Activities at Cepen Lodge Care Home
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.

Oktoberfest
What a brilliant time we had Celebrating Oktoberfest at Cepen Lodge!
It was a time to celebrate in style with staff and residents all dressing up to get into the spirit of the celebration.
With traditional food and music it was a celebration that everyone could enjoy. We thoroughly enjoy our theme afternoons at Cepen Lodge and are already looking forward for the next event!
26 miles for Alzheimer's Support
The team at Cepen Lodge took on the challenge of walking 26 miles from Bath to Bishops Cannings to raise all important funds for Alzheimer's society.
8 members of staff took on the challenge of walking the 26 mile along the canal, to raise awareness for a cause that is close to a lot of heart.
It really was a team effort with residents, their relatives, and staff offering their support, and followed the team with their live updates throughout the challenge.
With aching joints and sore feet they made it to the finish line raising an incredible amount if £1705!
Supporting charities is an important part of life here at Cepen Lodge.
Butterfly World and Farm Park
We have been busy getting out and about in our mini bus this week.
We had a brilliant trip out to Studley Grange Butterfly World and Farm Park we our residents had the opportunity to get up close and personal with their selection of animals.
It was brilliant to see so many different beautiful creatures, from Otters, Butterflies and even a pair of tortoise's
Our Residents even managed to feed some of them which was an amazing experience. Of course none of trips out are complete without a stop for a well deserved cup of tea .

Summer Bash at Cepen Lodge!
What a brilliant afternoon we had at our Summer Bash! It was an afternoon full of good food, great company and some brilliant entertainment.
A big Thankyou to Chippenham Fire Station and Chippenham Police Station who made the day special with their visit. Our residents and team and the community really enjoyed chatting with the teams exploring the fire engine and police car (and trying on the kit!!).
Thankyou to everyone who came and supported the day, with tombola games and the bids on our auction we have raised more money to support the work at Chippenham Community Hub.
Tour at Chippenham Firestation!
Some of our staff and residents recently went to visit Chippenham Fire Station for a tour of the station and engines.
We had a go at spraying the hoses, trying on hats and Dave even climbed in the fire engine.
We learnt lots about how to become a firefighter and what the job involves, and reminisced on what fire engines used to come equipped with years ago.
Huge thank you to Jack and his team at Group 2 for being so accommodating, and for such a fun afternoon!
We are looking forward to coming back again with some more residents.
