Activities at Emily Jackson House Care Home
Our activities team continues to offer a wide range of activities to both mentally and physically stimulate our residents. Our activities include one to one shopping, group outings in our minibus, and regularly attending our local church and bowling club. We also enjoy the entertainment from the musicians who come and visit us as well as our PAT dog. We have a range of activities so residents with all abilities and talents can join in activities and social gatherings. We encourage families and volunteers to share the joy with us by taking part in our social events as well.

Mini Bus Trip to the Pub
We took our minibus out for a spin recently and headed off our local for a few cool drinks. It was a fun day out and both residents and staff alike seemed to enjoy themselves.
Summer Fete
The bad weather didn't stop us from having a good time here at Rose Lodge. There was heavy rain, so we held our Summer Fete inside. The Mayor came to open the event and stayed until the end. Everyone had a lovely day and we enjoyed music by Trudie.
A Busy Week for Emily Jackson
This past week we have kept ourselves busy; residents enjoyed a relaxing colouring therapy session as well as some Music for Health activities to help keep themselves fit.
Talks with Nigel
Nigel paid us a visit yo give us a presentation about the Queen. This was concluded by playing the National Anthem, which the residents promptly stood proud for.
Minibus Trip to Notcutts Garden Centre
We had a great visit to Notcutts Garden Centre. Residents had a lovely time looking at all the beautiful scenery, and we finished the day with some tea and coffee in the cafe.
