Activities at Edingley Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Edingley Lodge Care Home
Vegetable Gardening at Edingley Lodge
This morning some of our residents took the opportunity to head out into the garden to plant a variety of vegetables and fruit in our sensory garden.
We can’t wait to see what the garden will look like in a couple of months’ time! Our aim is to create an outdoor safe space for our residents filled with sounds, scents and textures that will help stimulate all the 5 senses.
Lovely bubbly as we celebrate English Wine Week
This year, English Wine Week takes place from June 17th to 25th and is being celebrated by wine enthusiasts from all over the country. It was certainly a week of fun-filled tastings for the staff and residents at Edingley Lodge care home in Newark, Edingley.
Whether you love a glass of fizz, a nice dry white, a delicate rosé, a juicy red or all of the above, English Wine Week is the perfect excuse to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of English wines. It is no longer unusual to see fields of vines in England, or to find English brands on the wine list in restaurants, English wines are now a force to be reckoned with.

National Beer Day
You better beer-lieve that residents at Edingley Lodge care home were more than happy to raise a glass, and sample some top craft ales, bitters and lagers, in celebration of National Beer Day on June 15th.
The hospitality team at Edingley Lodge set up a bar for a real pub experience and brought in a range of brew-tiful British ales for residents to sample. Residents and their visitors enjoyed a beer tasting in the garden, virtual tour of a local brewery, learning about the history of beer they sampled the different craft ales, bitters and lagers.
Historic Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
