Activities at Chalfont Lodge Care Home
Chalfont Lodge is a large care home and we have a diverse range of groups and events to ensure that everyone feels welcome and included. In the Lifestyle team we work hard to create a sense of community and ensure there is always someone to talk to and something to do.
Our residents help us to plan the monthly lifestyle programme, making sure that everyone has something they like, enabling people to keep up with life long hobbies or pick up new ones. We have long term projects like our summer parties, car shows, BBQs, craft fairs, Christmas shows to mention a few and residents can be as involved as they would like in all stages of the planning or just come along and enjoy on the day.
We love going out on trips, to lunch, shopping or to socialise with other local groups, we also have many people who come into visit us with church services, music, talks and support for our bigger events.
We have a fantastic team of staff and every department is involved in making sure our residents get the most out of living here. We have a brilliant music therapist who works her magic 3 days a week, running group and individual sessions. Our Physiotherapy team keep everyone fit and active, working with us to make sure everyone has access to sports and team games.
We have a full programme groups, events and clubs but none of it would be possible without our residents and their families, we all work together to make this a home from home and to keep laughter and friendship at the heart of what we do.

Back to School
As the school year starts soon, our residents have been busy preparing some special messages for our local schoolchildren. They’ve shared their most inspirational and motivating words of wisdom to help the children kick off the term with a smile. Check out the photos we’ve taken of their advice! A big thank you to everyone involved and a special shout out to our team for pulling it all together.

Fossil Workshop
We are very fortunate here at Chalfont Lodge - we have regular visits from Barry and his fossils! Today Barry spoke to our wonderful residents about Volcanoes and showed us some volcanic rock - which residents handled. Barry is all things on rocks and fossils. Dinosaurs are his speciality. An enthralling morning was had by all!
