Activities at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Our dedicated activities team are constantly dreaming up new and wonderful ways to support and stimulate the residents we look after. From trips to crafts, parties to skittles, musical performances and quizzes, we include something for everyone and pride ourselves on including everyone into the fun. We have a brilliant team of volunteers who help us to deliver more trips, support us at events and pop in for a cup of tea and chat. We have pet therapy at least once per week (sometimes twice!) and we take advantage of every school break by holding large scale events that we can invite families with children to. We have been developing ties with our neighbours since we first opened and thanks to this, we have successfully brought together our residents with local churches, choirs, Brownies groups, and schools. Whatever your interests are, here at Braeburn, there's something for everyone.
Yasmine Dawson
I have worked at Braeburn Lodge since 2015. I started working as a carer and the activities side of the role really appealed to me. We organise a variety of activities to suit everybody’s preferences and abilities. I enjoy working at Braeburn and making a difference to the residents’ lives.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Landmark celebrations!
We have all had such a wonderful day celebrating Gladys 100th Birthday. A visit from friends, family and the deputy mayor all made it even more special. Happy Birthday Gladys from all the staff and residents of Braeburn Lodge.
Trip to Peterborough Museum
We have recently visited the Peterborough Museum. Our residents had a lovely time getting to know the history of Peterborough in their very own museum.
Minibus Ride
Minibus rides are the best through the beautiful countryside. We finished off our trip with a coffee and homemade cake.
National Margarita Day
National Margarita Day was a great success with all the residents. We hosted a cocktail tasting session, which was truly enjoyed by all.
National Chocolate Mint Day
Did you know it was National Chocolate Mint Day? Here at Braeburn Lodge we did and what's better than indulging in this yummy treat to celebrate.
Let's Get Moving
Everyone loves getting involved in our weekly seated 'Move To Music' exercise class. The session incorporates gentle exercises with lovely music in the background.
