We’re proud to support a cause that means so much to us 💜 Alzheimer's Society

Pauline, the wife of one of our residents, is taking on an incredible challenge—walking 13 miles as part of the Trek 26 event in support of Alzheimer's Society.

To help her on this journey, we’ve donated £200 💜

If you’d like to show your support too, we’re sharing her fundraising link below—every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.

Hello everyone,

What a beautiful day it has been today in Mere. We have enjoyed it here at Castle Lodge!

So far this week has been filled with thoughtful moments and new experiences…

One of our residents enjoyed her very first hand and arm massage in our salon. We truly value this dedicated one-to-one time, providing our residents with a wonderful opportunity to relax, connect, and share meaningful conversation together.

As a little hint into our upcoming project at Castle Lodge, our resident created a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a birthday gift for a fellow resident – our next task is creating a meaningful wrap to secure them in for her…

The final picture sums up the joy we were all having over lunch whilst deciding on names for our sunflower competition! 🌻~more will be shared but the names were very creative!

We hope you are having a wonderful weekend enjoying the sunshine and signs of spring! ☀️🌷

I thought it would be great to show the mix of activities we do here at Castle Lodge- they can be linked to a residents past, career, a hobby or interest, and these always provide beautiful moments for our residents…

However there are also opportunities for having a ‘first’ moment too!

Whether that’s a hand and arm massage, or being reminded of different items from the past, using essential oils… Our residents love to be pampered and we are happy to ensure that happens!
