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.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Birthday Celebrations
We celebrated one of our resident’s birthdays with balloons, cake and prosecco and plenty of smiles all round!
Meeting the Manager
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our ‘meet the manager’ day. It has been a huge success and we are looking forward to welcoming more of you for show rounds in the future. We follow all government guidance when delivering show rounds to ensure we can support a loved one looking for care.
Storytime
Our wonderful resident, Joyce, a retired teacher, kindly read a collection of storybooks to a local nursery via Skype. The children really enjoyed listening to their favourite stories and we have already booked in our next session!
The Magic Table
Residents enjoyed a fun-filled morning using our brand new Magic Table. The Magic Table projects images and sounds that can be interacted with and they are great for sensory sessions. We had fun interacting with the images and chatting about what they remind us of and how they make us feel.
Games Afternoon
Residents enjoyed an afternoon activity session. We have been playing bingo, completing puzzles and word searches and even indulged in some art therapy. The activities were enjoyed with a cup of tea and cake.
Flower Power
Our local Tesco supermarket generously donated bunches of daffodils to all our residents. They were so pleased and looking forward to see the beautiful flowers bloom and bringing with them feelings of springtime.
