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
Flower Power
Residents have been busy arranging beautiful Christmas floral centrepieces. These will be displayed throughout our dining rooms to be enjoyed by all the residents.
Cares & Prayers
Another busy morning at Braeburn Lodge; each resident had a personal Skype session with our local Reverend for Cares and Prayers day.
World Kindness Day
For World Kindness Day, John Lewis donated some lovely gifts for our residents and staff to enjoy. Thank you from everyone at Braeburn Lodge!
Halloween Colouring
Although we could not have trick or treaters visiting our home this year, we still wanted to engage with our local community, so we held a colouring competition for the local children. We were so grateful for all the entries and our residents judged the competition. Because they were all so fantastic, we struggled to choose the overall winner! The above picture is the winning entry. We all hope you had a spooktacular Halloween.
Pumpkin Carving
Residents are getting ready for Halloween by carving pumpkins into spooky shapes. We have placed them all over the home and they look brilliant!
Giant Snakes & Ladders
What is a better way to beat the boredom on a rainy afternoon than a giant game of snakes and ladders? The residents enjoyed playing a giant version of the traditional game that was large enough for everyone to get involved!
