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.

Life at Cepen Lodge Care Home
Whitehall Christmas Lights
We are definitely getting into the Christmas Spirt here at Cepen Lodge.
Some of our wonderful residents took a trip to the local garden centre Whitehall, to see their beautiful Christmas display.
As you can see from the photos, our residents had a magical afternoon which of course had to be topped off with Coffee and Cake.
Thanks Whitehall Garden Centre for the inspiration,We are already thinking of how we can make our home a magical winter wonderland!
Birthday Celebration!
Some of our lovely residents had a trip to the local pub this week.
It was a very special birthday for one of our wonderful residents, Jean, who turned 92 this week.
Our residents enjoyed a lovely meal out along with a Gin or two.
Pink Gin and Cake, what a great combination.
Cheers ladies!
A Visit From G Fitness!
Our residents always enjoy their mornings when we have a visit from G Fitness!
Its always a productive morning with G-Fitness who teaches us exercises which helps our residents to keep fit and healthy.
At Cepen Lodge we understand that keeping fit is not only good for our physical health but our mental health too.
Thank you to G Fitness for always providing our residents with the support and tools that they need.
We cant wait for the next session.
Halloween Celebration
A huge thank you to the Morrisons Community Champion for donating flowers and pumpkins to our home. Our residents spent the weekend getting creative with carving pumpkin centrepieces ready for our Halloween fancy dress party. We all had a fantastic spooky end to the month!
Whole Home Garden BBQ
Making the most of the last of the summer, our wonderful kitchen and activities teams hosted a whole home barbecue supported by our care team. Both residents and staff enjoyed a great barbecue lunch in the sunshine, the music was playing and we all came together for a lovely afternoon.
Barchester Senior Games
Some of our residents travelled to Kingfisher Lodge, one of our sister homes, where we, along with another of our homes Beaufort Grange, took part in our first Barchester Healthcare Senior Games. Each home participated in a selection of timed activities, it turns out that we all become very competitive when home pride is involved.
All the residents were fantastic competitors and were very proud to be awarded a medal each.
Obviously there has to be a winner, massive congratulations to Beaufort Grange who were the winners of the first Barchester Healthcare senior games.
