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!

Virtual trip to Cornish Seal Sanctuary
A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!
Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
Professional Networking Event
In mid-September, the home initiated a new community-based networking group to bolster the town of Wisbech and its vicinity.
We were excited to host visiting professionals to explore collaborative ways to enhance the local community and provide assistance to those in dire need. It was a pleasure to have Hannah from Lyncroft Care Home, Jack from How Are You Fenland, and Shannon and Charlotte from the community team at Yorkshire Building Society join us.
104th Birthday Celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at the home as one of our residents reaches her 104th birthday in style.
Nancy was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she celebrated her 104th birthday today. She had a lovely day filled with cards, cake, flowers, balloons, gifts, family and love! Nancy enjoyed the day (albeit a little tired).
She was born in the London Borough of Sutton in 1920. She then moved to Kings Lynn in Norfolk and served as a land girl during World War Two, before then meeting her husband and settling down to start a family. Nancy has 7 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
She later came to Rose Lodge in December 2023 where she is enjoying a new chapter of her life.
Residents enjoy beach themed Summer Fete
Colleagues, residents, relatives and the local community came together to enjoy our Open Day and themed garden party.
We were privileged to welcome back Sidney Imafidon the Mayor of Wisbech and Julie our local Tesco community champion.
There was a variety of stalls and activities taking place and we had wonderful entertainment from the fabulous Karl Richardson.
Everyone gathered together and it was delightful to see different generations having fun together. Visitors enjoyed plenty of refreshments such as tea, coffee, cake and seaside themed scampi and chips which were prepared by our brilliant catering team, who worked hard to make sure a great time was had by all.
One of our residents said “ I have really enjoyed myself and was surrounded by laughter and great people”. A big thank you to everyone who came and supported and everyone who helped make the day extra special.
