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
Our New Visiting Pod
Our brand new visiting pod opened recently, and we were all thrilled to start commencing indoor visiting. This provides safe and secure visiting in the winter months, and we have already had some wonderful feedback of the comfort and care this provides for our relatives and residents.
Flower Power
Residents have been busy arranging beautiful Christmas floral centrepieces. These will be displayed throughout our dining rooms to be enjoyed by all the residents.
Cares & Prayers
Another busy morning at Braeburn Lodge; each resident had a personal Skype session with our local Reverend for Cares and Prayers day.
World Kindness Day
For World Kindness Day, John Lewis donated some lovely gifts for our residents and staff to enjoy. Thank you from everyone at Braeburn Lodge!
Halloween Colouring
Although we could not have trick or treaters visiting our home this year, we still wanted to engage with our local community, so we held a colouring competition for the local children. We were so grateful for all the entries and our residents judged the competition. Because they were all so fantastic, we struggled to choose the overall winner! The above picture is the winning entry. We all hope you had a spooktacular Halloween.
Pumpkin Carving
Residents are getting ready for Halloween by carving pumpkins into spooky shapes. We have placed them all over the home and they look brilliant!
