Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Our residents and colleagues were thrilled to participate as guests in the Rosmini Community Centre's weekly arts program. 

The centre extends an invitation to local seniors and anyone looking to enjoy communal activities to attend their complimentary art classes. 

Located on Queens Road in Wisbech, the sessions are held on Tuesday mornings starting at 10 am. Attendees can indulge in various crafts, watercolour, and acrylic painting, while also connecting with fellow carers and seniors in the community.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.

Joining homes and community groups up and down the country, we hosted our Macmillan Coffee Morning. 

We welcomed back the amazing KJ and the Catt to entertain us all for our morning festivities. 

Residents, family and our colleagues sang and danced the morning away while enjoying several pots of fresh coffee-such a lovely smell-and some beautiful cakes, baked or donated by staff. 

The joy on the faces of Wendy and Vera as they danced with Dan was a delight to see. 

Jean surprised us all by taking to the floor with Dan’s microphone and belting out some classic country. Cheryl, Our wonderful Volunteer, commented on the fun that we all had- and all in a good cause.

As part of Alzheimer's Awareness month and World Alzheimer's Day we welcomed popular entertainers, KJ and the Catt to perform.  The sung a medley of hits taking us down memory lane for an afternoon of singing and dancing to some of our favourite songs.

Residents enjoyed dancing to the music with Vera, saying “she always used to go dancing and the sounds brought back many fond memories”. 

After all the singing and dancing, we enjoyed a very special afternoon tea especially prepared by our homes hospitality team.  We would also like to thank ‘Flowers by Maddie Goodie’ for the beautiful and colourful bespoke bouquets and for generously donating a boxed flower arrangement to our raffle to raise funds for this worthy cause.
