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
Music to our ears
Robin the accordion player entertained our residents here at Rothsay Grange for an afternoon with array of songs, toes were tapping and hands were clapping as everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
Valentine's Day
Sunday 14th February love was in the air with our Valentines afternoon tea party with musical entertainment from Andy Martin singing a wide range of songs. The residents and relatives enjoyed tea and delicious cake made by our chef Cathy.
After the party residents and relatives gathered in the garden to let off the helium balloons with labels attached that they had written with special messages to their loved ones.
Art Club
In one of our weekly art clubs, the residents got messy with string and balloons to create some decorative art to be hung in their rooms. The outcome of this art club was very successful and the residents were pleased with their results.
Flower Arranging
Residents got busy with arranging flowers in vases and oasis, there was lots of chatting amongst the residents during this activity which brought some lovely memories back. The flowers brightened up the home from being displayed in communal areas and residents rooms.
Cosmic Sparkle
Live entertainment from Cosmic Sparkle went down a treat with our residents, this was the first time Cosmic sparkle has been to Rothsay Grange. This new up and coming singer sang songs from 50's 60's and 70's so there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Elvis is in the house.
Residents, relatives and staff enjoyed an afternoon of birthday celebrations of the one and only Elvis Presley. Mayor Iris Andersen and her Cllr Consort John Cockaday attended this event where they enjoyed dancing with residents and staff. Elvis left the residents All Shook Up!!!
