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
National Gardening Week
This week at Chalfont Lodge we have been celebrating National Gardening Week by taking time to invest and admire our grounds here at Chalfont Lodge. Here at our home our residents have a garden committee who regularly meet and input on how we should present our garden. We have recently visited the garden centre and invested in lots of new plants for the spring / summer season. Our residents enjoyed a walk around the grounds, discussing the different plants and flowers and noting any improvements to be made!
Garden Centre Trip
Our residents have been out on our mini bus to visit Rowans garden centre. It was a fantastic opportunity to purchase some flowers in preparation for our garden this summer. The trip followed on from this weeks garden committee meeting with our residents and manager, Raj.
Networking Business Breakfast
Here at Chalfont Lodge we are thrilled to announce our first professional networking breakfast was a successful. A range of local professionals attended the event and took part in exchanging business cards and enjoying a hearty breakfast. The team at Chalfont Lodge would like to extend a huge thank you to the kitchen team for their fantastic hospitality this morning.
