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.

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
Beside the Seaside
The good old British weather didn't stop us from having a wonderful seaside-themed day! Our residents enjoyed a morning of sea shanties, beach ball games and taking a walk down memory lane as they delved their hands into the sand pit to create sand castles and other creations!
Our memory lane community had a wonderful morning blowing bubbles and listening to songs being played on the piano. Everyone enjoyed traditional fish and chips, delivered fresh from 'The Boundary' fish & chip shop.
Our residential community indulged in the afternoon drinks trolley and a selection of fudge and humbug sweets, then relaxed to live entertainment from one of our talented staff members.
It was a wonderful day; the smiles were all the sunshine we needed!
Garden Club
Our residents had a fabulous morning making their own bird feeders. Garden club was a great success!
Sunflower Competition
Our residents have been busy pottering in the garden. They have recently started a sunflower growing competition. Here is a little glimpse of our starting point. Watch this space...
Fun in the Sun!
The residents enjoyed the lovely sunshine with drinks and music!
Perfect Painting Weather
Our talented resident artist made the most of the sunshine to paint scenes of the garden.
Easter Memory Café
The residents joined us for our Easter Memory Café and spoke about their memories of Easter whilst enjoying a cup of coffee and some Easter eggs.
