Activities at Shelburne 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!

Life at Shelburne Lodge Care Home
International Women's Day.
Residents and staff at Shelburne Lodge marked International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8th by spending the day celebrating the achievements of wonderful trail-blazing women throughout history.
Residents took part in discussions about the role of the many different women who have shaped history such as Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie and The Queen. They also talked about remarkable women from Buckinghamshire. The famous author Enid Blyton from Beaconsfield who wrote over 800 children’s books. Barbara Gubbins, born in High Wycombe and believed to be the youngest pilot in the Women's Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and National treasure Mary Berry who live in Penn. They talked about the important women in their own lives and celebrated the achievements of their fellow residents.

Artist Rose Timney paints for us.
Residents gathered together this week to watch the incredible Rose Timney paint wildlife for us. She specialises in drawing animals, so demonstrated this through her breathtaking bird pieces. She painted one for us, and gave us hints and tips on the techniques she uses. Rose brought some stunning examples of her work for us to see. Kathy and Joan said they found it incredibly relaxing to watch and look forward to creating their own art works soon.
