Activities at Chalfont Lodge Care Home
Chalfont Lodge is a large care home and we have a diverse range of groups and events to ensure that everyone feels welcome and included. In the Lifestyle team we work hard to create a sense of community and ensure there is always someone to talk to and something to do.
Our residents help us to plan the monthly lifestyle programme, making sure that everyone has something they like, enabling people to keep up with life long hobbies or pick up new ones. We have long term projects like our summer parties, car shows, BBQs, craft fairs, Christmas shows to mention a few and residents can be as involved as they would like in all stages of the planning or just come along and enjoy on the day.
We love going out on trips, to lunch, shopping or to socialise with other local groups, we also have many people who come into visit us with church services, music, talks and support for our bigger events.
We have a fantastic team of staff and every department is involved in making sure our residents get the most out of living here. We have a brilliant music therapist who works her magic 3 days a week, running group and individual sessions. Our Physiotherapy team keep everyone fit and active, working with us to make sure everyone has access to sports and team games.
We have a full programme groups, events and clubs but none of it would be possible without our residents and their families, we all work together to make this a home from home and to keep laughter and friendship at the heart of what we do.

Sophie & Mikey
Did you know we have regular events and entertainment happening at our home? And today we were excited to welcome two amazing, singers Sophie & Mikey who came to perform for our residents and get us all singing and dancing along to our favourite classics. It was great to see all of the residents take part and we even nearly had our own ABBA band start with two of our residents!
Beer Day
Chalfont Lodge had a "Beer-rilliant" day celebrating International Beer Day.
Residents raised a glass (or two) and tasted top ales in recognition of International Beer Day.
Everyone enjoyed a variety of different flavoured beers from all around the world, whilst learning about the craft brewing and the history of beer followed on by an afternoon of music from the wonderful Frank our newly welcomed singer.
Flower Arranging
Today our residents took part in flower arranging activities which was a great way to bring joy, colour and happiness into the home. We discussed our favourite flowers and there was a great collective of knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience from our residents.
Jimmy Kent
We welcomed Jimmy Kent today who has made his first debut at Chalfont Lodge. It was a wonderful performance that got everyone's spirits up and toes tapping through singing a great variety of songs to appeal to everyone!
A great afternoon was had by all.
