Activities at Rose Lodge Care Home

Joining homes and community groups up and down the country, we hosted our Macmillan Coffee Morning. 

We welcomed back the amazing KJ and the Catt to entertain us all for our morning festivities. 

Residents, family and our colleagues sang and danced the morning away while enjoying several pots of fresh coffee-such a lovely smell-and some beautiful cakes, baked or donated by staff. 

The joy on the faces of Wendy and Vera as they danced with Dan was a delight to see. 

Jean surprised us all by taking to the floor with Dan’s microphone and belting out some classic country. Cheryl, Our wonderful Volunteer, commented on the fun that we all had- and all in a good cause.

As part of Alzheimer's Awareness month and World Alzheimer's Day we welcomed popular entertainers, KJ and the Catt to perform.  The sung a medley of hits taking us down memory lane for an afternoon of singing and dancing to some of our favourite songs.

Residents enjoyed dancing to the music with Vera, saying “she always used to go dancing and the sounds brought back many fond memories”. 

After all the singing and dancing, we enjoyed a very special afternoon tea especially prepared by our homes hospitality team.  We would also like to thank ‘Flowers by Maddie Goodie’ for the beautiful and colourful bespoke bouquets and for generously donating a boxed flower arrangement to our raffle to raise funds for this worthy cause.

Councillor Sidney Imafidon told the home he takes great delight in meeting with and speaking to our seniors in and around the town and is a supporter of the care home community.

A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.

Everyone truly enjoyed the experience. 

In mid-September, the home initiated a new community-based networking group to bolster the town of Wisbech and its vicinity.

We were excited to host visiting professionals to explore collaborative ways to enhance the local community and provide assistance to those in dire need. It was a pleasure to have Hannah from Lyncroft Care Home, Jack from How Are You Fenland, and Shannon and Charlotte from the community team at Yorkshire Building Society join us.
