Spring At Berkeley Lodge
At our Nursing Home in Worthing, which specialises in helping people living with dementia, Berkeley Lodge, it has been busy this Spring, our residents have enjoyed a diverse programme of experiences that promote creativity, wellbeing, and connections.
This is just a sample of the amazing activities and entertainment that take place every day.
Easter
Easter wouldn’t be Easter without a little chocolate and for chocoholics what could be better than a chocolate bar workshop! Residents also enjoyed a range of Easter themed sessions including decoration making which brought hands-on fun and seasonal joy to the home.
Tomorrow is always a day away…
Resident also got to enjoy a cultural outing to see Annie at the Worthing Pavilion a wonderful chance for residents to enjoy some live theatre and reminisce together. Did you know it’s nearly 50 years since the first Broadway production of Annie opened?
Sporting Memories
It wasn’t only musical memories which were sparked, Our Gent’s Club organised a visit to the Sporting Memories Club, encouraging conversation and connection through shared passions. Events like this can be fantastic for people living with dementia, which Berkeley Lodge is a specialist home for.
Community Spirit
Members of the knit and Natter Club took part in community gathering at Worthing Library, exchanging skills and stories with local residents. It’s important to us that all our homes feel rooted in the local community and that are residents feel part of that.
The Food explorer’s club revisited traditional spring recipes, with residents preparing dishes from their own heritage and family traditions.
Creativity and Green Fingers
At the Art-ful Pottery Café, residents showcased their creativity while enjoying cream tea in a relaxed setting.
One of the most celebrated feature of our home is the garden, which is shared with one of other nursing homes, The Poets. Recently the Joyful Green’s Club, started growing our own strawberries, herbs, succulents, and seasonal flowers offering a rewarding sensory experience, and promoting wellbeing through nature.
