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!

Life at Rose Lodge Care Home
National Alzheimer's Day and Memory Lane grand Opening
Rose Lodge Care has had a lot to celebrate of late with the unveiling of its new Memory Lane Dementia Care Community.
To mark the special occasion the home organised a special Afternoon Tea for the home’s residents, relatives and community friends to coincide with National Alzheimer’s Day.
The community opening marks the completion of a significant investment and extensive refurbishment at Rose Lodge including bright new Lounges, homely Bedrooms and a beautiful Dining Room too! The new community also showcases the very best in interior design for those living with Dementia in turn promoting reminiscence and reflection in a warm and friendly environment that Barchester Healthcare is renowned for.
Megan Jones – General Manager said, “This is a very special moment for all of our residents and team here at Rose Lodge Care Home and we all agreed that National Alzheimer’s Day would be the perfect day to launch our new Memory Lane Dementia Care community. We have had amazing feedback from our current residents and delighted to also have a state of the art Magic Table which is proven to increase physical and social interactions through sensory stimulation and relaxation too!”
Jane Ritchie the Activities Coordinator at Rose Lodge added, “The new community really is stunning and the celebratory Afternoon Tea was such a lovely way to open it as we came together to raise money for National Alzheimer’s Day. I know the whole team and I are very much looking forward to welcoming support groups in and around Wisbech to use our Magic Table. And later in the year we will be welcoming our very own Dementia Care Specialist Deena Heaney MBE to host an Understanding Dementia Care session for our community friends too!”

A Day By The Seaside
Our residents, relatives and staff had a splendid day as our beautiful home gardens at Rose Lodge were expertly transformed into a ‘Day by the Seaside’ by our Activities Coordinator Jane and team.
There was lots of fun, games, live music from our friends KJ and the Catt and Sean the Banjo Man. Everyone certainly enjoyed their Fish & Chips too of course!
Kitty, our resident - who is 101 years said, “ It really was a super day and reminded me of when I used to take my children to the beach to play. We would take Sandwiches, a Flask, Cakes and spend the whole day there as it really was a treat!”
