Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

The good life!

Residents of Rose Lodge have been busy growing their own plants, flowers and vegetables as part of the homes gardening club and life enrichment programme and residents were delighted with their recent crop of produce!

Residents have been busy planting some seedlings for their summer planters and decided to take advantage of a dry afternoon to re-pot them. We now have an anxious wait to see what happens – and hopefully identify what plants they are!

Knit and natter

Residents of Rose Lodge look forward to their weekly knit and natter club. Everyone is busy knitting squares to create a blanket. Residents are members of ‘Norfolk Knitters Club’ who often pop into see us and check in on our progress.

This popular group activity is a firm fixture on the homes life enrichment programme and they are joined by non-knitters who like to sort the wool and needles whilst chatting, sharing stories and enjoying a cup of tea.

Baking Club

Residents of Rose Lodge enjoy their regular ‘baking club’ and this week the recipe was ‘chocolate crispy cakes’ – who doesn’t love these!

Whilst mixing the chocolate, residents reminisced on their own baking sessions, cooking and baking with their Mother’s as children and how the best part was always licking the bowl at the end!

Art Historian virtual talk

Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.

Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.

Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.

Come sing!

We had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing virtual singing session for our residents to enjoy. Our residents were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina and ‘Save the Last Dance for Me’ by The Drifters.

There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

Dementia Action Week

To celebrate Dementia Action Week, residents of Rose Lodge participated in variety of activities. Whilst we had planned to go for a memory walk, the weather was not favourable! Not to dampen our spirits we enjoyed a delicious cream team especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.We kept fit together with a fun filled interactive session with Jake from Mind, Body and Soul who always brings a lot of energy and joy on his visits to the home.

We even showed our creative sides - painting pebbles with our own designs and messages and these are now proudly displayed around our raised flower beds in the memory lane garden for all to see!
