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
Time for Baking
They say that too many cooks spoil the broth, well not here at Braeburn Lodge. Many cooks helped us find some lovely recipes and fun was had chatting whilst we tried some of them out.
Pamper Time
Residents are regularly treated to time in our beauty salon (even our gents!), whether it’s for a new hairdo or a manicure and a fresh coat of nail varnish. A good pampering always makes you feel better!
Easter Chicks
Easter is on its way and we had a lovely visit from one of our family members with some chicks. The incubator and chicks were taken around to all the residents, who got the opportunity to hold them.
Pancake Tossing
We had lots of fun on Pancake Day as staff and residents battled head-to-head to see who could toss their pancake the highest. A few fell to the floor but, luckily, none stuck to the ceiling.
Memory Lane
We took a trip down memory day by reminiscing about our school days and what fun we had.
Wedding Day Reminiscing
One of our lovely volunteers here at Braeburn Lodge took the residents down memory lane talking about wedding days. Lynn brought lots of wedding items and got into the full of it by dressing up in a long, white wedding dress, which prompted lots of conversations and stories of our wedding days.
