Activities at Edingley Lodge Care Home

Today our residents have enjoyed a selection of beauty and pampering sessions within the home.

Relaxing music sets an ambient scene during each session, as Residents sit to enjoy an afternoon of pampering which leaves them feeling relaxed and confident each time.

Wonderful conversation was had by all as Residents shared their memories of spa days they enjoyed whilst growing up, discussing how much their moods are lifted during pamper sessions like this, with treatments including hand massages and nail therapy.

May we introduce you to Mrs Stuffy. She sits proudly by the entrance to Edingley Lodge, where she watches the world go by.

It is time for and we wanted to be part of our community and the festivities by making a scarecrow.

We have had so much fun making the scarecrow in lounge, using things we could find easily in and around the home. We hope she enjoys sitting in the last late summer sunshine this weekend.

Our residents had a delightful trip to the local Garden Centre.

Not only did they indulge in the most scrumptious coffee and cake, but they also got a sneak peek at the early Christmas preparations at the garden centre. Yes, you read that right – the festive spirit is already in the air at local garden centre !

Seeing the twinkling lights and beautiful Christmas displays left us all feeling a little more festive and ready for the season of joy. How about you? Is anyone else already feeling the Christmas spirit?

We'd love to hear your early Christmas plans or any memories you have of Brookfields Garden Centre. Share them below!

Thank you to the team for their hospitality and for getting us all excited for the most wonderful time of the year.

Stay merry and bright, everyone!

Residents at Edingley Lodge love singing and dancing together so this week we thought it would be fun to do some karaoke. Residents also enjoyed in wearing some funny hairstyles.

The activities team and staff at Edingley Lodge organised for the karaoke machine to have all our favourite songs on so we could sing from the bottom of our lungs to the tunes we know and love!

The room fills with laughter and smiles when we are all singing together; it’s a real highlight of the week. Residents Joan sang a duet for us which was brilliant, we really have some very talented residents.

Resident also joined for the weekly baking session this morning we baked some cupcakes.

As we’ve seen a change in the weather we’ve felt autumnal arts and crafts were on the cards!

Residents used leaves that we’d collected outside to draw round and cut out leaf shapes to create some autumn bunting. We chose lots of different coloured card to create the look!

There's nothing quite like a good old sing song!

Today we got out the karaoke machine and belted some tunes! Being able to just sing unapologetically is so good for the soul, and turns out some of our residents are keeping secrets and they can more than hold a tune! We all took turns to sing some of the classics such as Que Sera Sera and, with the lyrics on the screen, everyone could join in. We had the best time!
