Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

To celebrate Dementia Action Week, our residents participated in various activities. We had planned to go for a memory walk, but the weather was not favourable. Instead, we enjoyed a delicious cream tea in the afternoon. We also had a session of exercise with Jake from Mind Body and Soul, who always brings a lot of energy and joy to our residents. He also took the time to chat with them and listen to their stories.

One of the highlights of the week was painting pebbles with our own designs and messages. We then placed them in our memory lane garden, for all to enjoy.

Residents and loved ones enjoyed listening to Roger discuss the changes made to Wisbech over the decades. His beautiful presentation of the old and new combined with his own memories, sparked delightful conversations all day between residents.

Hillary  shared how much the town had changed to what it is now  as well as many others about the sweet shops and seeing the horse and cart.

We'd like to thank Roger for volunteering his time and hosting a beautiful presentation. If anyone would like to support him, he's raising money for the Magas Air Ambulance and you can donate her

An old fashioned English favourite of fish and chips served in union jack boats was a lunch time delight prepared by our chef. It was a wonderful day which had residents reminiscing about their memories of the late queen and the celebrations of all her jubilee’s and the fantastic pageantry of our royal family. Residents also enjoyed entertainment by KJ & the Catt . The songs they both sang so brilliantly reflected the King and our Great British spirit. Residents enjoyed the morning. We also enjoyed a buffet tea street party lovely food peppered by kitchen staff lovely evening held by all.

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

Residents and  staff at rose lodge got into the Easter celebrations. Each day we had arts and crafts going on for Easter. We made Easter bonnets, Easter bunny house, Easter wreaths and of course we had an Easter raffle. With all the money raised going to our 'Resident's fund'.

Thank you to Debbie with your arts and crafts.

Here at rose lodge we have the incredible eggs; uplifting joyous and magical hatching ducks. We had 5 duck eggs and 4 of them have hatched into lovely ducklings. Residents have been watching the ducklings hatch. They said its amazing that a duck hatched from a small egg. Staff have been holding the ducks. They have grown so quick over the days. Our residents ask every morning "has another duck hatched?"
