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
Fabulous Festivities
White Lodge have had a fabulous few days of festivities. A big thank you to all the team for everything that has gone into the preparations and for those who have worked this weekend and will do this week. Father Christmas personally delivered presents to every resident.
Reaper Rats Deliver Gifts
White Lodge residents received a very special delivery with a goodie bag for every resident. Not only were there gifts but they were delivered personally by Father Christmas! Thank you so much to the Reaper Rats bike group who tirelessly raise funds for Dementia UK and to support carehomes in the area by surprising residents with visits and gifts. Everyone absolutely loved their bags.
Thank you so much to Nigel and his team.
Thank You Archie
Archie has bought so much joy to the residents of White Lodge with his visits. We would like to wish Archie and owner Sue a very Merry Christmas and we can't wait to see him in 2022. On Archie's latest visit he demonstrated some tricks what an absolute star he is.
Santa Walk!
Today was White Lodge's annual Santa Walk and what great fun we all had. The weather was unusally mild for the time of year so we walked further than planned around the grounds and down the lane. The fun and festivities continued into the afternoon with cheese and wine. We will all sleep well tonight!
Christmas Preparations Continue with a Tipple!
White Lodge is just like any other home but on a larger scale! This means Christmas preparations including the decorations take days rather than hours - fortunately we have had plenty of helpers on hand and it has been lovely for the residents listening to some classic Christmas tunes with a glass of wine decorating our many trees and resident lounges.
Employee of the Month
Congratulations to Pam, the White Lodge Employee of the Month. Pam is normally part-time on our reception, but has been so flexible and supportive over the past couple of months, often working full time hours.
Pam has also taken the time to assist in training the new members of the team. Pam goes above and beyond working with the whole team and we are delighted to be able to recognise all she does for White Lodge with this award.
