Activities at Sherwood 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 Activities Coordinator is constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. We have regular outings in the mini bus to nearby places of interest including local garden centres and parks as well as musicians and entertainers. We also hold bingo evenings which are helped out by our residents families. We also have a local pub nearby which the residents enjoy visiting from time to time for a spot of lunch or sitting in the gardens in the summer time. We try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests as best is possible. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Sherwood Lodge Care Home
Autumnal Walk
Pauline's been out on a lovely autumnal walk this afternoon.
Pauline had an idea whilst out walking today to collect some of the fallen leaves to dry them out and do some leaf painting with the other residents tomorrow.
Brilliant idea Pauline!
A Visit from the Hairdresser
Nothing pleases our ladies more than a visit to the salon to have Angela work her magic on their locks each week.
The joy this brings to our residents each week is clear to see with smiles as beautiful as they are.
We all take a visit to hairdressers for granted, but to our residents, having a salon within our home is a lifeline to what they would of enjoyed in the community whilst living in their own homes.
Just beautiful!
Summer Fun
Residents donned their sun cream and had a lovely afternoon in the garden and made good use of 'Emma's Place'.....our lovely new garden gazebo.
They had lots of refreshments and a good old natter while enjoying the fresh air.
Maureen thoroughly enjoyed sitting out in the sun with her favourite tipple.
Dancing to the Golden Oldies
We have been getting our groove on today at Sherwood Lodge.
We have had an afternoon of golden oldies performed by Dave Odlum, which has had us all up on our feet.
Music is food for the soul, and our residents, staff and visitors thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Performance from NW Show Choir
This weekend the fabulous NW Show Choir performed for our residents at Sherwood Lodge which they thoroughly enjoyed.
With a varied selection of songs the residents had a great sing along ,the home was full of family and friends and lots of music ,thanks so much we can’t wait for the next time.
May Day Celebrations
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Sherwood Lodge care home in Preston celebrated May Day in style with a garden party and a whole lot of springtime fun! There were homemade bakes, music and singing and of course dancing around the May pole. The home welcomed Sherwood Primary school children to join for the afternoon and take part in all the fun.
Residents had been very busy for weeks making the May pole and crowning it and also making garlands for the day. Everyone enjoyed involved in the festivities and getting the home and garden ready for the big day.
