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
Come rain or shine
With the weather not making its mind up in recent weeks, we decided that nothing would stop us getting out and about not even a bit of a rain... Fresh air is important to all of us as we all take time to get our gardens ready for the better weather (hopefully). Our life enrichment programme at White Lodge ensures a healthy balance of indoor and outdoor engagement for our residents. Come along and see what we get up to..
Grafting in the Garden
We have been busy grafting in the gardens and getting our bird feeders ready for Spring. Our beautiful surroundings deserve the best quality in food for our little visitors, so the residents have worked together with the team to provide plenty of choice and options throughout the outdoor spaces we have! Followed by a well deserved hot tea and cake break for our workers.
Food, Drinks and Memories
Residents and families joined forces with the Swindon Veterans Group at the Strawberry Thief to enjoy fine food and dining whilst reminiscing over memories and times once shared before. We love taking our residents out in the community and thank you to those that joined us. Cant wait to do it again soon!
Line Of Duty at White Lodge
Our residents and staff were "found guilty" of having a fantastic afternoon with Mo and Kelly from our local PCSO team. Residents were treated to an afternoon of questioning, fun facts and checking out some of the daily equipment used by the local PCSO's before being taken away for further investigation...... We cant wait to see you both again soon and thank you so much for visiting us here at White Lodge.
Supporting Great Western Hospital This Easter
White Lodge Manager Ramona and her team of Easter Bunnies spent some time at Brunel Treatment Centre at Great Western Hospital, bringing chocolate and toys to patients being supported by Brighter Futures. We love working with our community and bringing joy to those in need throughout the year.
Decking our way into Spring
We are so pleased to have been able to explore our new decking for the first time this year. With Spring upon us it was a great chance for our residents to get a taste of the lighter evenings ahead, by exploring our new decking over looking the beautiful lake we have here in our garden. We cant wait for the summer weather to arrive to make the most of the stunning surroundings we have here at White Lodge
