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
A Bit of Gloomy Gardening
The residents decided that, no matter what the weather was like, they were going to do some gardening! So, we put sheets down on the floor and gardened inside because of how grey and gloomy it was outside. They potted various plants whilst chatting over cups of tea, coffee and squash, sharing their gardening memories and stories. The plants have since been transferred into the garden.
Mothers Day
The residents at Shelburne Lodge got out their artisitc skills this Mothers Day as they got creating their own home-made cards!
Gardening Afternoon
The residents at Shelburne have recently been making the most of that little sunshine we have been having! They have been planting sunflower seeds and naming them as they go along to see who's grows the tallest!
'The Balloon Man'
The resident from Shelburne Lodge have been entertained by special visitor 'Henry, the Balloon Man' who incorporates gentle excercises with a giant balloon and music!
Garden Centre Visit
The residents from Shelburne Lodge enjoyed visiting Worlds End Garden Centre over Christmas for a spot of shopping and exploring the grotto. The residents had a lovely afternoon and found the grotto magical! They all enjoyed a hot tasty lunch in the restaurant and bought some goodies from the different shops! They cannot wait for the Spring so they can go back and look at the new flowers!
Armchair Zumba
Armchair Zumba has recently come to Shelburne Lodge, the music is invigorating and the instructor is lovely. All the residents who participated really enjoyed it and sessions are now booked on a fortnightly basis!
