Celebrating life at Barchester

This morning our residents enjoyed a morning of music with the fabulously talented Tom Wenlock singing hits from across the decades residents from both communities came together for a good old fashioned sing-a-long and boogie!
 

Residents enjoyed a relaxed and sociable evening filled with laughter and fond memories.

As we sampled the biscuits and sipped the Baileys we spent time discussing childhood toys and favourite radio stars, sharing stories about the presenters and programmes they used to watch and listen to.

Remembering familiar faces and names sparked lively conversation and gentle nostalgia, creating a warm atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable, engaged and happy to share their thoughts and views on times gone by.

The residents enjoyed an afternoon of indulgence today, tucking into a fine selection of cheese, wine and crackers.

A great time was had with fellow residents and family members, we even had a bit of Bob Marley playing in the background!

It was such a success, they requested this as a monthly event. 

We are thrilled to announce that the winner of the December Employee of the Month award is Seby, a valued member of our care & support team here at the home.

At the end of 2025 our home celebrated two members of staff receiving their prestigious Long Service Awards.

Care Assistant; Tracey has worked for 15 years with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs are always met, and Audrey reached her 10 years providing the same exceptional care.

Jade Hodge, General Manager said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating a combined 25 years loyal service with Tracey and Audrey. They have both demonstrated their dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents year after year. I speak for all of us here at Cepen Lodge when I say that I’m looking forward to many more years of working with them.”

This week we helped resident Ian celebrate his 90th birthday. The sparklers on Ian’s luscious birthday cake lite the room with joy almost as much as Ian face lite up when he held his great great grandson the super smiley; Thomas Arthur!

Happy birthday Ian from all at Cepen Lodge.

Using twigs and beautiful faux red berries our arty ladies enjoyed twisting each berry sprig to create these life-like decorative branches in preparation for our homes Valentine's Day celebrations.

The wonderful students of Hardenhuish School had fun playing Jenga with our residents. Brick by brick the tension increased as each tried to avoid the tower tumbling down!

Jenga is a game of physical skill that supports hand-eye coordination and decision making, old and young thoroughly enjoyed playing together.
