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.

Baking on Pippin Lane

Baking on Pippin Lane

We warmed ourselves up on Pippin Lane this week doing baking!

We didn’t follow a recipe but we had flour, butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla and just went with our instincts and the result was a very tasty cookie!

Christmas Eve at Braeburn Lodge

Christmas Eve at Braeburn Lodge

The residents were visited by a lovely young boy named Connor. He came with an overflowing bag full of gifts for the residents and handed them out to everyone in the dining room. This card is our thank you card to Connor, full of lovely messages from the residents, thanking him for his generosity and kind spirit.
