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.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Deeping St James Primary School
We welcomed a selection of the choir from Deeping Saint James Primary School recently and they sang the most wonderful songs to us as we ate our lunch. The fantastic dinner entertainment didn’t end there though as, after the performance, the children mingled and had lovely conversations with residents. A massive thank you to the children and adults of Deeping St James Primary school for including us on your caroling tour!
Headstart Nursery
We welcomed Headstart Nursery into our home and they entertained us by singing some lovely Christmas tunes. They followed this up by enjoying some tasty biscuits and juice with us afterwards. A big thank you to Headstart Nursery for their visit!
Shopping at Van Hage
We’re getting close to Christmas now. which means only one thing… It’s time to shop! We took out a group to do a spot of Christmas shopping recently with a lovely hot cup of tea as our reward for walking around the entire building. Not even the murky weather was going to stop us having a lovely morning together.
Keep Moving with Ruth
Another stupendous morning of exercise with Ruth, with members from across the home coming to join the fun. We had a lovely time, enjoying the Christmas spirit with the Christmas music motivating us to dance as we moved. We look forward to our next session with Ruth in the new year!
Deeping Methodist Church's Christmas Festival
Over the weekend, our local Methodist Church held a Christmas festival, with entrants from all over town submitting Christmas trees and angles - homemade and decorated - to represent their businesses. We, of course, entered our Braeburn apple tree again this year with the addition of tiny balls of yarn and knitting needles. While we were there, we were treated to the most divine spread imaginable with all sorts of homemade treats for us to enjoy with a cup of tea. After we had warmed up, we took a tour of the building to see people’s creations and we had a fabulous afternoon with the members of the church, chatting and laughing together. A big think you to the Deeping Methodist Church and all of their kind hospitality!
Reindeer Games
Christmas has arrived! To mark the beginning of this festive period, we took a bus of residents up to Baytree Garden Centre in Spalding to see the reindeer there. They were ever so hungry for both carrots and a bit of fuss as well! It was a lovely way to mark the start of the Christmas period.
