Activities at Chalfont 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.
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.

Life at Chalfont Lodge Care Home
Pets As Therapy
Today we had a lovely visit from one of our furry volunteers!
P.A.T Dog Brontë comes and visits Chalfont Lodge every other Wednesday for lots of cuddles with individuals in their bedrooms.
Therapy dogs are sometimes called "comfort dogs." They support a person's mental health by providing attention and comfort. Their sweet demeanors and unconditional love may have a therapeutic benefit to all!
Have a hoppy Easter!
We celebrated Easter in style with a whole host of themed activities and egg-cellent entertainment.
We had some lovely little helpers come in for the day and deliver Easter Eggs to all of the residents followed by an Easter Egg Hunt for all the children.
Over the Easter holiday our talented chefs prepared delicious feasts for all to enjoy, from carrot soups, roasted lamb to tasty chocolate bunny cupcakes and a delicious Easter cake for everyone to enjoy.
As always, we’ve had an amazing time.
Good Friday Fun
Residents had a great afternoon, choosing different decorations and flowers to make their own Easter Wreaths in the shapes of Easter themed items. These were then put around the home to spread some happiness!
Easter Bunny at Wexham Park Hospital
Say Hello to our very own Chalfont Easter Bunny who has been visiting the Children’s Ward and Clinic at Wexham Hospital. Together with Tesco of Brent Cross and other stores Barchester has been able to deliver Easter Eggs and Teddies to many poorly children thanks to kind donations from residents, relatives, staff, community and the local shoppers.
Thank you to everyone that has helped donate which spread happiness to our local children.
