Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time exploring the Eden Project virtually - an educational charity and visitor attraction based in Cornwall, featuring sprawling outdoor gardens and breathtaking biomes that house the largest indoor rainforest in the world.

During the session, residents who joined were reconnected with nature through their senses, memories and stories.  A big thank you to the community team at the Eden Project for the wonderful event.

We got moving and put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ with amazing activities, parachute games, garden strolls and bean bag  to raise money for Baychester’s Charitable Foundation.

Last year, the Foundation achieved a donation milestone of £225,000 which enabled the charity to provide vital help to a staggering 160 small groups and charities, plus 87 individuals, in one year alone.

We had the most wonderful time fundraising and were thrilled to be joined by family, friends and local community members. Every time the ball dropped each game player asked a question from the ball which made it even more interesting, things like what’s your favourite colour, what was your favourite toy....

We love our pet therapy visits here at Rose Lodge with our four-legged friend, Tiger. The visits spark beautiful memories of past pets and the companionship they provided.

Twice a month Tizzy brings her therapy dog, Tiger into meet and greet the residents, listen to their own pet stories and share Tigers latest adventures. These delightful visits provide relaxation and an opportunity to natter and share important life stories.

Maria said, "I had a Golden Labrador called Jock. I adored him ever so much". Our residents look forward to giving tiger his treat

Staff and residents had a fantastic time visiting Wisbech Park Pavilion where they all enjoyed the first glimpse of this month’s warmer weather coming in. 

Residents and staff had a brilliant time taking a stroll around the park and enjoying tea, coffee and cake from the on-site café.

Activities Co-ordinator, Jane said: “We absolutely love being able to take our residents out and about to visit the park pavilion, it makes us so happy to be able to access venues like this.  It has been a fantastic day and we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”

Elizabeth, resident at Rose Lodge said: “The Park was just a short ride in the mini bus and was such a lovely place to enjoy our drinks and just watch the world go by”

Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.

Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.

It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.

Rose Lodge enjoyed a visit from March and District Model Railway Club on Tuesday the 14th of May. Staff, residents and guests enjoyed observing Keith set up the model trains and railway lines and even got involved with coupling and uncoupling different train carriages.

One resident, Bill, reminisced about the trains he used to build years ago, Keith and the team said they would kindly donate him a train set so that he could enjoy building his own again.

Rose Lodge has built up an excellent reputation in its local communities. The home regularly holds events and activities for its residents and surrounding neighbours.
