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.

Christmas Cake Competition

Festive Bakes at Cepen Lodge 

Our residents have put their Chefs hats on this week as we entered Barchester Healthcare annual Christmas Cake competition.

With the Christmas music playing it was a fun filled afternoon of laughter and memories. Our staff and residents reminisced about their own Christmas baking traditions, such as home made mince pies, yule logs and the classic Christmas pudding!

Thank you to all the residents and staff for creating this brilliant masterpiece, I'm sure we all agree that it really does look good enough to eat.

Alpaca Therapy

We had some special guests visit us at Cepen Lodge.

Say hello to Renegade and Sweetheart, 2 beautiful alpacas from Lane House Alpacas/ Alpaca Walking.

Our wonderful residents enjoyed the afternoon of fluffy coats and wet noses. Renegade and Sweetheart are so kind natured that this allowed our residents to not only enjoy Alpaca cuddles, but also learn more around these marvellous animals.

We cant wait for the next visit!
