Our residents enjoyed a lovely sensory flower-arranging activity, bringing colour, fragrance and creativity to the day.

Everyone had the opportunity to touch and smell the different flowers, choose their favourite blooms and create their own beautiful arrangements.

The activity provided wonderful sensory stimulation, while also encouraging creativity, conversation and social interaction. There were lots of smiles as residents shared their choices and admired each other’s floral creations.

It was a simple activity with so many lovely benefits, and the finished displays certainly brightened up the room!

There was plenty of fun, creativity and furry friendship at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home last week! 💚

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful pet therapy visit with Sarah and Dave, along with their lovely therapy dogs, Elisha, the small dog, and Charlie, the black dog. 🐾

There were plenty of smiles, gentle cuddles and happy moments as our residents spent time with their four-legged visitors. Pet therapy is always a special part of life at Oakwood Lodge, bringing comfort, companionship and lots of joy. ❤

Tracey also got everyone involved in an art activity inspired by the wonderful cow paintings of Irish artist Eoin O’Connor.

Our residents had great fun adding their own colours, ideas and personalities to their artwork. There is something rather wonderful about seeing everyone put their own unique stamp on a piece of art!

A week filled with creativity, companionship and plenty of smiles — just the way we like it at Oakwood Lodge. 🌿💚

Thursday Hoolie at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home

Thursday afternoons are always something to look forward to here at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home 💃🕺

Our musician Don was back to entertain us for our weekly Thursday "Hoolie", with plenty of great music, singing along, dancing and fun. 😊

And we had an extra special guest joining in this week, lovely therapy dog Bella, who was only too happy to be part of the action 🐶❤️

Our Residents really love their Thursday afternoons; good music, good company and plenty of craic 👏

A big thank you to Don for another great afternoon, and, of course, to Bella for joining the fun 🐾

There was plenty of creativity and sunshine at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home as our wonderful Activity Coordinator, Gerry, helped our residents get creative with some lovely arts and crafts, painting their very own colourful summer postcards.

With the last of the summer sunshine making an appearance, we couldn't resist heading out into the back courtyard for some delicious ice creams! 🍦😋

A lovely afternoon filled with creativity, sunshine, sweet treats and plenty of smiles.

Sometimes it's the simple moments that make the best memories. 🌞❤️

🍂 Another lovely outing to Keelings Keelings Farm Shop

Our Director of Nursing, Divya, accompanied the Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home Residents on another wonderful trip to Keelings, making the most of the fresh air, exploring the surroundings and, of course, watching the planes coming and going! ✈️😊

Outings like these are such a lovely opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy a change of scenery, socialise together and simply enjoy each other’s company.

A beautiful day out, filled with fresh air, chats, smiles and happy memories. 💚

👗🛍️ A little retail therapy at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home

A sincere thank you to Debbie and Katie from "Funky Affordable Fashion" for bringing their wonderful Pop-Up Boutique back to Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home.

Our residents and staff had a fantastic time, with our ladies enjoying the simple pleasure of shopping again — browsing through beautiful clothes and accessories, choosing their favourites and, of course, enjoying plenty of chats along the way😊

For many, it also brought back lovely memories of shopping trips enjoyed over the years.

Days like this are about so much more than shopping. They are about choice, independence, enjoyment and maintaining the everyday experiences that are important to each of us.

A huge thank you to Debbie and Katie for the kindness, patience and warmth they showed throughout the visit. You made the experience so enjoyable and special for our residents.

And the good news is… we are already looking forward to welcoming you back for some Christmas shopping🎄🛍️

💐 A heartfelt thank you

We were truly touched to receive a beautiful thank-you note and thoughtful gift from the family of our late resident, Kathleen, following her recent passing.

Caring for our residents is about so much more than providing care. It is about creating a home where each person feels safe, respected, valued and surrounded by kindness — and about supporting their families throughout their journey with us.

At Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home, our team feels privileged to become part of the lives of our residents and their families, whether they are with us for respite, convalescent or long-term care.

To Kathleen’s family, thank you for your very kind words and thoughtful gesture. Your appreciation means so much to our entire team.

It was a privilege to care for Kathleen and to have been part of her life. We remember her with great fondness and extend our sincere sympathies to all her family. ❤️

We had another lovely day of activities with our residents.

Maeve treated everyone to some relaxing hand massage therapy, which was enjoyed by all. She also brought along a selection of scented sticks with aromas including lemon, orange, rose and lavender.

Our residents had great fun trying to guess the different aromas and some were easier to recognise than others.

Tracey also had everyone getting creative during our arts and crafts session, with the Rose of Tralee as the main theme.

There was plenty of colour, creativity and conversation, with everyone putting their own touch into their paintings.

A lovely mix of relaxation, sensory fun and creativity at Oakwood Lodge.

Nursing Homes Week at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home 🔭🌿

Recently, we celebrated Nursing Homes Week at Oakwood Lodge Nursing Home with a wonderful range of fun, engaging and meaningful activities for our residents. 💚

Over the weekend, our Healthcare Assistant Karen Harris organised a lovely binocular activity, giving our residents the chance to slow down, look around and enjoy the nature on our doorstep. 🌿🔭

Our resident Bridget particularly enjoyed using the binoculars to take a closer look at the world around her. There were plenty of moments of curiosity, laughter and joy along the way! 😊

It’s lovely to see how a simple activity can create such special moments and encourage our residents to connect with nature and each other. 💚🌱

A big thank you to Karen for facilitating such a thoughtful activity and helping make Nursing Homes Week so memorable! 🌸
