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.

Brownies Sing for Residents
White Lodge were delighted to welcome the Royal Wootton Bassett Brownies who sang beautifully for our residents. Thank you so much for coming along to White Lodge it was an absolute pleasure having you all visit.
Deck the Halls....
White Lodge could not have felt more Christmassy as we decorated the home we were accompanied by our two resident pianists. With beautiful music it was all hands on deck to turn White Lodge into a festive wonderland. The residents were such a help and we are sure you will agree the results look stunning.
Elf Fun!
The White Lodge team were fantastic today as they took part in Elf Day for the Alzheimer’s Society, the home was scattered with elves including four legged ones! What a great fun day we all had while raising funds and awareness for this vital cause. Pam still wore a pair of her stunning heels while Lucy's elf slippers look very comfortable for everyday wear going forward!
Christmas Fayre a Great Success
White Lodge recently held their Christmas fayre, with a lovely variety of stalls and even a bouncy castle! It was a great opportunity for some Christmas shopping and we would like to thank the stall holders and all those who attended. It was a great start to the festive season.
Celebrating Barchester's 30 Years of Care with a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
White Lodge residents and staff celebrated Barchester’s 30 years of care in style with a Mad Hatter's Tea Party. The home was transformed into a wonderland with not only an afternoon tea but also a birthday cake.
Our very own Alice, White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts and Mad Hatter bought many smiles with entertainment from Jessica Fay, so much fun was had by all. The decorations were beautiful and transported us all down the rabbit hole. We were delighted so many family and friends could join us.
Thank you so much to the amazing White Lodge team who made this event such a success.
