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.

Flower Arranging at Braeburn Lodge
The ladies got busy helping make our centre pieces for our one year anniversary party and put together some stunning arrangements that really completed the party! Who knew the residents at Braeburn Lodge had such flower arranging experts!
Zoolab comes to Braeburn Lodge
We invited family and friends, residents and volunteers for this special guest visit. We had a Ranger come to introduce to us a wonderful selection of creatures in this creature-handling experience. Prickles the hedgehog was a favourite with a brilliant hoover impression as she gobbled down her mealworms. Joining Prickles was Colin the corn snake, Rosie the tarantula and Princess the rat. There was even a tree frog who demonstrated her brilliant sticky skills by sticking to the wall! There were a lot of questions from the audience and everybody had a fantastic time.
Holy Communion
Rev Linda Visited the residents at Braeburn Lodge today and gave Holy Communion and Blessings to all. We ended the visit with a lovely sharing of histories where we all learned something new about each other.
Le Boule Competition
The competition heated up as we battled for the title of Le Boule Champion. There we several moments of incredulity as the would-be winners were knocked out of place at the last minute and there were some truly outstanding throws that had the balls touching!
Trip Out for Coffee
The residents from Braeburn Lodge recently took a trip out for coffee as there was a little break in the bad weather! The residents enjoyed the winter sun and traveled to the 'Inside Out' shop for some coffee and biscuits.
Valentines Tree
The residents from Braeburn Lodge recently started making their Valentine's Tree. There was lots of glitter, pink and many hearts flying around as everyone in the home got into the spirit of love!
