We have some real doggy lovers here at Middleton Lodge 🐶🐾

Our residents always love a chance to see Luca the therapy dog who has been visiting us for the past two years with his owner Louise - thank you so much for all you do!

Our newest friend is cockapoo Freddie and his 'mum' Sharon! Freddie took a real shine to Ann the other day, and didn't want to leave, jumping up on her bed in protest 😅

Huge thanks to both of you for brightening up our days with your beautiful pets!

Staying active plays a vital role in falls prevention, and our seated fitness classes are surprisingly popular with residents. Alongside Monday morning Oomph sessions and monthly GFitness classes, we were delighted to welcome personal trainer Chris from ProFit for the first time today 💪🏋️‍♀️

Chris did an amazing job leading us through varied and fun mobility & strengthening exercises. Residents particularly enjoyed the punching mitts, which were a great way to release any pent-up emotions! Everyone had such fun joining in, with lively 80s music in the background a helpful motivator. The hour-long session finished with a series of light stretches to help improve flexibility.

Not only was Chris a great instructor, he had an awesome memory - we were so impressed when he went round the circle perfectly reeling off each of the 20+ residents names, having then only known them for 10 minutes!

We all had a great time and can't wait to welcome you back again soon.

Recently, we took resident David (veteran of the Royal Navy) along to the 'Derby Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club' who meet every month at The Argosy pub.

He had a great time meeting everyone and chatting about his experiences while serving. So much so, that we've decided to host our own Veterans Breakfast this January, open to anyone who has served in the military!

As many of you know, we are working to become a recognised veteran-friendly care home. This is the next step for us in that journey, and something we hope will give our veteran residents stimulating face-to-face contact with people whom they may share similar experiences with, sparking memories and supporting cognitive wellbeing.

If you're a veteran yourself, we'd love to invite you along for a complimentary breakfast and good conversation with our residents. Mark your diaries....

📆 Wednesday 28th January 2026
⏰️ from 8.30am
📍 Middleton Lodge Care Home (coffee shop)

If you plan to attend this event, please can you register your interest at reception so we can cater accordingly.

❄️ We woke up to a blanket of beautiful snow at Middleton Lodge today! ❄️

Our residents watched with glee from the cosy lounge — fire blazing and hot chocolates in hand — while we got to work building them the perfect snowmen! ☃️

Today, Jean and Jacky set to work drawing our Managers and Maintenance Operative - we think they've got their likenesses spot on 😆✏️

We've also been eating lots of cake, celebrating Brenda yesterday and David today - happy birthday to you both! 🥳🎂

To beat away the January blues, our residents were treated to a mind-boggling Magic Show this afternoon courtesy of top class magician Eddie Young! 🪄🎩

From classic card tricks, to disappearing acts, mindreading, and even playing with fire, our host Eddie gave an unforgettable performance, getting 2026 off on the right track 🔥

Thank you to Eddie and all our little assistants - we couldn't stop smiling!
