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
Easter Celebrations
White Lodge residents enjoyed a wonderful relaxing afternoon with family and friends. The star of the day was Alfie who kindly delivered baskets of Easter eggs to residents, thank you for letting us share these delightful photos. Tossing the horseshoe was great fun! We are really enjoying the warmer weather and long weekend.
Easter Egg Donations
White Lodge residents had the most wonderful start to the Easter weekend with Easter eggs donated for every resident. We would like to thank the communities of Lyneham and Bradenstoke for their generous donations through St Michael's and St Mary's churches. We know how much the residents will enjoy these. White Lodge wish everyone a Happy Easter.

Taking it Easy
After a very busy couple of days we have taken things at a slower pace at White Lodge! Residents sat in the cafe and chatted about current news, some ladies knitted and when there were brighter spells we went outside for some fresh air.
