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
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Its beginning to feel like Christmas at white lodge! The residents decorated the Christmas tree which they will donate to St Mary's Church, Purton later this afternoon.

Attending Civic Service in RWB
Residents at white lodge care home were delighted to be able to sing and perform as a part of the dementia choir for the mayor's civic service arranged by Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council yesterday.
It was wonderful for the residents to meet so many people from the community. One of our residents Molly, ex-Parish Councillor was amazed to meet and greet her ex colleagues at the service. She said it was a well organised and wonderful service. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Again we are a proud member of the choir and can't thank enough Lisa Williams for inviting us for the service.
