Activities at Cheverton Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians, as well as art therapy, flower arranging, Exercise to music and quizzes. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as they can, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.

Flamenco Fun
Cheverton Lodge residents had the opportunity to try a little bit of Spanish dancing with the fantastic group Trovador, sponsored by Live Music Now.
Dance Therapy
Residents love their weeklly dance therapy sessions with Petronella, this time in the garden! They enjoyed some well deserved Pimm's, strawberries & cream and sandwiches after their rigorous exercise.
