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.

Southwell Workhouse Trip
residents enjoyed a trip to Southwell workhouse, They had a lovely time looking around with a guided tour, It was really interesting to find out the history behind the workhouse and how things have changed over the years, and of course we finished the trip off with a hot drink and cake, The Workhouse was built in 1824 as a place of last resort for the destitute. Its architecture was influenced by prison design and its harsh regime became a blueprint for workhouses throughout the country. Nightingale and other social reformers slowly began to raise awareness of the need for better conditions in which to treat the sick,.
Sports Day
staff and residents at Edingley Lodge took part in a range of different sports day activities, We had the traditional egg & spoon race, tug of war, races, bean bag throwing, and of course penalty shoot out to celebrate England's win on the weekend for Euro 2024!We all had a lovely afternoon finished off with a refreshing cool ice-cream,
Sports days are events staged by many schools and offices in which people participate in competitive sporting activities, often with the aim of winning trophies or prizes.
