Activities at Hazel 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.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Hazel Lodge Care Home
Tour De Barchester Visit
Our residents welcomed the cyclists that are completing the Tour De Barchester.
Over four days, from June 6th- 9th, a team of Barchester staff cycled a mammoth 276 miles from Exeter to Purley, stopping at 15 care homes across Barchester’s South division to meet well-wishers, have a well-earned break and refuel before continuing on their way.
Their aim was to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation which supports older people and other adults living with a disability or mental health problems by helping them to connect or re-connect with others in their local communities.
Well done to you all from Hazel Lodge
Fathers Day
A time to reflect and remember our fathers .
Move it or Lose it
There were lots of smiles and laughter in our Move it or Lose It session with Lucy. We all know exercise is good for our physical and mental wellbeing , top that with a fit of the giggles and there's no stopping us !
Intergenerational Opera
We are really excited to be buddying up with Battle Abbey School to take part in a intergenerational singing project to bring older and younger people together . The project is run by Charlotte Wicks of Intergenerational Opera and runs over a 5 week period, with the children from the school visiting the residents at Hazel Lodge every Friday to learn the story of Hansel & Gretel in song . The original fairytale written by The Brothers Grimm was adapted into an opera by composer Engelbert Humperdinck and was first performed in Germany in1893 .
Each week we learn the songs together and recreate this wonderful story , with twit-twoos , hoots and howls. At the end of the 5 weeks the children and residents will bring together everything they have learnt and put on a final performance for their families at Hazel Lodge.
