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
Italian Day
It is Italian Day at Braeburn Lodge. The residents have been talking about Italy and learning some of the language. They also made some delicious pizzas with plenty of pepperoni!
The Christmas Spirit
Our Braeburn elves have been busy today organising the residents' Christmas party. We have had a fun-filled morning of games, including pass the parcel, Christmas bingo and 'name the Christmas song'. They then all enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch, followed by cheese and crackers.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
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!
