Activities at Werrington Lodge Care Home
Our specialist activities staff 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. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, 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 with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Werrington Lodge Care Home
Birds of Prey Visit
Werrington Lodge recently had a visit from CJ’s Birds of Prey!
As you can see, the birds were magnificent, and the afternoon proved to be a major success for not only the residents, but we had lovely feedback from friends and relatives who joined us for the afternoon.
It is incredible to see the birds in a wildlife surrounding, but to see them up close and be able to hold them is something else.
The birds they brought were amongst a few: a Snowy Owl who was lovely and didn’t mind resting on our resident’s arm, and an Eagle Owl who was a little more austere.
So we would like to thank CJ’s Birds of Prey for coming and bringing these magnificent birds with them. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon!
The residents really enjoy it when we have animal events in the home as they most definitely benefit from handling them and talk about them long after the entertainers have gone.
A visit from Whittlesey Motorcycle Club
We were visited by the Whittlesey Motorcycle Club who brought approximately10 bikes and also a tri car which had been hand built by Tony, the owner, and had taken over 2 years.
Tony took some of the residents around the block in it and they absolutely loved it, one of the residents was telling everyone all about it for days! He loved the photo that he had taken in it which he proudly displays in his room.
The residents loved seeing the shiny motorcycles and speaking to the owners/riders. It was most definitely something different for them and we would like to thank Andy again, and his fellow club members, for taking the time to come out to us and show the residents their machines.
It was very much appreciated and we hope to do it again sometime!
National Cat Day
Werrington Lodge Celebrates National Cat Day with Heart warming Visit from Cat Rescue
In celebration of National Cat Day, Werrington Lodge had the pleasure of hosting a special event featuring Trevor and Jill from the Cat Rescue organisation. Their visit was not only informative but also brought immense joy to our community.
Trevor and Jill shared valuable insights into their cat re-homing procedures, providing an in-depth look at how they care for and find forever homes for these beloved animals. To the delight of our residents, their families, and our staff, they also brought along some adorable kittens. These tiny bundles of joy quickly won the hearts of everyone present, with many attendees expressing interest in adopting them.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Trevor and Jill for their dedication to animal welfare and for making our National Cat Day celebration truly special. Your commitment to these wonderful animals is deeply appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back to our community in the future.
Happy National Cat Day to all cat lovers!
