Our stories

To celebrate world chocolate day a chocolate making station was set up at The Belvedere. The residents got to choose the flavours and decorations they wanted to create their own chocolate bites.

We wanted to decorate our activities lounge and when we found some old vinyl records which were really scratched and not fit for playing anymore so we decided to get a little bit creative.  

Rose Lodge Care Home on Careers Way, Cobblers Lane in Newton Aycliffe were delighted when Activities Coordinator Diane Tweddle was nominated for Most Innovative Activities Programme of the year for the North East Region in the Maria Mallaband and Countrywide Care Awards.

Our Around the World party was a great success. Everyone was dressed their best and enjoyed our live social distancing entertainment by one of our regular singers Deborah. We had a buffet at dinner, a best dressed competition and a photo booth.

We have been entertained by The Bluebirds here at Troutbeck, we selected a rock n roll theme the girls dressed in the style and sang a selection of songs from the era. Our residents were able to sing along and everyone said what a fabulous event it was.
