Music in all forms (listening, singing and dancing) allows all residents to get involved as this is something that everyone retains.

Our music sessions are always popular from piano with John, dancing with Simon and Singing for the Brain. We are now set to fulfill our ambition to create a Rose Lodge Choir.

Today was our first proper session following successful trial last week.The choir is led by Chanda and is open to residents, relatives and staff. Today our choir was joined by Lynn (Tom’s daughter).

Our choir meets every Thursday at 11am and its first performance will be during our summer party in July.

Our activity programme continues to grow. We now have our own beautician, Terry, spoiling residents with one-to-one beauty pampering popular with gents and ladies alike. These sessions are held twice a week in the morning.

We could not resist capturing today’s session with….. guess who?

Someone said recently: we create the right physical environment for people to feel safe and the right social environment for people to feel loved. It is great to see thriving friendships amongst residents and staff.

Our second consecutive sunny day this week! Nothing better  than a party on the terrace; the highlight has definitely been an impromptu sing-along to all time classics led by Chanda.

After all the rain, a sunny warm day draws our gardeners for potting and general tidying up.

Nothing better than a cuppa with friends to finish the day’s work off.It is great to see now how the new garden design attracts more people outside.
