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
Celebrating Age Wiltshire Big Band Concert
White Lodge have been fortunate to have Celebrating Age Wiltshire visit the home several times with different performances, today we were able to attend one of their community events. The North Swindon Big Band Concert was held in the Memorial Hall in Royal Wootton Bassett and White Lodge took along a number of residents, as well as some attending with family members.
We all had a great time with toe tapping music and singing, tea and cake and great company. It was such an enjoyable afternoon, thank you to Celebrating Age Wiltshire for inviting us and to all the organisations that support their projects.
Green Fingered Residents
White Lodge's green fingered residents were busy in the glorious sunshine today. The courtyard flowers are flourishing as are the strawberries in the greenhouse.
Employee of the Month and 5 Star Food Hygiene Rating
Congratulations to White Lodge's Second Chef, Antonio Pereira who is the employee of the month. Antonio works with the team to create the variety and quality of food we offer our residents, but he also plays a very important role in maintaining the standards of cleanliness and infection control in our kitchen. He recently supported an inspection by Environmental Health and we are delighted to announce that White Lodge was awarded a 5 Star Rating.
Visit to Barchester Tewkesbury Fields
White Lodge residents had a wonderful afternoon yesterday at the newly refurbished Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. It was great to see residents from four Barchester homes come together with conversation flowing over a delicious afternoon tea.
The team at Tewkesbury Fields gave us such a warm welcome, thank you for your hospitality.
Musical Variety
White Lodge residents love music, between our own resident organist and painist we are so fortunate to have music around us. We also have our regular visiting performers, this week our Memory Lane Community enjoyed a great performance, with such variety we went from Country and Western to Elvis!
Happy May Day!
Happy May Day! White lodge celebrated in style with our very own May Pole, we all had so much fun. There was a lot laughter and we discovered a lack of coordination! Family members joined the team to dance around the May Pole with residents really enjoying the fun.
Thank you to everyone who made this such a great afternoon. Brent and Lou, our maintenance team turned the vision into a reality - we will be definitely having the May Pole at other events!
