Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Staff and residents at Rose Lodge are celebrating National Activity Providers & Professionals Week, which takes place from January 22-26. Residents and staff wanted to thank the wonderful activities team at the home, whose hard work and dedication make a real difference to the lives of the residents living there. 

National Activity Providers & Professionals Week is an annual event to support activity professionals and thank them for all the many different varied activities they provide to residents and patients.  Each and every member of the team at Rose Lodge offer unique, tailored activities and entertainment to the residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this everyone at the home is truly grateful.
 

Residents enjoyed a morning of cocktails, mocktails, and reminiscence as they gathered for our home's 'Mocktails and Memories' event.

This special dementia-friendly event brought our residents together to engage in discussions and reminisce over a selection of delicious beverages.

Residents discussed family holiday memories and even entered a hearty discussion about ladies taking control and driving the family car on the longer journeys further afield. 

Our home had two very special guests in January as we welcomed Gill Southgate and her beautiful 4-year-old guide dog ‘Adelaide’ Gill, a speaker for the guide dog’s association gave a wonderful and inspiring seminar about her guide dogs, how they were trained and the work of the guide dog association.

Her first guide dog was Ruby. “I was hesitant to get a dog initially, but she transformed my life and gave me the confidence to have my children,” Gill shared. Adelaide is a great listener, hugely affectionate, loyal, and dependable and is hugely popular everywhere she goes.

Residents and colleagues at Rose Lodge were overjoyed to receive a message of thanks from the Wisbech Food Bank. 

Over the festive period the colleagues in the home, residents and relatives collected 45kg of food items which equated to 107 meals for those in need within the local community. 

Our home embraced the Christmas spirit by hosting a star-studded Christmas party, featuring a special guest – the Mayor of Wisbech, Councillor Sidney Imafidon. 

He joined our residents for an evening of musical entertainment provided by KJ and the Catt.

The Christmas party was in full swing as our residents enjoyed a feast of festive foods prepared by the home's chef.

A group of our residents enjoyed a trip to the Rosmini Centre to join the local community for a fun-filled pantomime featuring the festive classic, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Our residents were delighted by this fun filled retelling of the classic fairy-tale and were delighted to share in the fun with the wider community in attendance.
