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
Baking Club
We hold a Baking Club every week, where residents rustle up various treats.
Care Home Open Day
We hosted our Open Day on Saturday 17th June. We had a jam packed afternoon with a visit from K and H Falconry, who showcased their beautiful owls. Residents got to learn about the birds, as well as touch and hold them.
This was followed with a delicious afternoon tea and some fantastic entertainment from a local singer, Vicki Parkinson. Our special guest for the afternoon was the Mayor of Test Valley, Cllr Carl Borg-Neal. He spent his time here chatting to residents and visitors at the home.
Carers Week
Carers at Rothsay Grange were delighted with the sweets they received as a token of appreciation for all the hard work that they do.
Cosmic Sparkle
We welcomed back the fantastic Cosmic Sparkle to Rothsay Grange. Robyn has a fabulous aura and it definitely shows in her performance, ensuring that all who attend are ready to party by the end of it! She sings a wide selection of songs from different genres, including country, swing, rock & roll, ballads and more, so there’s always something for everyone.
Welcome to our New Maintenance Team
We have a new maintenance team here at Rothsay Grange: Ben, who has recently taken up the position of Maintenance Manager, and Callum, who has been employed as the Maintenance Assistant.
They have been super busy with all the odd jobs in and out of the home, getting things looking brand new. They seem to work as a great team and always have a smile on their faces. No job is too big or too small for our wonderful maintenance team.
Live Entertainment
Amanda Parsons is our care home's newest act and she has wowed us with her unique ways; she has a quirky singing voice that takes you back to the '40s '50s and '60s. Amanda interacted well with all the residents that came along to the afternoon entertainment and didn’t miss anyone out. Residents were encouraged to join in with singing and dancing. We look forward to welcoming her back in the near future.
