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
Jessie's Singing Brings Smiles
We were delighted to welcome Jessie Fay back to White Lodge. Today's performance was inside due to the showers, but it was a delight to hear Jessie's wonderful voice resounding all around the home. The perfect choice of songs got residents swaying and tapping their feet along with them singing along and smiling throughout.
Sunflowers and Roses
"If roses tried to be sunflowers they would lose their beauty: and if sunflowers tried to be roses, they would lose their strength" what wonderful words from philosopher Matshona Dhliwayo and how apt as today residents took a walk around our gardens and particularly admired our glorious sunflowers and stunning roses.
White Lodge from the Sky
White Lodge were fortunate to have drone videos and photographs taken. The images really do capture the wonderful location and stunning colours of nature.
Planting Bearing Fruit
We are all so excited to see our planting is bearing fruit, the tomatoes in the green house are ripening and the vegetables planted in the courtyard are nearly ready. Our residents definitely have green fingers the lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower look so good, we all know everything tastes better when you grow your own.
Who Doesn't Love Pizza?!
The weather is either too cold or too hot! It really was too hot for anything outside so Tina spent time with our Memory Lane Community making pizzas. We are sure you will agree they look delicious. Cooking and baking are so enjoyed and residents love preparing their own food and chatting about favourite foods.
