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!

Hello, my name is Jane and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Rose Lodge and I have been here since 2010 .
My role is to engage and stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. I want to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that I am passionate about, It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we do with them. We enjoy creating new and special memories together.

Life at Rose Lodge Care Home
Harvest Service
On the 8th October, we held our Harvest Festival Service. Our local church sadly couldn't come in due to current circumstances, but they were lovely enough to send us a script and a number of hymns.
We also had our relative advocate play his violin to accompany the hymns over Skype.
Food items were collected in the home and this will go to the food bank in Wisbech.
All the residents had a lovely time, singing the hymns and chatting about Harvest Festivals from the residents' past. We also got to try the bread wreath we had made earlier in the week.
A Morning of Fun
On the morning of Monday 28th September, residents enjoyed a variety of games and puzzles.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Residents and staff joined in and got together for coffee and cake on 17th September to help raise money for MacMillan Coffee Morning. Thank you to everyone who donated!
Knit & Natter
On September 10th, residents joined in knit & natter, knitting squares to make blankets. Our residents use the blankets when they have a garden visits from loved ones.
Bird Watching
On the sixth of August we went outside into our garden to do a bit of bird watching. We took a bird guide, two pairs of binoculars and, of course, snacks.
Animal Bingo
