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!
Jane Ritchie
Hello, my name is Jane and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Rose Lodge and I have been here since 2010 .
My role is to engage and stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. I want to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that I am passionate about, It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we do with them. We enjoy creating new and special memories together.

100th Birthday Celebrations
On 8th March, a resident celebrated his 100 Birthday. He had a Zoom visit with the station commander at RAF Marham and also received a framed photo of the new lighting aircraft from them.
Pizza Day
On the 18th February, we had our pizza day and, in the morning, the residents made and decorated their own pizzas with a wide variety of toppings. In the afternoon, our local Dominoes donated a pizza for the residents to try out.
Pancake Day
On 16th February, residents and staff took part flipping pancakes, having lots of fun.
Valentine's Bouquet
The residents of Rose Lodge made a bouquet of fabric flowers to be put on display for Valentine’s Day. They're beautiful!
Flower Day
On 18th January, we celebrated National Flower Day by having flower quizzes and arts and crafts sessions, where residents could either colour in some pictures or make fabric flowers that we will later turn into brooches.
Australia Day
On the 21st January, we honoured Australia Day, where we listened to Australian aboriginal music and made a boomerang collage using pictures we had either coloured in or cut out. One resident found colouring in really soothing and was very proud of their work.
