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
Flower Arranging
One of our monthly activities is flower arranging, where residents get the opportunity to create beautiful displays for the home.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
On Friday 29th September, Rothsay Grange held their Macmillan Coffee Morning, and residents, staff and visitors came together for coffee and cakes.
We had a lovely selection of cakes available that were donated by staff members, and some homemade cakes made by the kitchen team at Rothsay Grange – they all looked delicious.
We raised a total of £51.48 and would like to thank everyone who joined us for the morning.
What's in the local news?
Every Friday, we have a gathering of residents who enjoy going through the Andover Advertiser, our local newspaper. Barbara, a resident, reads articles from the paper for the others to discuss in a group over a steaming hot cuppa.
Baking Club
One of our baking clubs involved picking apples and blackberries from the bushes and trees on our grounds. Once we collected the fruits, we prepared them to make a delicious crumble. Residents who participated in this activity very much enjoyed the process, from collecting to the tasting.
George & Ginger
On Wednesday 27th September, residents of Rothsay Grange were joined by the dynamic duo, George and Ginger, as they performed a selection of songs that got the whole room involved in singing and dancing along! Residents of Rothsay are really looking forward to having them back again very soon.
Talent Show
Tuesday 26th September was an opportunity for residents, staff members and friends of Rothsay Grange to showcase their artistic talents, hosted by our Activities Coordinators, Aimee and Irene.
The afternoon was a celebration of how art can influence and bring people together.
