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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Sherwood Lodge Care Home
Our newest family member
Staff and residents had a lovely surprise.
Our newest addition to the Sherwood family paid us a wonderful visit.
The beautiful Freya is just 3 weeks old and is the newest addition to our very valued carer Beth’s family.
As you can see we were all overjoyed to have cuddles.
Keeping up with Current Affairs
Some of our residents have been catching up with world news and current affairs. Our residents like to keep up to date with what is going on in the world and have their newspapers delivered daily the home so they can do just that.
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.
