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.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Hymm Singing at Braeburn
This afternoon we had a lovely service lead by Rev Linda with readings from the Bible and hymns centred around Candlemas to celebrate this time of year.
Trudi Mason Visits
Today we were lucky to have a special visit from Trudi Mason, a fantastic, lively, cheery pianist and singer who got everyone smiling, clapping, singing and dancing. We were certainly warm after all of that dancing and everyone left in great cheer (and ready for a snooze!)
Ball Games
Today the residents at Braeburn exercised their motor skills with a competitive game of basketball. But that wasn’t enough for us! We then exercised our brains with a winter themed quiz. We worked up quite the appetite between the two and, as always, rewarded ourselves with cup of coffee and slice of homemade cake.
Keeping Warm at Braeburn...
The residents at Braeburn kept themselves warm on this chilly winter Saturday by heating up the competition in a game of skittles. After a couple of warm up shots, we got into the full swing of things and by the end of the game we all had at least one strike to our name. Those coffees were definitely well deserved!
Trip to Eventus Business Centre
The residents took a trip to the Oasis café today, located in the Eventus Business centre on the outskirts of town. It was unchartered territory for us out in the Northfields industrial estate but what a find! We had lovely pots of tea and frothy Cappuccinos to warm us up on this chilly day and we even indulged in a platter of biscuits. We look forward to visiting again!
Another Cafe..!
Today Braeburn Lodge residents had a shopping trip around Tesco followed by a visit to the new Hideout coffee shop, part of the inside out store in Market Deeping. At Tesco, we loaded up with fresh flowers and clementine’s and after walking around such a large store, we definitely earned our cappuccino’s and custard creams! It was a lovely surprise how such an out-of-the-way coffee shop could be so luxurious and we thoroughly enjoyed our rest and warm drinks!
