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
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.
Celebrating Age Wiltshire Return to White Lodge
White Lodge were delighted to welcome back Celebrating Age Wiltshire, this amazing local charity organise different events in care homes across the county. This time there was a production bought to White Lodge by To Theatre - The Rum Tale of the Moonfleet Diamond. Residents had a fantastic afternoon of entertainment following this tale of ancient mystery and new found love! Thank you so much to Angela and David for the entertainment and all of the team at Celebrating Age Wiltshire for arranging another great show.
Happy Mother's Day
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.
Ceramics at Studley Grange
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.
Basket Ball Comes to White Lodge
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.
Happy Hour!
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!
