Activities at White Lodge Care Home

Mental Health Awareness Week is taking place from today 15th till 21st May. This year's theme is anxiety and how it can get out of control and become a mental health problem. What could be more relaxing than gardening and reduce anxiety? Our residents got their hands on to plant black sunflower seed in the pot and named each of the pot after them. They will nurture them every day and observe the magic of nature. They also helped us making the hanging basket to hang around the home. Our hanging baskets will look lovely when they've grown a bit more.

Excitement was in the air at White Lodge where residents and staff were busy making Coronation-themed decorations in preparation for the King’s Coronation on May 6.

Staff and residents at the home put their heads together and came up with a plan for their celebrations fit for a King. Over the bank holiday weekend the home held what should have been a garden party but due to the wet weather we had to move our celebrations inside. We still had our BBQ under a gazebo so our residents and their families could enjoy the food, we also had sandwiches which of course included Coronation chicken and for dessert we had mini Victoria sponges and scones with clotted cream and jam and not forgetting our Pimms station complete with a tower of glasses. We were also joined by the D-Day Dollies who sang for us which everyone really enjoyed, singing along to the songs and dancing. The whole home came together to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering. A truly wonderful day was had by residents and their families.

The White Lodge care home were extremely lucky to receive an Easter egg each from St Michaels Church and the local community in Lyneham.

As you can see from our residents faces they were extremely happy and had a great Easter weekend.

Residents at White Lodge Care home had a great afternoon searching for Bunnies around the home. Some of the residents got a bit competitive racing to find the bunnies before the others.

At the beginning of the month we had a visit from 2 Pcso’s from North Wiltshire police.

Our residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon chatting to them and enjoying snacks and Tea and cake.

Our female residents at White Lodge Care home all received a homemade gift for Mother’s day,

A little lavender bag with a guardian charm which they all loved very much.

There were also daffodils all over the home and on the dining tables for all residents to enjoy.
