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.

White Lodge Donate Hampers to Purton Age Concern

Just before Christmas Barchester White Lodge donated hampers to Purton & District Age Concern. These hampers were distributed by volunteers from Age Concern to older people in the local community. Tina set the elves to work putting together the beautifully presented hampers ready to be delivered. They looked wonderful and we are sure will have bought a smile to those who received them. Thank you to Peter Berry who is Chairman of Purton and District Age Concern for all that you do to support older people in the area.

Thank you so much to the Reaper Rats bike group who tirelessly raise funds for Dementia UK and to support carehomes in the area by surprising residents with visits and gifts. Everyone absolutely loved their bags.

Thank you so much to Nigel and his team.

Santa Walk!

Today was White Lodge's annual Santa Walk and what great fun we all had.  The weather was unusally mild for the time of year so we walked further than planned around the grounds and down the lane.  The fun and festivities continued into the afternoon with cheese and wine.  We will all sleep well tonight!
