Holly Lodge Our dedicated activities team organises a variety of fun, engaging, multi-sensory group and one-to-one activities and experiences for our residents living with dementia. Activities are tailored towards the individual, supported by their life story, in line with Holly Lodge’s ethos of a person-centred approach to care.
As a member of NAPA (a leading activity and engagement charity), the team prioritise wellbeing with joyful and meaningful activities designed to stimulate cognitive ability and evoke cherished memories. Activities include ‘Guess the scent’ games, baking and gardening with different aromas and textures, colourful and textural arts & crafts, Pets as Therapy visits, pampering sessions with hand massages, incorporating themed props into music sessions and cultural events, and textured balls during exercises. Interactive touch-screen activity tables offer light projected and visually stimulating games on a larger scale and the opportunity to explore hometowns via Google Maps.
Holly Lodge has partnered with Famileo to create personalised newsletters for our residents filled with photos and messages from their loved ones. Families can share updates and photos from their day-to-day life with just a few clicks on the Famileo app. Residents will then receive a printed copy to enjoy.

Whether it’s enjoying a group exercise class or simply soaking up some vitamin D, our residents have been enjoying our outdoors areas over the summer.
Our resident crafts club couldn’t resist dressing up our robotic therapy cats. And we have to say we love their new attire!
With lockdown restrictions easing, we’ve been enjoying lots of day trips into the local community. From a trip to our local pub or simply a walk in the park, our residents can enjoy their favourite activities once more…. We even enjoy making new furry friends!
It’s a shame that we lost, but we all had lots of fun staying up and supporting our team play in the final!
All of our entertainers are back, wowing us with their voices and tempting us to tap our feet.
We’re thankful to have our own aviary here at Holly Lodge. Residents enjoy feeding the birds.

Many of our residents enjoy flower arranging, which is a popular weekly activity we host in the main lounge or garden.
We make regular use of our in house pub at Holly Lodge. “The Holly Bush” has a darts board along with chess, drafts and a variety of beverages to enjoy.
