Activities at Cepen Lodge Care Home
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
Christmas Jumper Day
Every year, Cepen Lodge supports Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. We can’t wait to put our Christmas jumpers on and raise some money for a good cause. We decided to have a fun competition this year and see how many Christmas jumpers a resident or carer could put on in 1 minute. It caused a lot of laughter and it was one of the carers who won with 7 jumpers!
Christmas Pantomime
This event was a big success and plans are already being made for next year already. Residents really enjoyed it and te mesmerised by our costumes. We are planning on setting up our own drama group in the New Year for residents and staff to come along and have some fun.
Games Afternoon
Residents really enjoyed a games afternoons. We played a variety of games, including dominoes, Snakes & Ladders and Ludo. Dominoes was really popular; there was a lot of chatting and competitiveness and was enjoyed by all, with a tipple of choice on the side.
Residents enjoyed it so much that they would like to board play games more often, and next time it is going to be Monopoly!
Poppy Display
For Remembrance Day, we decided we would make a lovely display of poppies that the residents made. We also asked the local community if they would like to make any poppies for our display; a very kind member of the community made some lovely fabric poppies, which looked amazing.
Halloween Celebrations
Here at Cepen Lodge, we decided to celebrate Halloween. We played Halloween-themed bingo with lots of lovely prizes and had a Halloween high tea with delicious cakes and, of course, a cup of tea.
The staff dressed up in a variety of fun Halloween outfits to make the residents and other staff smile. Lots of spooky fun was had by all!
