Activities at White Lodge Care Home

Our Activities Coordinators here at White Lodge enjoy the fulfillment of helping residents feel important and a part of something. Meaningful moments are created through laughter and comfort. A varied activities programme is offered for the betterment of residents' bodies and minds, including music for health, 'Oomph' sessions and chair Zumba, in addition to coffee and cake groups that all inevitably lead to giggles and old fashioned singalongs. Also, we organise parties, trips out, walks in the country, bus outings and wonderful entertainers to visit our home. A sneaky tipple is always welcomed with cheese and crackers and, at the end of the day, it is important to go home knowing our activities have made a difference.

Bonfire Night

We had a fantastic time at White lodge celebrating Bonfire Night!

It was a successful event bring our community together in an  evening of celebration and remembrance.

The sky was filled with vibrant fireworks which'd lighted up some many faces. It was a pleasure to bring our community together for the evening with the community and families joining our residents. The evening really did go off with a bang as we celebrated  tradition, and a true sense of togetherness.

It really was a night to remember!

At White Lodge we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community.

Diwali Celebrations

What a brilliant time we had recently celebrating Diwali!


Residents at White Lodge helped with  decorations to mark the occasion making colourful patterned "rangoli" and electric candles at the reception to welcome the guests for the event. 

Diwali honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, the lights help Lakshmi find her way into people's home. 
The chef prepared traditional Indian dishes including onion bhaji, samosa, traditional Indian cookies, Indian sweets and masala tea for all our residents and their families to enjoy!

The staff even performed a special bollywood dance for the residents with many of them swaying along to the music.

National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at White Lodge remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.

Harvest Festival Celebration

We had a brilliant time at our recent Harvest Festival Celebration.

It was such a treat to come together with our community to celebrate the change in the season. 
The fabulous Carers Choir provided excellent entertainment, signing well know hits from over the years. 

It was lovely to see so many of our residents dancing and swaying along to the music.

A big thank you to pupils and staff from Longleaze Primary School for putting their creative skills to the test and joining us for our pumpkin carving activity!

This sort of activity is made possible through our close links with local schools, colleges and nurseries. Intergenerational activities are a cornerstone of our life enrichment program.

Pumpkin Patch Visit

What a brilliant day we had recently at White Lodge as we went on our mini bus trip to a pumpkin patch!

Our residents had a brilliant afternoon as we visited Sustain Farm Shop for their pumpkin picking event.

 Getting into the spirit of the season, our residents had the opportunity to pick their own pumpkins and meet some fury friends along the way.

Of course our trips are never complete without a hot cup of tea and slice of home made cake.

Regular outings are just one aspect of our life enrichment program and all the trips we take are at the request of the residents. Our monthly activities calendar boasts a range of outings and entertainment.

The Macmillan Coffee Morning is an annual fundraising event run by Macmillan Cancer Support where people across the UK host and attend Coffee Mornings in aid of Macmillan. Since 1990 it has raised over £310 million for Macmillan.

A Day In The Salon

One of the popular weekend activities is the pamper session at White Lodge where the ladies often queue up for their nails to be done by our life enrichment team.This week the team gave our residents a salon experience by creating a relaxing atmosphere. We played soft music in the background and used lovely aromatherapy which made the difference. Everyone enjoyed relaxing and having their nails done whilst sipping on a lovely hot drink.One of our residents VM said, she used to have her nails done regularly. Now she will not miss it anymore as she will be able to do it here at White Lodge.

Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program and features regularly on our resident-led weekly activity planner.
