Life at Shelburne Lodge Care Home
Shelburne Lodge Welcomes Unusual Guests
Shelburne Lodge actioned the wishes of their residents by purchasing two budgies to keep them occupied during the autumn. After much deliberation and many fantastic suggestions it was decided at a special naming ceremony that one of our residents picked, the names Jack and Vera, out of a hat.
The names chosen relate to the well-known TV programme, Coronation Street, that has been very familiar to our residents over many years.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Residents and staff enjoyed some delicious homemade cakes made by staff members and our Head Chef. We had a successful Macmillan Coffee Morning and raised £113.
Virtual Dog Show
Staff and residents at Shelburne Lodge in High Wycombe enjoyed a virtual dog competition. The best dog was chosen by residents and staff and first prize was awarded to Daisy, owned by one of our resident's sons.
Book Lovers Day
Shelburne Lodge had a treat in store for their resident bookworms this Book Lovers Day by making and reading and discussing Vera Lynn’s autobiography in our lovely garden.
