Everyone loves a pamper session, to sit and relax! 

Residents at Clumber Court always look forward to a visit from Sarah, Beautician who offers hand, feet and shoulder massage to help relax and relieve pain. She spends nice quality time chatting with everyone whilst treating them to a massage.  One lady said "I'd not felt so much relaxation in my shoulders for a long time, it lasted all day".

Getting creative at Clumber Court this week in our arts and crafts sessions. Arts and Crafts. Residents enjoyed experimenting with paints, glitter, wool and sequins to create the perfect pictures. Everyone had lots of fun making self portraits and expressing their own ideas. 

Lately, we have been starting to focus on Chinese New Year and we have many more activities planned in the following week before the upcoming celebration. We started this week by making dragon decorations. Next week we have a lantern craft, we will have a pinata during our regular group exercise session and we will be having a special Chinese New Year bingo session since the bingo and bucks fizz was such a hit. This time we will have fortune cookies involved. It is going to be an exciting week! 

Our New Years celebration was a hit! To ring in the new year we had owls and a bird of prey brought in for all of the residents to enjoy. The owl trainer was fabulous and the entertainment session was not only extremely educational, but interactive. Everyone who wanted to could let the owls on their hand. Our bravest residents held chicken legs while an owl flew across the room to their hand. We will definitely be inviting the trainer back to learn more owl and bird of prey facts. 

The end of December and beginning of January have been jammed packed with fun activities inside and outside of the home.

Here at White Rose Lodge we have introduced a monthly Chit Chat Club to replace a Committee Meeting. This offers residents a space with an opportunity to talk and get to know each other without an agenda alongside refreshments of their choice. At the previous meeting we offered cheese and crackers as a resident had verbalised they would like more cheese variety. At the end of the meeting we asked residents if there was something they would like to eat on the next occasion we gather. It was a group decision that the residents would like chocolate eclairs.

In the beginning of January residents had a small gathering of thanks to celebrate Cassie the dogs life and all that she gave to the residents here at White Rose Lodge and other homes locally. The gathering consisted of hymns including ‘all things bright and beautiful’ alongside ‘morning has broken’. Reverend Maxine Waller spoke about giving thanks to God for providing us with these animals which give us unconditional love, comfort and Joy. Prayers were said for Cassie and to Jean for allowing us to have shared joyous experiences with Cassie.

We celebrated 2020 in style with a New Year lunch.  We toasted to a happy and healthy New Year for us and our family and friends.

Here at Rosedale Nursing Home we believe that food is the key to a happy home and we believe our standards in the kitchen are high which includes not only the food we serve but also the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen at Rosedale. This is something our Head Chef, Maya Limbu, has taken very seriously in the 3 years she has been at Rosedale. Since joining the team Maya has ensured that standards are met in every aspect whether this be cleanliness, nutrition or preparing the best food for the residents.  We were delighted that when we were inspected in January 2020 the Fo
