Activities at White Lodge Care Home

The residents at white lodge had did flower arranging this morning and decided to put them around the lounge so that they can enjoy fresh flower when they are having a cup of tea.

One of the residents Josephine said, I have done flower arranging all my life, I have won competition too. I love fresh flowers and I would like to do it every week.

Flower arranging for older adults is a great way to keep happy and active while also stimulating intellect and encouraging social contact.

Staff and residents got together to celebrate Ruth's special day with her and her family. She is a wonderful woman, caring wife, amazing mother, passionate about knitting, loves reading, always appreciates the staff for whatever they do, motivates the young generation....what else can I say about Ruth. We just love you and wish you a good health. Happy Birthday!

Our residents joined the cooking club today as the activity of the day supervised by our head chef Richard. They prepared dough for cookies which they enjoyed a lot.

Cooking brings alive the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. It's also a great alternative to being sedentary in a chair. Baking is tactical and requires hand-eye coordination. Doing it often can keep you sharp and even elevate your mood or help you relax.

Cheers & beers!!!

This afternoon the residents and staff of white lodge care home celebrated National Beer Day with beer tasting event.

Our hospitality team brought a range of brewtiful British ales for residents to sample and they enjoyed a beer tasting in the lounge with crisps, cheese and biscuits, learning about history of beer as well as taking part in quiz, matching pairs and playing dirt. We even had prizes for the winners!!!

One of the residents Donald said "I really enjoyed the event, who doesn't enjoy a cold beer on a summer day. thank you for the lovely event and the prize."

We had a successful cheesecake and tea party at white lodge this afternoon to celebrate the cheesecake day!

National cheesecake day is celebrated on July 30. It is the perfect occasion to have a slice of one of America’s favourite desserts which comes in many different varieties. Our residents had the choices of New York cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, toffee cheesecake, triple chocolate cheesecake, lemon cheesecake.

All the staff of white lodge came along to put the party together. Thanks to our amazing kitchen team who never let us down, the cheesecakes were amazing!

Today at white lodge, we got bored with solving puzzles so thought of doing some fun with them! We coloured the back of the jigsaw puzzle pieces and put them together in a hanging decorative piece.

Arts and crafts is a great way to support fine motor skills and dexterity. This particular craft activity is a fantastic opportunity for participants to flex their creative muscles. The activity can be as open ended as you wish it to be, with each person adapting their wreath to their tastes.
