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.

Life at Cheverton Lodge Care Home
Alexandra Palace Park
Residents enjoyed a trip out to Alexandra Palace Parl; they had a walk by the lake and finished off with a well-deserved cup of coffee and some cake.
International Women's Day
We celebrated International Woman's Day by remembering all those remarkable women who make a difference through science, arts, sports and politics around the world and by sharing some of the residents' amazing life stories! In the afternoon, Tanisha visited us for some mind and body therapy, which everybody enjoyed, and which was followed with a great afternoon party.
Easter Celebrations
We had a week full of fun activities leading up to Easter Sunday. Residents, relatives and staff members celebrated with a bonnet parade and our very special egg hunting competition.
Pancake Day
Throughout the morning, we spent time making pancake mix with a few residents. Some of them enjoyed helping, whilst others preferred watching, but all of them had a good time!
Residents liked reading a fact sheet about the history of Pancake Day and many were able to remember the original reason for celebrating the occasion, which is, of course, to mark the beginning of Lent.
Staff and residents were each treated to a delicious pancake with a choice of toppings, including lemon, sugar, ice cream, chocolate and berries!
Most residents are very traditional and they preferred “good old lemon and sugar” - not Irene, though, who chose chocolate, cream and berries.
It was a special day and everybody enjoyed reminiscing about the sweet treats that they’ve enjoyed with their families for decades.
Reminiscence Therapy
Residents had the opportunity to recall the past, remembering details of earlier times and sharing their memories with everyone else.
Cheese & Wine Tasting
Every week, we hold a social event where residents can gather together to socialise; on the first week of February, we had a cheese & wine tasting evening. We tasted differents types of cheese and washed them down with some delicious wine. Cheers!
