Activities at Sherwood Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinator is constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. We have regular outings in the mini bus to nearby places of interest including local garden centres and parks as well as musicians and entertainers. We also hold bingo evenings which are helped out by our residents families. We also have a local pub nearby which the residents enjoy visiting from time to time for a spot of lunch or sitting in the gardens in the summer time. We try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests as best is possible. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Sherwood Lodge Care Home
Visit to Blackpool
Who can spot the tower?!
Residents Trevor, Mary , Annie and June certainly did when last night they went off out on their travels to the world famous Blackpool Illuminations.
They all had a marvellous time seeing the lights in all their glory and the trams lit up too.
Halloween!
What a fabulous Halloween its been today.
themed music playing throughout the day, home decorations in place and the General Manager and staff dressing for the part.
And the day has been topped off by our special little visitors.
Our Senior staff member Amy's children came into our home specially this evening to trick or treat our residents and involve them in the festivities.
Our residents loved seeing their costumes and adding sweets to their buckets and they certainly put the biggest of smiles on our residents faces.
Autumnal Walk
Pauline's been out on a lovely autumnal walk this afternoon.
Pauline had an idea whilst out walking today to collect some of the fallen leaves to dry them out and do some leaf painting with the other residents tomorrow.
Brilliant idea Pauline!
A Visit from the Hairdresser
Nothing pleases our ladies more than a visit to the salon to have Angela work her magic on their locks each week.
The joy this brings to our residents each week is clear to see with smiles as beautiful as they are.
We all take a visit to hairdressers for granted, but to our residents, having a salon within our home is a lifeline to what they would of enjoyed in the community whilst living in their own homes.
Just beautiful!
Summer Fun
Residents donned their sun cream and had a lovely afternoon in the garden and made good use of 'Emma's Place'.....our lovely new garden gazebo.
They had lots of refreshments and a good old natter while enjoying the fresh air.
Maureen thoroughly enjoyed sitting out in the sun with her favourite tipple.
Dancing to the Golden Oldies
We have been getting our groove on today at Sherwood Lodge.
We have had an afternoon of golden oldies performed by Dave Odlum, which has had us all up on our feet.
Music is food for the soul, and our residents, staff and visitors thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
