they stayed for a short while to interact with the ladies and gentlemen of the home.
Christmas Cake Baking
The best bakers at Rothsay have been getting involved with baking the Christmas cake. Once we have finished it, we will show your our Christmas creation – fingers crossed for Rothsay Grange!
Christmas Hits
Rothsay Grange was joined by the very talented Paul Nicholas once again, who performed some Christmas hits and carols, such as 'Silent Night', 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer', 'Jingle Bell Rock', 'Let it Snow' and many more. Residents were singing and clapping along for the whole time that Paul entertained.
