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
Musical Entertainment
Residents enjoyed a glass of Pimm's whilst sitting in the courtyard and listening to some live musical entertainment.
Sensory Sessions
Braeburn has a wonderful dedicated room for sensory sessions with bubble machines, interactive 'Magic Table' projectors and much more. These sessions are brilliant for some one-on-one time with a member of the activities team and are thoroughly enjoyed.
The Banjo Man
We were finally able to welcome back one of our regular entertainers, the Banjo Man, into our courtyard for a wonderful musical event. The residents really enjoyed the outdoor entertainment and some even indulged in a glass of Pimm's whilst listening.
Canada Day
Residents enjoyed making decorative plates to put on display for Canada day!
Baking Afternoon
Residents enjoyed making delicious rice crispy cakes for their weekly baking session. The home was filled with the aroma of melted chocolate and they were enjoyed by all of the residents and even some members of staff!
Bridget's Birthday
One of our lovely residents, Bridget, celebrated her 101st birthday today! We had a musical performance in our visiting pod and enjoyed singing, dancing and eating lots of cake.
