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
Canine Carnival
We were thrilled to recently present a cheque for £200 to the Hearing Dog for Deaf People charity The money was raised at our last open day and it was lovely for the residents to meet and enjoy these wonderful animals again.
Farm Day
On Saturday we were thrilled to host Mill Cottage Farm and their wonderful animals. The residents enjoyed interacting with donkeys, sheep, pigs, chickens and goats. The goats turned out to be most helpful in trimming some of bushes! We were also able to fund raise for our nominated charity, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
Armed Forces Day
Armed Forces Day is a chance to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community. This year, Shelburne Lodge hosted the Royal British Legion, who provided a presentation showing all the fantastic work the organisation does. The residents were also entertained by Fiona Harrison and enjoyed singing along to many of the old classic hits. In a final tribute, the residents made their own medals and these were displayed on the activities tree.
Best Friend Day
In celebration of Best Friend Day, the residents at Shelburne Lodge have been busy reminiscing about friends, past and present. In tribute to this special day, hearts were created and residents given the opportunity to remember a particular attribute of that person. They enjoyed placing these on our friendship tree and sharing these with staff, families and, of course, friends!
