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.

Life at Chalfont Lodge Care Home
Oktoberfest comes to Chalfont Lodge
Today at Chalfont Lodge our residents got into the Oktoberfest spirit outside on the decking, over looking our fabulous gardens and pond, Our residents enjoyed tasting some German beer, non alcoholic beer and German sausages. Everyone was in agreement this German tradition is great fun.
Mini Beasts
Zoolab Animal Therapy Sessions are a useful tool to promote mental health. Our residents were truly engaged watching, holding and touching the mini beasts that Phil from ZooLab bought along for us to see. Included in the selection of mini beast was this beautiful corn snake which seemed to be everyone's favourite.
Music in the sun
Our very talented Music Therapist Louise filled the Gardens today with beautiful violin tunes followed by the ukulele! Our wonderful residents joined in with song and drum instruments! Music is very important to Chalfont Lodge and our Residents’ favourite activity!
Fabulous Physio's
Talented Team
We have so many talented individuals here at Chalfont Lodge, both residents and staff. Here is Josh, one of our Activities Team playing Chopin on our Grand Piano for our lovely Residents! Fantastic.
Our Marvellous Music Therapist
Did you know Chalfont Lodge has our very own music therapist, the marvellous Louise Hamer. Louise explained that music therapy is best explained as person centre therapy that uses music as communication. Our resident's adore her classes and quite frankly so does our team.
