Activities at Shelburne 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 Shelburne Lodge Care Home
King's Coronation
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal Tea Party.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
Our talented Head of Housekeeping, Rachel prepared an assortment of delicious sweet treats and cakes for all that were present to enjoy !
We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.
Mother & Daughter Duet
Margaret and Suey enjoy playing the piano in the lounge at Shelburne lodge and the residents and staff love listening too.
Margaret Baker, resident at Shelburne Lodge and her daughter Suey have both played the piano since they were 8. Margaret, 94 years young has loved playing the piano for over 86 years and taught her daughter to play and read music.
They have been playing duets together for the past 10 years and even continued to duet through lock down when they played over facetime.
Thank you again to Wycombe Abbey for the wonderful piano you donated as you can see it's been put to good use.
Music & Movement
Seated mobility and exercise classes are always a favourite at Shelburne Lodge.
GI Fitness joined us and residents moved and stretched a long music to warm up. Then enjoyed playing games such as balloon tennis and finished the session with some gentle chair based exercise.
It was a really fun and energetic sessions and we are all feeling much stronger and fitter!
Musical Mondays
We are a very talented bunch here at Shelburne Lodge Care home.
Praise, who is one of the care support team at Shelburne lodge is a self taught musician. Praise can play a number of instruments including the piano and the guitar. He often plays the piano for residents and can be found in the lounge next to the restaurant playing before lunch.
He has been such a super hit we are booking him his very own weekly guest spot!
Why not come and hear him play next Tuesday around 11.30am.
Happy 70th wedding anniversary to Ruby and Leslie.
Happy 70th wedding anniversary to Ruby and Leslie.
Residents and team members held a party to celebrate Ruby and Leslies' 70th Wedding anniversary. This wedding anniversary is known as the platinum anniversary. Platinum is precious, strong, enduring and doesn't tarnish.
We asked Ruby what the key to a long and happy marriage is, Ruby said "A husband that doesn't argue!" Ruby also said "There is no point to arguing, we do everything together. We lived in the same village, went to school together and we have been together since."
We asked Leslie the same questions and he agreed with Ruby.
Congratulations Ruby and Leslie, we hope you enjoyed your special day.
