Activities at Cheverton Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians, as well as art therapy, flower arranging, Exercise to music and quizzes. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as they can, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.

I joined Cheverton Lodge in 2024 as an Activity Coordinator. I completed a Health and social care level 2 and performing arts at college. I have worked as an activity coordinator in a care home setting for over 5 years. I love my role, the passion and drive it gives me to ensure everyone receives a fun and fulfilled lifestyle, which is person centred to them.
I love being creative, I sing in my spare time alongside playing the electric guitar, piano and also writing my own music. I look forward to my journey here at Cheverton lodge, and bringing lots of fun!

This fabulous celebration was rounded off at the end of the day by a fantastic buffet provided by our hardworking Head Chef and team. Early nights for all after a fun packed day!

A special thank you to the kitchen and care staff at Cheverton for making it such a lovely day.
National Story Telling Week
To mark National Storytelling week (30th January to 6th February 2016) our Activities Coordinator put together some of the life stories shared by the residents over recent weeks and displayed these on a special presentation board in reception. Some of the residents had expressed a wish to raise funds for the victims of the crisis in Syria and so we also displayed some of the stories of older people living in Syria and how the war is affecting their access to health and care services. We raised money for the charity Age International throughout the week.
