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
Best Friend Day
In celebration of Best Friend Day, the residents at Shelburne Lodge have been busy reminiscing about friends, past and present. In tribute to this special day, hearts were created and residents given the opportunity to remember a particular attribute of that person. They enjoyed placing these on our friendship tree and sharing these with staff, families and, of course, friends!
Employee of the Month - May
Olena is an exceptional Carer who is very popular with both residents and loved ones. She is always willing to help out with all tasks and frequently is able to cover extra shifts. Well done, Olena, for being voted as our Employee of the Month for May.
Employee of the Month - April
A huge congratulations to Jemma Jepson, who was voted as our Employee of the Month for April. Jemma has made a seamless transition from her caring duties into the role of Activities Coordinator. She has taken on her new responsibility with enthusiasm.
Birds of Prey
We were thrilled to welcome Falconry UK to Shelburne Lodge to celebrate our Open Day. Not only did they provide the opportunity for residents so see some wonderful birds, they also gave a very informative presentation on the their environment, habitat, adaptation and evolution. They provided plenty of opportunities for the residents to see the birds up close and to hold them.
A range of different birds were brought in and residents had a wonderful day; it will definitely be remembered for a very long time!
Medical Detection Dog Visit
We were thrilled to welcome the medical detection team to Shelburne Lodge recently with their very well behaved dog, Elsa! The residents enjoyed a very informative presentation, providing lots of information about how the trained dogs are able to detect serious, life-threatening illnesses. As a charity, they rely solely upon the public’s generosity and good will. We hope to assist with their fundraising with future events at the home.
Employee of the Month - March
A huge congratulations to Stefan-Marian Cojocaru for being voted as March's Employee of the Month. Not only does Stefan offer an excellent service as a Carer, he is also able to cover Chef duties in the kitchen, providing nutritious and balanced meals for residents. Well done, Stefan!
