Activities at Sherwood Lodge Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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.

Afternoon Tea

 A Special Afternoon of Tea, Treats & Togetherness 
Yesterday was one for the memory books! Our Residents were delighted to share afternoon tea with pupils from Our Ladies School .What a fantastic heart-warming afternoon filled with chatter, cake, and connection. 
From sharing stories to enjoying scones and sandwiches, generations came together in the most joyful way. Seeing smiles on both young and older faces reminded us just how powerful intergenerational friendship can be.

We Get Moving!

Residents have started to get moving this week starting with Ring Toss.
Not only promoting hand eye coordination and exercising a competive streak .....Ring Toss gets the arms and shoulder joint moving.
Arm exercises improve flexibility and mobility in the shoulders and arms, making it easier to move around and participate in activities for our elderly and less mobile residents.

There was music and singing, dancing and swinging and of course lots of laughter with his comedy edge.
Residents were up on their feet along with staff and thoroughly enjoyed dancing their hearts out.

VE Day celebrations

On May 8th 1945, celebrations erupted around the world to mark the end of World War 2 in Europe.
Today we held our own VE day celebrations at Sherwood Lodge, with residents gathering to remember, reminisce and celebrate.

Our dining room was set up beautifully by our amazing activities' coordinator, Selina, and host Pam. And a delicious spread was made by our talented chef Nanaki. We listened to music of the era and printed out old photos to spark conversations about what our residents could remember.  

A lovely afternoon was had by all.

Sherwood Lodge would like to extend a massive Thank you to the Preston Show Choir who kindly came to sing for our residents today.

Our residents sat and watched in awe at the beauty of your music. You have surely brightened up their week with your angelic voice. Music always helps make us all feel uplifted, and boosts our wellbeing, which has definitely been needed.

Do you like good music?

We certainly do and so do our residents.

Today we had Ian in the home performing and filling the air with songs and music from all eras. We had a good old sing song and our residents and staff's dancing shoes were firmly on.
