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
National Fish & Chips Day
Residents and the activities team went out for fish and chips to mark one of the best days of the year.
The residents choose to go to the fish shop in the Drove and take them to Carlton lakes but sadly no parking! we all forgot the kids were off on half term. So we all made a decision for the driver to take us somewhere quite but scenic and did she do that YES.
We ended up on Param Down, what a beautiful place to sit and have your fish and chips. We meet a lot of nice people walking their dogs or off on a jog who stopped for a chat.
The residents said they all had a great time Anna found some spent bullets and gave one each to those that wanted a souvenir of the day. The downs are part of Salisbury plain that the army use to train so you can find them very easy.
Celebrating the King's Coronation
Staff, residents and families in the home put their heads together and came up with a plan for their celebrations fit for a King. Over the bank holiday we had a barbecue with Emily singing everyone’s favourite songs. The whole home came together to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
VE Day
We marked the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and we all enjoyed an afternoon of Amanda singing and we all was dancing.
Visiting the Army Flying Museum
In aid of museum day we went to the Army Flying Museum, John was telling all of us about how is Dad was in the Air Force and flown his airplane to close to some house and all the window broke. While we was having lunch we was watching the helicopters taking off and landing.
National Tea Day
As it was National tea day we had a selection of teas to try and you just have to have a biscuit to dunk! We also saw Debbie join us. She was amazing with all her new songs, she kept the residents singing along and dancing.
A Visit from Steve and Sophie
At Rothsay Grange we always like to add to our acts, this month we had Steve a new singer who also brought his therapy dog Sophie with him. She was very good and waited for him to stop singing and then it was her time to shine the residents had an amazing time that afternoon.
