Activities at White Lodge Care Home

Happy Mother's Day from White Lodge. All our residents enjoyed a fabulous day. During the morning Andy Yapp performed on our Memory Lane Community with many residents joining from around the home. There was lots of hand waving, toe tapping and singing along. Every lady was given a rose which they loved. In the afternoon we were delighted that families came together in each room to enjoy a Mothering Sunday High Tea. Our chefs created the most beautiful delicate cakes and sandwiches along with traditional scones - thank you. The home was decorated with bunting and balloons and we held a raffle. It really was a very special day with happiness all around.

This week we returned to Studley Grange Garden and Leisure Park to Q Ceramics in the Studley Grange Craft Village. The residents really enjoyed selecting an item and the colours to paint, it is a lovely relaxing environment where we could take as long as we wished, we look forward to further visits.

Residents thoroughly enjoyed a new game - basketball. Everyone had a real giggle as balls were thrown there were some great aims. Games like these keep residents active and it is great to get everyone together and doing something new and fun.

White Lodge have added a Friday evening "Happy Hour" to the activities programme, from 4pm pre-dinner drinks are enjoyed by the residents. This is a great opportunity for everyone to meet up and mingle. Margaret has selected New Zealand wines which are going down very well!

White Lodge could have appeared on a garden makeover show - the residents transformed the courtyard in an afternoon and what a fantastic end result. It was an absolute pleasure to see the residents working together to bring colour to our Mediterranean style courtyard, thoroughly enjoying getting outside and creating new planting. These pictures show the before and after.

Happy St Patrick's Day! We have had a fabulous day at White Lodge, it was action packed.

This morning a pot of gold appeared at the end of the rainbow from our very own leprechaun. There was an Irish quiz and a find the gnomes competition. Then this afternoon was party time with Irish music, delicious cheese boards from the hospitality team all accompanied with Guiness and other tipples. It really was such a fun filled day.
