Social Activities
One
of the advantages of living in a care home is the opportunity to socialise,
and at Lostock Lodge we offer a varied range of activities for our residents.
The following is just a selection of what we do and new ideas are being
added all the time.
Craftwork
- making decorative items for the home or as presents for relatives.
We
play board-games such as Dominoes, Ludo and Rummikub and we regularly
organize quizzes.
To
encourage physical activity we have a number of gentle games such as indoor
skittles, velcro darts, beanbags, balloones and Jenga.
We
sometimes try cookery - usually making and decorating cakes and biscuits
- and eating them too!
A
Breath of Fresh Air - even those needing a wheelchair can enjoy some fresh
air as our activity organisers regularly take residents out for a walk.
Music
- we regularly book professional entertainers and our piano also sees
frequent use for informal singalongs.
Gardening
- we are looking to develop a section of our garden for residents to enjoy
cultivating their own plants.
