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

Nursery Visit
We were delighted to welcome back the little ones from our local nursery at Emneth.
We enjoyed the morning and thrilled the children and residents alike with a magic aqua painting activity. Our residents also engaged with the little ones and we also created a collection of autumn leaf patterns.
After we finished our designs we all enjoyed some refreshments along with some lovely cakes made by our head chef.
This particular visit was poignant for Elizabeth who reminisced about her time as a kindergarten teacher.

Wear It Pink Day
Our home joined in with celebrating Wear It Pink Day during Breast Cancer Awareness Month along with hundreds of thousands of other people across the UK raising valuable funds for breast cancer research.
Wear It Pink is a Breast Cancer awareness campaign which has so far raised more than £31.5million for breast cancer since the campaign started in 2002. Schools, businesses and families get together to eat, wear and make something pink in order to raise money for breast cancer.
The residents tucked into their favourite pink treats made by the home’s chef with help from friends, family, staff and residents! Everyone in the home, including the carers all added something pink to their outfits to celebrate the day.



Harvest Festival
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Rose Lodge Care Home, in Wisbech, celebrated Harvest Festival by welcoming the parishioners from St. Peters Church for a lively and joyous service of harvest celebration
Residents at Rose Lodge enjoyed attending the service with friends and family and members of the local community. The home on behalf of the local food bank had collected a wonderful hamper of different foods and fresh produce to donate at the event along with all the other offerings from families, schools and community groups.
Following on from the service our residents and visitors settled in to enjoy a morning of social fun with the homes ‘Cheese & Ale’ event and were delighted to be joined by members of the Wisbech U3A.

Wear it Pink in the Community
We were thrilled to participate with our friends at the Rosmini Community Centre as they welcomed the local community to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer support through their 'wear it pink' event.
The community demonstrated its support by baking an array of beautiful handmade cakes, accompanied by a variety of refreshments. The event was a wonderful success, with everyone having a splendid time, and our residents making new friends.



Enable Launch
Launch Announcement! We are excited to unveil Enable, our new digital care plan system, at the home.
This cutting-edge system enhances our ability to support our residents with greater effectiveness and efficiency.
Enable revolutionizes the planning, recording, and coordination of person-centred care through handheld devices and tablets.
The shift from paper to digital ensures seamless documentation of all care and life enrichment aspects, along with streamlined information access.
To commemorate this milestone, we gathered for a celebration filled with scrumptious homemade cake, sparkling bubbles, and plenty of laughter!
