Activities at Edingley Lodge Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Easter Bonnet Bash!

Edingley lodge was bursting with colour and creativity as residents geared up for some Easter Bonnet making. Some gathered around the table, proudly wearing hats decked out with flowers, feathers, and the occasional bouncing chicks. Others joined in from the comfort of their rooms, with staff kindly helping them if they needed. The bonnets were brilliant — fun, creative, and full of personality. 

We even handed out a few prizes to our winners, which brought lots of smiles (and a bit of friendly competition!). The judges had a tough time choosing winners. Prizes were handed out for first, second and third place, but most importantly, everyone left with something special- a big smile and a feeling of pride. Whether from a chair in the lounge or a bed by the window, everyone enjoyed taking part in the fun.

Ladies Day Celebrations

It was The Grand National Ladies Day over the weekend and what a fantastic day we spent celebrating at Edingley Lodge! Everyone looked absolutely stunning in their fascinators and hats, adding a touch of elegance and glamour to the occasion. 

We toasted with bubbles, sat inside or out, as we embraced the excitement of the Grand National festivities. To keep the fun going, we held a sweepstake where lucky winners walked away with chocolates or sweets! It was a day full of joy, fun, and wonderful moments spent together!

National Beer Day!

We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in recognition of National Beer Day. It started with a round of smiles, setting out a spread of crisp packets and a selection of local brews for the residents. The lounge buzzed with chatter and laughter as glasses clinked and toasts were made. 

Each sip brought stories and easy smiles, turning an ordinary afternoon into a celebration of good company and even better beer. Simple, joyful, and perfectly brewed.

Easter Fun!

We hope you had as much fun this Easter weekend as we did! Our celebrations kicked off on Good Friday with an amazing live performance by the incredibly talented Jeremy. His singing lit up the room, and our residents absolutely loved every moment — tapping their feet, singing along, and soaking up the joyful atmosphere. It was the perfect start to the weekend, with lots of smiling faces.Then on Easter Sunday, we had a very special visitor… the Easter Bunny! Our bunny made the rounds bringing treats and lots of photo-worthy moments. It was so lovely to see the delight on everyone’s faces.

Happy Birthday Mary!

We had such a lovely day yesterday celebrating our wonderful resident Mary’s birthday and getting into the Easter spirit! The atmosphere was full of laughter, chatter, and it was amazing to spend it with close family and friends.We spent the afternoon celebrating Mary.There was party music playing and plenty of prosecco to go around. Then we tucked into the most delicious birthday cake, kindly made by our chef — it was a real treat and lots of fun.
