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
Summer Fair & BBQ
We recently had our annual Summer Fair & BBQ; residents, visitors and staff indulged in the chocolate fountains, fruit cocktails, homemade cakes, burgers and various stalls. In the afternoon, residents and visitors were entertained by Elvis tribute, Gary Roman, who they enjoyed greatly! A good day was had by all.
Zoolab Visits Shelburne
Shelburne recently enjoyed a visit from Zoolab, who brought along a rat, giant snails, cockroaches, stick insects, a corn snake and a bearded dragon called Puff. Zoolab took their lovely critters around the home, so all residents had the opportunity to interact with different animals. Puff, the bearded dragon, loved having her chin rubbed and was a great success with all the residents.
DIY Project
Residents have undertaken a new project: covering an old table in tiles which they are decorating themselves. The tiles will be attached to the table and varnished to make it waterproof and the table will then be used for outside activities. The residents have been able to enjoy the lovely sunshine and fresh air whilst painting and socialising together.
Tai Chi Sessions
Tai Chi is new to Shelburne Lodge, and the residents are really enjoying it. We have the sessions booked every 2 weeks.
Our Children's Area and Happy Tree
We recently installed a new children's area in the home, along with a 'happy tree' that will help you think happy thoughts.
Patriotic Cream Tea Party
On the 23rd April, we held our Patriotic Cream Tea Party. This was to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday and St George’s Day. There was an array of lovely cakes and scones that were served with cream and jam. Bus Pass To Broadway also came to entertain us.
As the photos show, everyone had a wonderful time - friends and family included!
