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
Exercise Class
Here at Rose Lodge, we always look forward to JK Fitness hosting our popular group exercise session.
There sessions are popular and good for our mind, body and soul. Jake from JK Fitness also likes to test our knowledge with ‘homework’ as he asks us how many muscles we have in our body! Jake asked us regarding muscles in our body he said we all done well
Afterwards, we are always ready for a refreshing drinks.
Little Helpers!
Residents of Rose Lodge are encouraged to lend a helping hand if they wish. Residents are often found lending a helping hand to the team at the home from the chef where they have enjoyed a lifelong interest and enjoyment in cooking to the domestic team and having a duster in hand!
For others, simple folding of napkins and participating in household chores to laying of the tables for lunch. One Resident says “this gives me a purpose, I feel like I’m contributing by lending a helping hand”. The ladies recently enjoyed a morning folding laundry as it was a job they much enjoyed.
Magic table fun
Did you know that we can bring a bit of magic to our home through some of the most advance technological solutions to enhance our residents’ engagement? Our residents love using our Magic Table and exploring the great variety of sensory interactive games, which research has shown are able to have a positive effect on those living with dementia through sensory stimulation, relaxation and reminiscence.
Come sing!
We had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing virtual singing session for our residents to enjoy. Our residents were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘In The Summertime’ by Mungo Jerry and ’Summer Nights’ from ‘Grease’.
There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
Yorkshire Day
This week we celebrated Yorkshire Day in style. We hosted a Yorkshire themed day with a nice ‘brew’ Yorkshire style and chatted about holidays in some of the most popular seaside resorts. It was a wonderful day.
Virtual Tour of Mayfair
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
