Activities at Hazel Lodge Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Sonia Teixeira
I am thrilled to be part of the team at ‘Hazel Lodge’ and to use the large range of experience I have from within the care sector.
As the Activities co-ordinator I have a real passion for promoting individual well-being and life enrichment and work closely with residents and their families, planning activities and events that they would like to participate in.

Life at Hazel Lodge Care Home
Keeping Up Traditions
Our lovely Jean always makes a pot of spring bulbs for her late husband at Christmas , this year we made sure that she had everything she needed to continue to do just that. Clare our administrator just happened to walk in as we were getting started so Jean shared her knowledge and gave her a lesson on where each of the bulbs needed to be planted .The tub will stay outside Jean's patio doors now so she can keep an eye on them until she delivers them in December .
World Kindness Day
In recognition of World Kindness Day on 13th November , the Hazel Lodge team made a surprise visit to the guys at Music for the Memory in Battle . Our chefs made some scrummy cupcakes for us to take along and share with the group .

Our residents enjoyed a fun evening celebrating Bonfire night with jacket spuds , sizzling sausages and sparklers. The evening was topped off with live music from Andy Mace and a chance to warm up with some hot moves on the dance floor.
