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
Fun at the Farm
Residents enjoyed a lovely day out at the local church farm on Wednesday 19th September. They even got to enjoy a delicious lunch before returning.
Llama Visit
Rose Lodge was full of animal mischief on 27th July, when a llama called Pharaoh came to visit the home.
Residents were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friend roaming around their garden as the team from the local farm introduced Pharaoh to them.
Pet Therapy
Residents enjoyed a visit from PAT dog Harvey. They always love feeding him treats and making a fuss of him – and he loves it too!
Horsin' Around
Residents had a lovely surprise visit from a horse recently; it brought a lot of smiles to their faces, as some residents hadn't seen one in a long time.
Live Entertainment
Residents enjoyed a sing along with Trudie on our recent bank holiday Monday; there was lots of singing and dancing. They also enjoyed a glass of sherry or two!
Birthday Celebrations
A resident at Rose Lodge celebrated his birthday with family and friends, along with The Banjo Man. The weather was good, so we celebrated in the garden and everyone had a lovely time.
