Activities at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Our dedicated activities team are constantly dreaming up new and wonderful ways to support and stimulate the residents we look after. From trips to crafts, parties to skittles, musical performances and quizzes, we include something for everyone and pride ourselves on including everyone into the fun. We have a brilliant team of volunteers who help us to deliver more trips, support us at events and pop in for a cup of tea and chat. We have pet therapy at least once per week (sometimes twice!) and we take advantage of every school break by holding large scale events that we can invite families with children to. We have been developing ties with our neighbours since we first opened and thanks to this, we have successfully brought together our residents with local churches, choirs, Brownies groups, and schools. Whatever your interests are, here at Braeburn, there's something for everyone.
Dee Tugluer
My name is Dee Tugluer and I am the Activities Coordinator for Braeburn Lodge. I have been working in the care sector for almost a year and half. Prior to my job in the home I worked in the design sector and marketing for over twenty years. I also took a short break from my career to take care of my children and did so some volunteer work for my local community, schools and charities.
I really enjoy working for Braeburn as I have built a good relationship with all our residents. I love to make everyone feel happy and content, and get excited to plan and implement a beneficial Life Enrichment programme for our home.

Tai Chi Sessions at Braeburn Lodge
We had a fantastic turnout at this month’s Tai Chi session with Ray. Everyone put in their all and we were all feeling fresh and in high spirits by the end of the gentle exercise. We even did a moment of meditation to end, which put smiles on everyone’s faces, thinking of the most beautiful place we knew or could imagine. We all look forward to next month’s session with Ray!
Boundary Restaurant Treat
On the 23rd March we shook things up a bit and went to the Boundary restaurant for lunch for some award-winning fish and chips. The proprietor was ever so kind and helpful. We made a decision right then and there to make this a monthly treat!
Easter Sunday with Braeburn Lodge
On Easter Sunday, we took a trip to our local Church, the Priory in Deeping St James and celebrated Easter with our local community. The Church looked beautiful, full of lovely yellow flowers and the hymns put cheer into our hearts!
St Patrick's Day
Residents at Braeburn were in for a special treat this St Patricks Day with a visit from HMS Welland, a fabulous local singing group who wowed us with Irish Sea Shanties and some popular classics that we all joined in with. We flooded the halls with the sounds of our voices and after a tea break we were ready for more! A truly fabulous way to celebrate St Patricks day, a massive thank you to HMS Welland from all of us!
Getting Busy in the Kitchen
The residents on Memory Lane rolled up their sleeves and helped out with lunch today by chopping and peeling our vegetables. A wonderful job was done and they tasted fabulous after the chef worked his magic in the kitchen!
