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
Christmas Wishes
Our residents at Sherwood Lodge we have been getting in the Christmas spirit.
Our residents and staff were asked…”If you could have one wish for Christmas, what would it be?”
Some of their wishes were so lovely, let’s hope Santa is watching over us to help make our wishes come true.
Coffee Morning
Our residents love going to the coffee morning each Tuesday at our local Evangelist Church. Our residents really enjoy meeting up with members of the local community, as well as our sister home Sherwood Court, for a good old natter over a hot cuppa, cake and biscuits.
Fitness Session with Angelica
At Sherwood Lodge we were joined by the lovely Angelica from G Fitness and Well Being .
Angelica visited the home and provided some armchair fitness for our residents, helping them to keep their bodies stimulated and supple.
Angelica came armed with ribbons, soft balls and some amazing music to get us all moving in our seats.

Congratulations to our 2nd chef Nanaki who was presented with her 15 year service award today. Nanaki started working at Sherwood Lodge in 2008 as a kitchen assistant. Nanaki has now progressed to 2nd chef, making delicious home cooked meals for our residents.
Throughout her 15 years Nanaki has worked hard to get to where she is today, we are all so grateful to have you on our team. Thank you Nanaki for your dedication, here’s to another 15 years.
Residents enjoy chinese banquet
Our Residents spoke and we listened! Residents said they would like a themed dinner and that’s exactly what we provided....with a Chinese restaurant style evening. Residents have got involved and busied themselves over the last week making Chinese lanterns and decorations while our head chef David planned a special Chinese menu, and it has been a huge success this evening.
From chicken noodle and sweetcorn soup and spring rolls to Chinese chicken and beef and peppers in oyster sauce, served with rice, noodles and Chinese style vegetables, and of course prawn crackers. It has been so successful we will be hosting a different themed evening each month.
Eyes down for themed bingo
Some of our residents have “bingo’in” mad for our animal bingo this week.
Eyes down for a full house!!
