Activities at Edingley Lodge Care Home
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.

Art Class
a couple of our residents who are keen artists, had the pleasure of joining a local art class, where they had the opportunity to express their art in the way they wanted to,
June & Pauline residents at Edingley Lodge have always enjoyed art & have passion for art. so today was extra special for them, to join with other artists and share their beautiful art work whilst getting to know each other. We would like to thank Edwinstowe village hall for allowing us to fulfil their wishes.
Take a look at some of the amazing art!
