Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

As part of our life enrichment program we like to keep connected with our local community. Residents enjoyed the morning with a lovely visit from our local nursery children we enjoyed going round the garden with the little ones and they fed the fish. The children joined our residents for lunch. Our head chef made fish fingers and chips and for desert children had ice cream. The little ones will be back to see us in December for some Christmas carols.

Staff and residents at Rose Lodge Care Home in Wisbech have enjoyed dressing in their pyjamas for the day to raise money for Children in Need. Taking place this year on Friday 17 November, Children in Need raises money to help support local charities and projects which are providing essential frontline help to children and young people in communities throughout the UK.

Residents, visitors and staff at Rose Lodge were all very supportive and were there to cheering each other on and commenting on who had the best pyjamas on!

Leading up to Remembrance day residents had been making there poppy display and making a remembrance cake. Residents enjoyed the cake watching the Remembrance Sunday.

The service honours the contribution of military and civilian servicemen and women in World Wars One and Two, and other conflicts. Thousands of veterans, army personnel and members of the public in the capital joined the rest of the UK in a two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT

Residents, and staff members at Rose Lodge Care Home celebrated the Harvest Festival by donating a food hamper to a local charity.

The occasion was also marked with singing of hymns, light refreshments and sharing stories which really helped everyone at the home get into the spirit of the festival. 

The Harvest Festival is a celebration of food grown on land and, traditionally, a time for families and communities to get together and bring food to the less fortunate. It dates back to the fifth century, where it was common for the harvest season to be celebrated with a huge feast – and from then the tradition grew and evolved.

Residents enjoyed celebrating World Smile Day by designing a variety of smiley faces to make others laugh and grin.

World Smile Day serves as a global reminder of the power of a simple smile. It encourages people to engage in acts of kindness, spread goodwill, and embrace positivity. One of our carers came in to help with the activity what a lovely morning we all had.

We hope these incredible craft pieces bring a smile to your faces too. Happy World Smile Day!
