Applewood

Our residents enjoy an eclectic mix of arts and crafts activities; some of which are messier than others! 

It’s fantastic when Applewood residents gather together and socialise as a group, but sometimes there’s nothing more special than playing a game, chatting to a friend, or quiet moments alone enjoying a spot of TV.

We are delighted to introduce you to our newest residents, Ted & Flo. Our ‘real’ residents chose their names and made up a background story for both of them.

What a fluffy start to 2025! Our year has already been filled with love and cuddles from some adorable furry friends who visited Applewood this February.  We had an amazing pet therapy session, making new friends and sharing special moments. A huge thank you to Browells Wood Pet Therapy. Our residents had a wonderful time! …

Cuddles with kittens are simply unbeatable. Here at Applewood, we were delighted to welcome two gorgeous kittens through our doors, and their visit brought smiles to everyone’s faces. Their names were just as wonderful—Potato and Star. Magical! A big thank you to Ian for bringing them to see us.

The NYE party at our Applewood home was filled with fun, laughter, karaoke, and a quiz for good measure, followed by delicious food and fizzy pop.

The staff and residents at Applewood had the pleasure of meeting up with sister home, Braeburn Lodge, for tea, coffee, a chat, and a singalong. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and enjoy the sunshine together.

We have some fantastic artists here at Applewood, so it wasn’t a surprise that everyone got involved in creating beautiful poppy designs in preparation for Remembrance Day.

This fireworks night, we braved the evening chill and ventured out into the garden with our sparklers. It was a lovely experience, and lots of fun to join in together for such a nostalgic tradition.
