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!

Life at Rose Lodge Care Home
A Visit from Emneth Nursery School
What a beautiful morning we had today. Residents really love our special visitors from our local nursery, Emneth Nursery School .
Residents and children really enjoyed our Aqua Paints and matching card game. Both activities are great for cognitive skills and sparking conversations between the two generations.
We had even more to celebrate today as one of our little visitors was celebrating his birthday with us! Our amazing hospitality team and Head Chef made a special birthday cake and we all sang Happy Birthday as it was brought out.
Home host Macmillan Coffee Morning
Staff and residents at Rose Lodge Care Home in Wisbech held a charity coffee morning and bake sale on to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Having a coffee morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
Alzheimer's Awareness Week
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Rose Lodge Care Home in Wisbech marked Alzheimer’s Awareness Month which is taking place throughout September.
Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia, the loss of cognitive functioning – thinking, remembering, reasoning – which can affect a person’s day to day life and activities. Functions that can be impacted are memory, language skills, visual perception, problem solving, self-management and the ability to focus and pay attention. The number of people living with dementia in the UK is forecast to increase to over 1m.
Group exercise
Here at Rose Lodge, we always look forward to JG Fitness hosting our popular group exercise session which brings our residents together.
These regular sessions are great for our mind, body and soul. We used bands to help with our exercise this week and are very much looking forward to our next session.
103-years young celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at Rose Lodge Care Home as one of its residents reaches her 103rd birthday in style.
Nancy King was joined by staff and family to celebrate her 103rd birthday. Nancy enjoyed many cards, presents and a special cake made by Head Chef Dianne Lilley. Nancy enjoyed afternoon tea and a party at the home joined by several family members.
Nancy was born in Sutton and had a smallholding with several animals. Nancy has 7 children and 5 Grandchildren. Nancy loved being by the seaside and also cooking, especially baking.
A spot of retail therapy
Residents thoroughly enjoyed a trip out to our local supermarket doing a spot of retail therapy and using the self-service check out. Residents purchased some delicious cakes and commented “they could not believe how much things have changed in the supermarkets!”
As part of our life enrichment programme we ensure our residents remain connected to their local community.
