Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

Residents and  staff at rose lodge got into the Easter celebrations. Each day we had arts and crafts going on for Easter. We made Easter bonnets, Easter bunny house, Easter wreaths and of course we had an Easter raffle. With all the money raised going to our 'Resident's fund'.

Thank you to Debbie with your arts and crafts.

Here at rose lodge we have the incredible eggs; uplifting joyous and magical hatching ducks. We had 5 duck eggs and 4 of them have hatched into lovely ducklings. Residents have been watching the ducklings hatch. They said its amazing that a duck hatched from a small egg. Staff have been holding the ducks. They have grown so quick over the days. Our residents ask every morning "has another duck hatched?"

Residents and colleagues at Rose Lodge enjoyed a fun filled weekend to celebrate Easter, we enjoyed a live performance by KJ and the Catt, there was lots of dancing, singing and laughter to be heard throughout the home.  KJ and the Catt are a firm feature in the homes life enrichment programme as very popular with our residents. We look forward to their next performance!

Exercising the body & mind - Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Rose Lodge. Residents recently took advantage of a seated exercise class.

As part of the homes life enrichment programme, we include firm favourites in the homes calendar with fun-filled adapted games that they played over the years in a safe environment!

Our home was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and bunting in recognition of Mother’s Day and all the mothers in our home.  During the day, we arranged individual flowers for our female residents and enjoyed discussing the role of mothers and reminiscing sessions about our residents’ childhoods.

Our residents got creative and made their own flower bouquets and flower frames, as they enjoyed a variety of yummy sweet and savoury treats.    There were smiles all around the home.
