Activities at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Love to Move
Cepen Lodge residents had our first 'Love to Move' session ready to build up strength and mobility as part of Wiltshire Senior Games with WASP (Wiltshire & Swindon Sport).
We started off with fitness measurement tests such as hand grip strength, sit to stand, walking distance and we will do these again at the end of the 12 weeks to see what improvements we have made. Then we had a brilliant session with Jane from the British Gymnastics Foundation doing cognitive exercises along to music!
Everyone had a brilliant time and we can't wait to go again next week! Our activity co-ordinator Anita is leading as our movement and exercise champion to hold a second weekly session involving a combination of exercise as per Janes program and games such as javelin throwing and golf.
