Rowan Lodge As a member of NAPA (a leading activity and engagement charity), our award-winning activities team continuously prioritise wellbeing, delivering meaningful activities, experiences and events adapted to the daily wishes of residents, from birthday and anniversary tea parties, pampering sessions, and cookery workshops to intergenerational activities with local schools, visiting entertainers and Pets as Therapy.
Activities are tailored towards the individual, supported by life story work, in line with Rowan Lodge’s ethos of a person-centred approach to care. Community outreach is important to Rowan Lodge, as well as supporting residents with their individual hobbies. For our residents who are less able, we provide 1:1 therapeutic activities.
There is a strong sense of community at Rowan Lodge, but residents are free to be more private whenever they choose. Family and friends are welcome at any time.
Rowan Lodge has partnered with Famileo to create personalised newsletters for our residents filled with photos and messages from their loved ones. Every family member/friend 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.

We’re overjoyed to be able to start our outings once again… Starting with our annual trip to the seaside! Complete with windswept hair, fish ‘n’ chips and ice cream!
We love having our own cinema at Rowan Lodge. Whether it’s watching movies or enjoying Thai Chi… It’s a versatile space we regularly use.
Residents are continuing to enjoy their personalised weekly gazettes keeping them up-to-date on their loved ones lives. Don’t forget to keep posting on your apps!
Rowan Airlines took flight again, jetting their residents off to Italy for the Fiesta Della Repubblicca.
Transforming their restaurant for the day, residents dined in Rome, rode a gondola through the passages of Venice and enjoyed an espresso in Naples.
Our indoor street party to celebrate VE Day 76th anniversary was a great success! We used old fashioned recipes & made carrot scones, cheese & Marmite swirls as well as homemade lemonade.
Rowan Lodge have invested in their own Silent Disco equipment allowing residents to enjoy their new favourite activity on a regular basis.
To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VE day, we enjoyed handmade and personalised ration (more luxury than ration) box lunches for everyone around the home. This was between the 11am two-minute silence, Queen’s address in the afternoon and an evening of singing “We’ll Meet Again”.
After a fine dining experience and drinks reception to welcome their guests, residents enjoyed a live Opera performance by Joanna Henwood. One relative commented “This has been wonderful; we’ve been transported to a theatre. What a magical way to spend an evening at the Opera from the comfort of the care home”.
