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
Rainy Day Activities
It is fair to say it rained today! The team have done a great job working with the residents to find some indoor activities. On Memory Lane puzzles were popular with some residents working together while others read the daily papers or did some crochet.
Fun Weekend!
It was another busy weekend at White Lodge with lots of fun! The team love to see smiling faces and it was great for them to also join in the dancing. Barchester subscribe to Oomph Wellness which offers a range of wellbeing resources and the residents really enjoy the activity and exercise sessions as you can see from the photos. The residents really enjoy the variety and group activities.
White Lodge Wildlife
This fabulous squirrel photo was taken by our Deputy Manager, Ionana. White Lodge has so much wildlife we all enjoy. Residents and staff often spot deer in the fields, rabbits bouncing along, as well as the many squirrels there is also a wonderful variety of birds.
Winter Walks
White Lodge residents are enjoying winter walks around the grounds and enjoying the crisp winter air. We get all wrapped up and chat as we walk, it is nice to see the spring bulbs emerging. We look forward to continuing all the great work on our gardens started last year.
Pancakes All Round
It was a busy weekend at White Lodge, when the sun was out we went for walks, but many wanted to stay in the warm so the team found some interesting crosswords and puzzles. What was so nice was the residents working together to solve the clues. This was followed by afternoon tea with a difference - delicious pancakes.
Scrabble Competition
Things got serious when the White Lodge residents took part in a scrabble competition. The tension mounted and the team delivered refreshments to keep the contestants energised! The overall winner was Molly who was presented with a bag of treats. Colin went on to play some favourites on the piano; a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
