Activities at White Lodge Care Home

White Lodge are delighted to have a new Pets as Therapy dog - meet Casper. He was an absolute delight and the residents abdolutely loved him. Happily going around the whole home, he met everyone. A beautiful boy both inside and out.

What a fantastic Bonfire Weekend at White Lodge - it really went off with a bang!

Residents, staff and families all got together for such an enjoyable evening. We were delighted so many people could attend, it was a wonderful atmosphere. The hospitality team cooked a tasty barbeque and there were plentiful supplies of hot drinks as well as treats hand made by residents. Maintenance took charge of the display and burning our very own guy! The colours were spectacular, lighting up the countryside all around. The rain held off so many residents could come outside and those who were not able to were positioned so they could watch the display from inside. Thank you to activities and all the team for another memorable White Lodge event.

White Lodge residents had a lovely time today making Halloween Fruit Skewers. They carefully selected the fruit for each skewer and then got creative with the pumpkins - what great pumpkin characters they made. We then went around the home and everyone really enjoyed the fruit and seeing the pumpkins!

Brent and Lou from our maintenance team created their very own workshop to make the guy for our Guy Fawkes night celebration.  What a great job they have all done making our very own White Lodge Guy.

With such a beautiful autumn day we took the opportunity to go outside and pick a range of leaves for a craft project. Using the selection of leaves White Lodge residents created leaf wreaths. The autumn crafts around the home are looking great, there is nothing better than the colours of nature.

White Lodge celebrated Dewali, the Festival of Light. While creating beautiful decorations, Lucy spoke about the meaning behind the festival which is celebrated over 5 days. It symobolizes the spirital "victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance" it marks the start of the Hindu New Year, with the date changing each year in line with the moon. Everyone agreed that it was such a positive celebration and enjoyed seeing the decorations on display.
