We are getting ready for the big show at the Blackmore Theatre in a couple of weeks. Dress rehearsals at the Theatre on 21st after our garden party..

We have added Yoga to the programme a few weeks ago, which is going very well. Art isn’t on the programme as a specific activity, though several residents do practice their art at Rose Lodge. If anyone knows of an art teacher who would like to lead an art class once a week then please let us know.

Performed by residents, relatives, and staff! Judging by the pictures, no commentary is required….

Well that’s what we call it!

As reported by the Exmouth Journal today.

To mark National Dementia week, Rose Lodge, East Devon’s dementia specialists, are launching a befriending scheme for people with dementia and their carers in Exmouth.

Under this scheme, people with dementia are given the opportunity to get involved in some of the popular activities at Rose Lodge, such as the weekly drama class, and the Rose Lodge Ramblers that meet weekly for a good two hour walk around the Devon countryside.

“Isolation is a real problem for people with dementia and their carers, and too often life can become a bit of a grind. Public services for people with dementia are very limited and so we are happy to be able to make some of our activities programme available to people in the community” says Karen Bousher, manager at Rose Lodge.

If you would like to participate in the scheme, please contact Karen at Rose Lodge on 01395 227071.
