What a Christmas Fete
National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Werrington Lodge remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.
The home had a fantastic turn out for the Christmas Fayre. There was a visit from Santa, stalls, and entertainments.
At Werrington Lodge we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures.

New Year, New Babies come to Play
Lucy from Magical Musical Moments created the perfect atmosphere, bringing generations together through music, laughter and shared moments. From interactive songs and gentle games to sparkling baubles, meaningful conversations and, of course, plenty of cuddles every corner of the room was filled with warmth and connection.
One of our residents shared how these intergenerational sessions take her straight back to when her own girls were this little. With a smile and a few happy tears, she told us how much she treasures these moments and how she wishes they could happen more often.
Food Hygiene 5 Star Rating
We remain committed to providing safe, high-quality meals for our residents every day.
Christmas Wreath Making
Residents at Paternoster House had fun singing Christmas carols & making festive Christmas wreaths.
Happy New Year!
Our chef prepared a beautifully presented cheese platter, offering a wide selection to suit everyone’s tastes. Residents enjoyed brie, blue Stilton, cheddar, mature cheddar, and cranberry cheese, accompanied by fresh apples, celery sticks, juicy grapes, and a variety of biscuits. To complement the platter, residents were offered a choice of red wine, white wine, or prosecco, allowing everyone to join in the celebration in a way that felt comfortable for them.
The evening began with a heartfelt toast, wishing a blessed and happy New Year to all residents and staff. This was followed by a lovely sing-along of Auld Lang Syne, creating a warm sense of community and shared memories.
Afterwards, residents took part in a fun and interactive New Year’s quiz. The activity sparked plenty of conversation and smiles as residents learned about unique New Year traditions from different countries around the world, sharing their own experiences and stories along the way.
The celebration provided a wonderful opportunity for social connection, enjoyment, and reflection, ensuring residents felt valued, included, and uplifted as they welcomed the New Year together at White Lodge.
Wrapped in Kindness
Play your cards right
As we head into a new year it’s nice to take things easy, to relax and reset and just enjoy a few games and each others company!
We recently took down the decorations- we will miss our wonderful baubles and trees, but enjoyed a game of cards on our memory lane community!
