Double the Fun at Heath Lodge!

To celebrate the fact that it was both St Patrick’s Day and Red Nose Day on Friday, Heath Lodge decided to host a joint celebration for residents and their families. Heath Lodges Chef created a special menu for the occasion and families were invited in for lunch where a traditional Irish Fayre was served. The mouth-watering menu consisted of Irish Coddled Pork, cabbage and a bacon pomme puree with cider Butter, Guinness and Steak Stew with herb dumplings, with Orange and whiskey rice pudding for dessert.

The team had devised an afternoon of fun and laughter for everyone. There was a Photobooth to capture the occasion and the Heath Lodge team all dressed up and wore red noses. One of the activities was ‘pin the red nose on the leprechaun’ and an activity pack was provided for afterwards. Everyone joined in with the quiz and completed the themed word search.

Finally, the residents made clover leaf cookies and red nose buns which were delicious. There was lots of Irish Fun and Red Nose nonsense had by all along the way. Carol Preston Heath Lodges Care Home Manager said “ We like to keep our activities and events varied and light. An event like today was such a great opportunity to invite family and friends in to join in with the fun. Our guests tell me that they had a fantastic time and the smiles on our resident’s faces this afternoon tells its own story.

Thanks to the team, our guests and of course our residents for making today such a success!” Heath Lodge is currently welcoming residents.
