Activities at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

I am always thinking of new activities and events, and ways to engage with our local community for our residents benefit. Cepen Lodge is a great team that I am proud to be a part of.
Activities and Events Partnerships

Life at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Avebury to Stonehenge hike
To round off a busy month at Cepen, Jade and some of her team completed the Avebury to Stonehenge hike. Raising money for Alzheimer’s Support – the local Dementia support group here in Wiltshire. The team accomplished an astounding 27 miles through challenging terrain, battling nature (wind, rain and occasional sun.)
A special thank you to our support driver and motivator Kevin, who regularly gives up his Saturdays to ferry us around. We couldn’t continue to come up with mad fundraising ideas without him. Along with our sense of pride, there are many aching joints and a few blisters to say the least.
Well done to everyone involved!
Dog Show
We had a great day today at our annual dog show raising money for Dogs Trust.
A huge thank you to everyone who came and entered their dog into our classes. Our residents had a lovely time meeting everyone and, as always, we had a great turn out (and weather!).
VE Day anniversary celebrations at Cepen Lodge
We had a wonderful time celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day in true Cepen style.
We first had a 1940s-themed best-dressed competition amongst the staff, followed by a garden party with entertainment by the fabulous D-Day Dollies.
REME Museum Visit
Last week, we took some of our veterans out to the REME museum. We had a great time with residents sharing stories and reminiscing on their time in the army.
The team came back full of knowledge after some great lessons from Dave (who also put our senior general manager Jade right on the correct way to do a salute.) Smiles all around.
Spring Fete
We had a lovely fun-filled day at our spring fête this weekend, fundraising money for Alzheimer’s Support.
The sun eventually shone for us, and we had a great BBQ and party in the garden.
Easter Celebrations
This past week, our residents at Cepen Lodge have been busy preparing for Easter, from flower arranging to egg decorating and making Easter bonnets.
The Easter bunny also made a special appearance to deliver Easter eggs, spreading joy and happiness and putting smiles on all our residents' faces.
