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.

Life at Edingley Lodge Care Home
St Patrick's Day
Residents and staff at Edingley Lodge celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day. The home was decorated with shamrocks
Staff and residents marked the day by making decorations, learning some Irish words and phrases, learning Irish dances, , listening to Irish music. Head chef Marta prepared a fantastic Irish spread with Irish potato soup, Guinness beef pie, Boxty & egg and Irish chocolate cake all washed down with Guinness or Irish cream.
