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
White Lodge Celebrate Dewali
White Lodge celebrated Dewali, the Festival of Light. While creating beautiful decorations, Lucy spoke about the meaning behind the festival which is celebrated over 5 days. It symobolizes the spirital "victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance" it marks the start of the Hindu New Year, with the date changing each year in line with the moon. Everyone agreed that it was such a positive celebration and enjoyed seeing the decorations on display.
Pearls of Wisdom
White Lodge residents spent some time this weekend imparting their pearls of wisdom with advice for the younger generation. This is really worth while reading and giving thought to - thank you to all the residents for taking part.
