Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Our residents were delighted to welcome the Hereward Ukulele Group. Established in January 2019, the group convenes bi-monthly for practice sessions at the Braza Club in March, Cambridgeshire. 

We were delighted when they offered to visit our home perform for our residents. 

One resident commented on the the harmonious sounds of the ukuleles, while another thoroughly enjoyed singing along to the melodies. The residents of Rose Lodge would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the group for providing a delightful afternoon of music.

Heavenly voices rang out at the Rose Lodge as the community came together to celebrate Christmas with a carol concert.

Staff and residents at Rose Lodge got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with a carol concert to sing some festive Christmas favourites. The singing was led by the young peoples from the Marshland High School.

There was a variety of tasty treats and festive refreshments on offer to our special guests, prepared by the home
 

Across our homes we’ve had the most wonderful time celebrating the festive season with a special screening of 2020’s OLD VIC: IN CAMERA – A Christmas Carol. 

This beautifully staged production brought the magic of Dickens’ classic tale right into our homes. A huge thank you to The Old Vic theatre for sharing this incredible performance with us. It was a truly wonderful experience. 

Colleagues in the home swapped their uniforms for costumes on National Elf Day (Wednesday December 4) in an effort to raise funds and awareness to help people living with dementia.

Launched by the Alzheimer’s Society and delivered direct from the North Pole, Elf Day was created to sprinkle some festive cheer on fundraising towards finding a cure for dementia. From stripy socks to head-to-toe elf outfits, anything goes – there’s snow better way to raise money to help beat dementia.

On the day, residents and staff were able to enjoy elf-themed games including elf-bingo paired with an afternoon of mulled wine and minced pies as the team at the home donned their elfish apparel. 

Staff at the home were delighted to celebrate two more members of the team completed their National Diploma in adult care.

Cameron and Khaye were presented with flowers, gifts, their hard earned certificate’s at a celebration in the home to mark their achievement followed by a meal at Worzel’s restaurant.

Cameron and Khaye are a very popular and much loved members of the Rose Lodge care team, by our residents, their families and colleagues alike. It goes without saying that the home couldn’t be more proud of the ladies and everything that they have achieved during their diploma journey. 

Staff and residents across our homes were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.  

Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, she specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers.  She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.

During the workshop, residents were invited to join Kathryn to make beautiful Christmas-themed table decorations.
