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.

With staff, residents and families all involved it quickly became a weekend to remember. We were also joined by the children from 19th Swindon Cub Pack, before finishing the weekend off with a visit from the Easter Bunny and and Easter Egg Hunt around our beautiful home and gardens. Thank you to everyone that made the weekend so enjoyable!
