The highlight of Resident’s Week at Lauder Lodge has to be our wonderful hairdressing service with Carol ✂️💇‍♀️

Sr Margaret enjoyed getting her hair cut & permed and shared a lovely compliment with Carol - “You cheer people up more than anyone.” 💛

Our residents absolutely love having this service available. It’s more than just a haircut - it helps them feel refreshed, confident and themselves.

Thank you Carol, for bringing smiles and a little extra sparkle to Lauder Lodge! ✨

We are delighted to welcome Benji the pet therapy dog to our home, what a difference he made! 🐶✨

There were smiles all around as residents enjoyed cuddles, gentle pats, and some heart-warming companionship. It’s amazing how much joy a furry friend can bring. From laughter to storytelling, the visit truly brightened everyone’s day.

We are pleased to present last month's GEM to Sister Margaret and Staff Nurse Ola in recognition of their exemplary end-of-life care. Through outstanding teamwork, they joined forces to provide truly person-centred care whilst respecting and upholding the resident’s wishes. Their compassionate and sensitive approach ensured dignity, comfort, and support at a difficult time.

Sister Margaret, thank you for stepping up with dedication and to Ola, thank you for the kindness, empathy and genuine compassion you show every day.

Congratulations and thank you both for your outstanding efforts. 💎

🥞✨ Flippin’ Fantastic Pancake Day! ✨🥞
Today our residents celebrated Pancake Day in the tastiest way possible - by flipping their very own pancakes! From perfect tosses to a few giggles along the way.
Toppings were piled high with fresh fruit, syrup, lemon & sugar, and of course a little bit of chocolate! 🍓🍋🍫
It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, sharing stories of Pancake Days gone by, and enjoying such a fun (and slightly messy!) tradition together.
Who do you think had the best flip?

🌊🚶‍♀️ Prom Strolls & Smiles 🚶‍♂️🌊
Our lovely residents enjoyed a refreshing walk along the promenade, soaking up the sea air and beautiful views. There is nothing quite like a gentle stroll by the water to lift the spirits, spark conversation, and bring plenty of smiles!
Moments like these remind us how important fresh air, friendship and a change of scenery can be. 💙

✨Resident’s Wishes at Lauder Lodge ✨

At Lauder Lodge, we do everything we can to encourage and support our resident’s wishes - because it’s often the simple things that mean the most.

Our most recent outing was for Derek, who asked for fish and chips and a pint at his local pub. 🍺🐟

A simple request, a lovely afternoon and most importantly, a very happy Derek, who enjoyed every moment.

Our Gentlemen’s Club spent the afternoon building wooden models together.

Activities like this bring back skills, memories, and that sense of purpose that comes from making something real. The conversations, teamwork and quiet concentration were just as important as the models themselves. ✈️ 🚂
