Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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!

High Sheriff Dr Bharatkumar Khetani Visits!

High Sheriff Dr Bharatkumar Khetani joined residents at the home to view their facilities and enjoy refreshments on Wednesday 13th March just a couple of weeks before he is due to step down as High Sheriff. During the visit many topics were discussed but most were in regards to the work High Sheriff Dr Bharatkumar Khetani has been doing over the past year and the many events he and his wife, Pritty, have attended as well as the work the activities team at Rose Lodge do to enrich the lives of their residents.

High Sheriff Dr Bharatkumar Khetani and his wife were impressed by the work the home team do every day, especially the variety of activities the home have going on like their community knit and natter which takes place every month as well as their more frequent activities like bingo and games night.

London Ladies

As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, Residents from across our services were thrilled to join tour guide, Mandy Morrow, for an exciting talk about some Legendary London Ladies.

Mandy shared the fascinating stories of eight ladies with us, from the one of the richest heiresses in the world to the original 'Roaring Girl'.

Everyone who participated truly enjoyed the experience and were delighted to take a walk down memory lane.
