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
A Dominos Contest
A Dominos contest was held at White Lodge today, organised by our Activities Team following a request at a recent residents' meeting. A fun afternoon was had by all.
Enjoying National Chocolate Day
Residents at White Lodge had a choice of classic treats to enjoy on National Chocolate Day - some people even had two bars! While Joyce and nurse Elizabeth are still trying to choose, Doreen and Sue have already found their favourites.
Beautiful roses at White Lodge
White Lodge resident, Gay, enjoys walking around our gardens and observing the changing seasons in our trees, shrubs and flowers. At this time of year the air is filled with the scent of our roses.
Ice cream all round at White Lodge
White Lodge residents enjoyed some ice cream this week, and although it was a bit breezy to go in the garden it didn't stop us having fun making our own cool creations. There was sauce and sprinkles everywhere. Resident Ambassador Jeannie couldn't wait to eat hers.
Thank you Cricklade School
We have maintained contact with members of local community organisations throughout the recent pandemic and were delighted to receive more stories, letters and pictures recently. These are from young people at Cricklade school. Thank you very much and we hope you are all back at school soon.
Colour in the garden
The White Lodge garden is looking really colourful at the moment, thanks to the help of residents who have enjoyed planting up our pots, raised beds and hanging baskets. We're delighted our garden furniture is looking so inviting, too, having been painted by residents. We love our afternoon teas outside in the sunshine!
