Activities at White Lodge Care Home

We had another fantastic day out the community this week visiting friends and new friends to White Lodge Care Home. We love getting out to see everybody, inviting the community to along to our upcoming events, and spreading the word about all the exciting things happening over the coming weeks. If you would like to get in touch about our events, or to come and have a look at our beautiful surroundings please get in touch with Ramona our Home Manager.

As part of the resident of the day the team come together to make the day special for the resident by asking them what they would like to have or to do.

Our resident Gheorghe requested for a Romanian food named "sarmale" when the team asked him what we can do for him. To make the day special, the life enrichment team decorated the dinning room with Romanian flag bunting and balloons, the kitchen made "sarmale" following the most traditional recipe, with the General Manager and the Deputy Manager joining him wearing a traditional Romanian blouse. 

What a fantastic day and its lovely to embrace the cultures we have here at White Lodge

We popped back to the Dementia Choir this week. It’s been a pleasure to join the choir with other residents from different home and is a wonderful opportunity for our residents to make new friends. Thank you to Lisa and the volunteers for running such an amazing activity

We were invited by Riverside community group who arranged a talk about exciting 1640s by members of the colonel Devereux's regiment living history group!

Right after the residents reached Malmesbury, they met a group of Devereux shooting for their add and was lucky to be able to click a picture with the Amazing actors!

Then we went to the town hall to attend the talk. It was lovely to see the old fashioned gun, how they used to knit and sew, handheld weaving loom to make tape, old fashioned hat and gloves. Such a wonderful experience for the residents!!!

We take every moment possible to get outside at White Lodge, and as the weather starts to show some improvement those moments can happen every day. Its lovely to have visitors out and about enjoying our beautiful scenery and new balcony.

Here at White Lodge, we want to ensure we try to make wishes come true. Taking this  into account one of our residents Robert wanted to go and see planes up close so our life enrichment team planned a mini bus trip to Army Flying Museum in Stockbridge. We had few more residents interested for the trip to came along with us.

When we arrived at the museum, Robert was over the moon to see all the miniatures up close and even got into one of them. We spent the day walking all over the museum, reading and listening to the history along with a refreshment break in the museums cafe.

When asked Robert said it was one of his best days!
