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
Wiltshire Mobile Library Visits
White Lodge are fortunate to have regular visits from Wiltshire Mobile Libraries. Residents really enjoy spending time selecting new books, reading is such a relaxing past time.
Indoor Gardening Club!
With inclement weather we decided to plant our hanging baskets inside. What a great team White Lodge residents are, creating some stunning baskets for the front of the home, even tidying up after!
The grounds and gardens are very important to us all at White Lodge and we are very much looking forward to planting a commemorative tree this week to mark the Queen's Jubilee.
Making Greeting Cards
White Lodge residents are very creative and a group of ladies thoroughly enjoyed a recent card making session in our activities room. The group were then joined by some of our gentleman for a lovely relaxed afternoon tea.
Swindon Stompers dance around White Lodge
What a lovely visit from our local line dancing group, Swindon Stompers. White Lodge residents had a fabulous time with some even joining in! Thank you all so much for your time coming in to see the residents and the kindness you always show to everyone. The atmosphere was very special.
Wonderful Weekend
What a great weekend at White Lodge, our activities team are excellent at introducing new activities, but there are also some firm favourites and that includes bingo. Whilst the bingo is fun it is also quite serious! We have moved it to the dining room so dabbers can be quickly dabbed on the tables and with so many residents taking part we needed more space!
On Memory Lane we played beach football and handball, there was great excitement as to who would get the ball next. We also enjoyed the glorious weather with some walks around the grounds and were delighted to collect our fired ceramics and were delighted with the vibrancy of the colours.
Happy Hour!
Cheers! White Lodge Happy Hour on Friday afternoons makes us all smile. It has been quite a week starting with our trip to see Florence Nightingale! Over the next couple of weeks we will be preparing for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations including creating decorations for our big event on 2nd June.
