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
Halloween
Residents enjoyed participating in Halloween themed activities with the help from children from the local community, They loved seeing the children in their Halloween costumes, Everyone got involved with decorating cupcakes, arts and crafts and of course eating lot's of sweets!
Halloween has been around for more than a thousand years. Originally a religious observance, it became increasingly secular over the centuries until its religious trappings all but disappeared. Today Halloween is considered a holiday for dress up and fun, especially for children.

Autumnal Crafts
At Edingley Lodge, creativity has taken centre stage recently, with residents enjoying a range of hands-on activities designed to keep their minds sharp and their spirits high.
From flower arranging to pumpkin decorating, these fun and engaging sessions are not only a great way to bring a splash of colour to the home but also play a vital role in supporting our residents’ mental and physical wellbeing.

Art Class At Edingley Lodge
Here at Edingley Lodge we understand the value and positive impact arts have on health and wellbeing and we always aim to champion, promote and encourage arts engagement within the home. Yesterday we welcomed Graham Loughton from Edwinstowe art class into our home to hold a art class for our residents,
Some of our residents are familiar with Graham as they attend his art class in Edwinstowe weekly. Residents really enjoyed the afternoon with Graham and created some fine-looking masterpieces.
