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
Tai Chi Sessions
With Christmas soon approaching, we had a lovely decorated room in which to do our monthly Tai Chi exercise with Ray Pawlett. We look forward to seeing Ray again in the new year for twice monthly sessions.
Deeping Baptist Church
We were graced with the presence of members of the Deeping Baptist Church over the Christmas period who joined in with a lovely carol service.
Caterpillar Nursery
Caterpillar Nursery came to visit residents for songs and mince pies on a chilly winter morning. It was delightful seeing the little ones having so much fun.
Essex Road
Our final trip of the year to Essex Road Community Centre went off with a festive bang as we danced and sang with Jeremy and our friends from Stamford. We had a fabulous time singing along to classic Christmas songs and were thoroughly exhausted from all of our dancing!

An Elvis Dinner
We braved the winter night to venture out to the local Boundary fish and chip shop one evening to enjoy a fabulous fish and chip dinner with the wonderful sounds of Elvis as we ate. There was plenty of singing and dancing in our chairs through the meal, but we pulled out all the stops after dessert as we took to the dance floor to tap our feet with the other party goers. We had a truly fantastic evening and we can’t wait to do it again in the new year.
