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
Dignitaries Evening
We welcomed professionals from the local authorities who we closely work with. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and be given the opportunity to provide them with a tour of our beautiful home, enabling then first hand to see what we have to offer.
Coffee, Cake & Singalongs
Residents at Braeburn Lodge had a great afternoon in our minibus singing along to their favourite songs whilst driving through the countryside. We stopped off for coffee, cake and a chat that turned into a singalong in the café as well. It’s always good to entertain the locals!
We will not be forgotten and are already planning the next visit.
An Afternoon Out
At Braeburn Lodge, we enjoyed a lovely drive in the countryside and witnessed nature at its best along the country roads. After a lovely walk around the garden centre, we relaxed with a warming cappuccino and good conversation. We will most definitely be returning!
The residents have now got some beautiful pot plants on their patio for them to enjoy and see every day.
Singing & Dancing
There is always so much going on in the week at Braeburn Lodge for all the residents to enjoy. We very recently had a talented gentleman called Jeremy who provided an exercise to music session for residents with a few of their favourite songs.
As a professional, he showed us his many talents and although we tried to copy him, we couldn’t quite get our legs as high as he does with his kicks. Oh well, practice makes perfect
A True Professional
We welcomed back Trudie Mason, our very own toastmaster from the past, who supports the home with events and makes a huge difference. She has such a professional touch and manners and always performs to the highest standard.
Trudie always gets us up singing and dancing and residents love her so much that they're already looking forward to the next party with her.
An Afternoon of Fun
At Braeburn Lodge, we all love to dance and sing. We enjoyed a musical afternoon of singing and dancing, with entertainment provided by the home.
Residents showed the best techniques and some of the staff members had such beautiful voices.
X-Factor, here we come!
