Activities at White Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators here at White Lodge enjoy the fulfillment of helping residents feel important and a part of something. Meaningful moments are created through laughter and comfort. A varied activities programme is offered for the betterment of residents' bodies and minds, including music for health, 'Oomph' sessions and chair Zumba, in addition to coffee and cake groups that all inevitably lead to giggles and old fashioned singalongs. Also, we organise parties, trips out, walks in the country, bus outings and wonderful entertainers to visit our home. A sneaky tipple is always welcomed with cheese and crackers and, at the end of the day, it is important to go home knowing our activities have made a difference.

Happy Birthday Gheorghe
As part of the resident of the day the team come together to make the day special for the resident by asking them what they would like to have or to do.
Our resident Gheorghe requested for a Romanian food named "sarmale" when the team asked him what we can do for him. To make the day special, the life enrichment team decorated the dinning room with Romanian flag bunting and balloons, the kitchen made "sarmale" following the most traditional recipe, with the General Manager and the Deputy Manager joining him wearing a traditional Romanian blouse.
What a fantastic day and its lovely to embrace the cultures we have here at White Lodge
