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

We are grateful for your willingness to give your time, energy, and talents.
Your support allows us to continue fulfilling our mission to make our residents life enriched every day.
National Fish and Chip Day
Residents at White Lodge care home celebrating National Fish and Chips day...! There is just something extremely special about the tang of salt and the oil-stained newspaper that speaks of a meal so steeped in tradition, it only seems appropriate that it comes wrapped in the day’s news!
Cotswold Wildlife Park
A Wish come true visit for one of our resident's Anne as we went to see the Giraffe's for a day out at Cotswold Wildlife Park. We had an amazing day looking and all the animals and exploring the park and even took a picnic along for the day.
D-Day Celebrations
White Lodge marked the 80th anniversary of D Day landing in style by throwing an afternoon tea party to remember. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and we all dressed up and enjoyed an afternoon of music and dancing. We were also joined by the D-Day Dollies who put on a special performance for us all.
Later in the party we had a special visit from a local community group "Swindon veterans" who shared their stories and memories with the residents. We love coming together as a community and putting on special events for the people we care for!
Garden Games
Residents at White Lodge care home played a game of croquet on the garden to celebrate senior health and fitness day! After some practice and a lot of balls hit, residents joined in with a friendly introductory game. Starting with the basic rules, residents played the games in turns in the home’s beautifully manicured gardens. The game was made accessible for all.
One of the residents added, “What a wonderful activity this was. I love getting the chance to learn something new and I had so much fun participating in a new sport, and I loved it too.”
National Biscuit Day
Celebrating National Biscuit Day the only way we can....by making and indulging in tea and biscuits all day! We got together in our activity room to do some morning baking before testing out our own work, whilst also enjoying some more traditional biscuits that Britain loves!
