Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Across of homes residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

Residents enjoyed their creative morning with Debbie from Gratitude 43. This is a popular group activity and residents were busy cutting and designing their tea pots, the theme was ‘time for tea’. 

It was a perfect way to start the day before enjoying an afternoon cream tea as they proudly looked at the colourful display for all to see.

We revelled in all things sweet for World Chocolate Day with a range of chocolatey activities. Our residents enjoyed an exciting where they had the chance to try different chocolate bars from all over the world.

In the afternoon, we took part in themed quiz, tasted our delicious treats and had a discussion about all things chocolate. A wonderful day was had by all.

Residents of Rose Lodge have been busy growing their own plants and vegetables as part of the homes gardening club and life enrichment programme and residents were delighted with their recent crop of produce!

The club have also been busy painting the fence a bright colour, staff have also been involved with the potting of plants, mint and cutting the lavender to make their own lavender bags for their rooms.

Residents at Rose Lodge enjoy a varied life enrichment programme to keep the mind, body and soul active. Today there was lots of laughter and a little friendly competitiveness as we played table hockey scoring as many goals as we could. 

It was a whole team approach as members of the care team joined in the fun!  But who was our winner?

Do you like a good puzzle? – we do.   For one of our residents, Peter this is a very special hobby as each puzzle completed is part of his life’s history and has a special meaning to him.  Once they are completed they are framed for him by his niece, Jo so that he can look at them each day. There is always a story behind each puzzle.

We encourage and support our residents to retain their interests, hobbies and daily lifestyle preferences to continue pursuing the things they have always enjoyed? They are also invited to join new activities and make friends along the way.
