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
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!
Braeburn Lodge's Monthly Tai Chi Classes
The first of this year’s monthly Tai Chi Classes went off with a bang today. We had a full room with more than 10 residents participating and everyone was feeling energized and relaxed by the end of the lesson. Ray’s demonstrations were also superb and we were in for quite a shock when Ray managed to kick his foot over his head! Safe to say everyone earned their lunch today and we can’t wait to do it again next month!
New Guest Visit to Braeburn Lodge
Everyone was transfixed with the beautiful tones he coaxed from his harp and staff gazed on through the window, transfixed by the harmonious sounds. The residents and staff were in for a surprise when John started performing classics like “Bull and Bush”, “Dilly Dally”, and “1, 2, 3, 4, 4 o’clock Rock”! Requests were called out and John was only too happy to oblige, performing a range of genres from classical to war songs to famous ballads. Safe to say, all of us here at Braeburn can’t wait for his next performance!
Ruth Carlton Returns
Everyone at Braeburn Lodge welcomed back Ruth Carlton to help us loosen up and stretch. We particularly enjoyed the large yellow smiley face balloon which we hit around the room!
Trip to Ferry Meadows
The residents from Braeburn Lodge braved the cold winters weather by a stroll alongside the boating lake at Ferry Meadows. It was good walking weather, fresh, dry and still. We treated ourselves to something warm from the lakeside café before heading back.
