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.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Farewell Eric the Elf! Until Next Year...
Eric the Elf has spent the whole of December finding new places to hide each day. We had a farewell drink with Eric the Elf today. It's been 24 days of fun and mischief with him around the home and the residents have loved getting up in the mornings and seeing what he has got up to during the night. We all look forward to seeing him again next year!
Eric the Elf delivers our Christmas Cards from our Local Scouts!
