Castleford Lodge – Milkwood Care Limited

Tom’s journey

Tom came to the Lodge on 14th January 2014 as our first client. In doing so, he put his own unique stamp on the place – and as such, he put the Lodge on the map which Milkwood Care will always be grateful for. Being the only client for a few years with the odd…

Easter time!

We have had a fantastic Easter at the Lodge. We invited family and friends to our Easter ‘Eggstraganza’. Due to the poor weather we had to hold the event indoors, but that didn’t stop us from having lots of fun! We all had a go at the egg dash – 20 seconds to find as…

Castleford school visit

We feel really lucky to be really connected with our local community and recently, one of local schools came to visit us. The children brought excitement, joy and happiness to our residents who smiled for the rest of the day after spending time with the children.

Springing into Spring

Here at Castleford we are preparing for springtime. We were very lucky to have daffodils donated to us, thank you Sharon. We have been busy doing arts and crafts to go on our spring wall and we have done some flower arranging to go around our home. Now we just need the sunshine.

Remembering Bob

Robert, or ‘Bob’, came to the Lodge in 2016. His outstanding trait was his eccentricity, and he maintained this throughout his stay. He chose who he wanted to spend time with, and it wasn’t uncommon for visiting professionals to travel miles to meet Bob for them to be totally ignored, especially if they visited during…

A Perfect Pancake Day!

We love Pancake Day here at Castleford! We had an entire pancake trolley full of pancakes, berries, chocolate, honey, lemon, sugar and whipped cream. Our residents and staff chose what they wanted on their pancakes and enjoyed every last bite. Thank you to Jade for making the pancakes so delicious!

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day was a very special event for all at The Lodge. We were joined by family and friends to celebrate together. We tucked into a delicious afternoon tea and had a lovely Bucks fizz. To finish off the celebrations, we had a raffle which was full of wonderful prizes. All proceeds are being put…

Indoor entertaining

Our lovely staff and residents at Castleford have been bowling, singing and dancing over the last few weeks. It’s amazing how much fun you can have without having to step outside (although, as they say, they love all their outdoor activities too!)

New Year fun at Castleford

We hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and wish you all the best for the year ahead. We had a fantastic time with music, party food for dinner, and for those who made it to the new year, a tasty Chinese! Our wonderful night staff kept everyone well entertained throughout the evening.

Zen-sational

A yoga session led by Barbara is a zen-sational way to start the day! During a recent yoga session, Joyce and Kayleigh joined Barbara and were led by her expert knowledge and experience during the session. Barbara used to teach yoga and loves to share her passion for yoga and get as many people involved…
