Activities at White Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators here at White Lodge enjoy the fulfillment of helping residents feel important and a part of something. Meaningful moments are created through laughter and comfort. A varied activities programme is offered for the betterment of residents' bodies and minds, including music for health, 'Oomph' sessions and chair Zumba, in addition to coffee and cake groups that all inevitably lead to giggles and old fashioned singalongs. Also, we organise parties, trips out, walks in the country, bus outings and wonderful entertainers to visit our home. A sneaky tipple is always welcomed with cheese and crackers and, at the end of the day, it is important to go home knowing our activities have made a difference.

Life at White Lodge Care Home
Sailing into the sunset!
Residents and the family members of White Lodge went out for a boat trip today. We spent a great time with Wilts & Berks Canal Trust WBCT Dragonfly Boat Trips with a trip on the boat followed by tea and freshly baked donuts!
Hook A Duck
With all the local village fete's taking place in the coming weeks, we felt it only right that we bring some of the tradition into White Lodge. We made the most of the warm sunshine by enjoying a game of 'Hook a Duck' with prizes up for grabs and a bit of " friendly " competition amongst staff and residents!
The final push for Tour De Barchester
Tour de Barchester 2024

Our Senior Games Finale
Residents of White Lodge had their "Senior Games" finale which was the last session of a 12 weeks long programme by WASP.
The sessions are organised by Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP) and the programme is funded by Wiltshire Council to engage the seniors of the community in a fun competition.
End of the end of the 12 week programme, the residents competed with 6 other local care homes where they played indoor golf, tin can alley, javelin and throwing the bean bag.
We were very proud to have finished a deserving 2nd place, missing out on winning by just a single point, however for us it was more about the taking part and creating memories for all of us at White Lodge
