Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Rose Lodge Care Home
Wear it Pink in the Community
We were thrilled to participate with our friends at the Rosmini Community Centre as they welcomed the local community to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer support through their 'wear it pink' event.
The community demonstrated its support by baking an array of beautiful handmade cakes, accompanied by a variety of refreshments. The event was a wonderful success, with everyone having a splendid time, and our residents making new friends.
Enable Launch
Launch Announcement! We are excited to unveil Enable, our new digital care plan system, at the home.
This cutting-edge system enhances our ability to support our residents with greater effectiveness and efficiency.
Enable revolutionizes the planning, recording, and coordination of person-centred care through handheld devices and tablets.
The shift from paper to digital ensures seamless documentation of all care and life enrichment aspects, along with streamlined information access.
To commemorate this milestone, we gathered for a celebration filled with scrumptious homemade cake, sparkling bubbles, and plenty of laughter!
Visiting the Rosmini Community Centre
Our residents and colleagues were thrilled to participate as guests in the Rosmini Community Centre's weekly arts program.
The centre extends an invitation to local seniors and anyone looking to enjoy communal activities to attend their complimentary art classes.
Located on Queens Road in Wisbech, the sessions are held on Tuesday mornings starting at 10 am. Attendees can indulge in various crafts, watercolour, and acrylic painting, while also connecting with fellow carers and seniors in the community.
Virtual afternoon at the theatre
Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Joining homes and community groups up and down the country, we hosted our Macmillan Coffee Morning.
We welcomed back the amazing KJ and the Catt to entertain us all for our morning festivities.
Residents, family and our colleagues sang and danced the morning away while enjoying several pots of fresh coffee-such a lovely smell-and some beautiful cakes, baked or donated by staff.
The joy on the faces of Wendy and Vera as they danced with Dan was a delight to see.
Jean surprised us all by taking to the floor with Dan’s microphone and belting out some classic country. Cheryl, Our wonderful Volunteer, commented on the fun that we all had- and all in a good cause.
Alzheimer's Awareness Month
As part of Alzheimer's Awareness month and World Alzheimer's Day we welcomed popular entertainers, KJ and the Catt to perform. The sung a medley of hits taking us down memory lane for an afternoon of singing and dancing to some of our favourite songs.
Residents enjoyed dancing to the music with Vera, saying “she always used to go dancing and the sounds brought back many fond memories”.
After all the singing and dancing, we enjoyed a very special afternoon tea especially prepared by our homes hospitality team. We would also like to thank ‘Flowers by Maddie Goodie’ for the beautiful and colourful bespoke bouquets and for generously donating a boxed flower arrangement to our raffle to raise funds for this worthy cause.
