A huge thank you to Reigate Grammar School for visiting our home to volunteer.

Residents And The Team Compete In Their Own Sports Day

A Trip to the Seaside

We're making the most of the beautiful weather and visiting our favourite place, the beachfront. There’s nothing better than enjoying the fresh sea air, the sunshine & the stunning views together.

Staying Active Together

Our residents recently enjoyed a wonderful visit from Karen at Rise, who led an engaging session of gentle exercise and interactive games designed to keep everyone active, smiling and involved.

The session encouraged movement, laughter and plenty of conversation, with residents taking part at their own pace. They particularly loved the friendly competition throughout the games, cheering one another on and sharing plenty of smiles along the way. It created a fantastic atmosphere, with everyone enjoying the opportunity to socialise while keeping active.

At Elderwood, we believe that staying active plays an important role in both physical and emotional wellbeing. We’d like to thank Karen and the team at Rise for such an enjoyable visit, and we look forward to welcoming them back for another fun-filled session soon.

What an unforgettable two weeks it’s been here at Chalfont Lodge as we’ve celebrated all the excitement, tradition, and fun of Wimbledon!

From refreshing glasses of Pimm’s to delicious strawberries, scrumptious cakes, and classic Eton mess, there have been plenty of treats enjoyed alongside great company and lots of smiles.
It’s been wonderful to see everyone coming together to celebrate one of Britain’s most iconic sporting events. At Chalfont Lodge, we know how to make every occasion special, creating meaningful moments, lasting memories, and plenty of laughter along the way.
Thank you to everyone who made our Wimbledon celebrations such a success. Until next year… game, set and match!
