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
Mini Madcaps
We had a lovely visit from a local preschool, who came to see us and sang nursery rhymes and danced for us. The children loved talking to residents and they were very warmly received. We're looking forward to their next visit already!
Remembrance Day
It was a cold morning, but with medals polished, we went to Peterborough Cathedral to give thanks and to remember the fallen. Music, words of thanks and prayers made this an emotional day, but also a thankful day too.
Armistice Day
We remembered the fallen outside the town hall an Armistice Day with 3 of our ex serving veterans and observed the 2 minutes silence. It was a very moving time for everybody. The gents then laid a wreath on behalf of everyone. After a photo opportunity with the Mayor, he invited the gentlemen to his chambers for a glass of sherry.
Visiting Library Service
We are very lucky to have these lovely ladies who volunteer at the local library and, once a fortnight, come to Braeburn Lodge to offer us a mobile library service. The books are provided by Lincolnshire Library Service.
Spooky Goings On
It's that time of year again, when we welcome the younger members of our community in to Braeburn Lodge whilst they are out trick or treating on Halloween. It has become a bit of a tradition here and the children love to come in to show off their costumes to residents. Then, of course, they get to dip into our cauldron and pick out some sweets.
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
We celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Barchester with an afternoon of music, dancing and family and friends. A lovely buffet was provided by our Chef, Tascha, and was all washed down with a cheeky Pimm's.
