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!

Falls Prevention workshop

To mark falls awareness week, Mansukh discussed the importance of falls prevention process and how to avoid incidents. The workshop was attended by residents from our home and also our staff. Everyone found the workshop very helpful and we've all taken a lot of useful information away with us.

A surprise for Lawrence.

There was a lovely surprise for Shelburne Lodge when Justine, daughter of resident Lawrence Rugless, came to sing for us all. It was Justine's birthday and as part of her birthday celebrations she serenaded us. Lawrence was as proud as punch. Lawrence said "It made me so happy to hear Justine sing. It was a just wonderful." After we all gathered for afternoon tea prepared by our Chefs.

Thank you Justine, we had a lovely afternoon and happy birthday from all at Shelburne Lodge.
