Activities at Rose 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.
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!

Life at Rose Lodge Care Home
Time for tea
Residents enjoyed their creative morning with Debbie from Gratitude 43. This is a popular group activity and residents were busy cutting and designing their tea pots, the theme was ‘time for tea’.
It was a perfect way to start the day before enjoying an afternoon cream tea as they proudly looked at the colourful display for all to see.
World Chocolate Day
We revelled in all things sweet for World Chocolate Day with a range of chocolatey activities. Our residents enjoyed an exciting where they had the chance to try different chocolate bars from all over the world.
In the afternoon, we took part in themed quiz, tasted our delicious treats and had a discussion about all things chocolate. A wonderful day was had by all.
Gardening club
Residents of Rose Lodge have been busy growing their own plants and vegetables as part of the homes gardening club and life enrichment programme and residents were delighted with their recent crop of produce!
The club have also been busy painting the fence a bright colour, staff have also been involved with the potting of plants, mint and cutting the lavender to make their own lavender bags for their rooms.
Hockey competiton
Residents at Rose Lodge enjoy a varied life enrichment programme to keep the mind, body and soul active. Today there was lots of laughter and a little friendly competitiveness as we played table hockey scoring as many goals as we could.
It was a whole team approach as members of the care team joined in the fun! But who was our winner?
Do you like a puzzle?
Do you like a good puzzle? – we do. For one of our residents, Peter this is a very special hobby as each puzzle completed is part of his life’s history and has a special meaning to him. Once they are completed they are framed for him by his niece, Jo so that he can look at them each day. There is always a story behind each puzzle.
We encourage and support our residents to retain their interests, hobbies and daily lifestyle preferences to continue pursuing the things they have always enjoyed? They are also invited to join new activities and make friends along the way.
Father's Day
We marked Father’s Day in style with a very special lunch in honour of all fathers. Some of our residents met their loved ones in the garden and our home, others enjoyed video calls with their family and friends. We all took part in various activities from a fun filled Karaoke session as we raised the roof with our vocal range with KJ and the Catt.
