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.

Life at White Lodge Care Home
Thank you to our local GP surgeries
We wanted to thank our local GP surgeries for supporting White Lodge during a difficult year. One our the White Lodge residents, Peter, helped our new Activities Assistant, Martine, to make up these lovely little hampers as a gesture of our appreciation.
Our annual Santa walk
Residents at White Lodge felt very festive as they greeted the Christmas season on their annual Santa walk. They completed a circular walk around the beautiful grounds and gardens at White Lodge, which included views of the surrounding countryside, admiring the trees and doing a little bird-spotting. Everyone built up a hearty appetite for the Christmas party that followed. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
Peter's Christmas Trees
Thank you Peter for making all these beautiful, festive tree decorations to display around White Lodge. It is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas here!
A Christmas tree to begin our festivities
We have a beautiful reception area at White Lodge and it is now even more welcoming with our first Christmas tree of the season, lovingly decorated by residents who are looking forward to some happy celebrations here.
Making our own Christmas cards
Doreen and Jeanie enjoyed making Christmas cards ready to send to family and friends. They both always enjoy the creative craft sessions planned by the White Lodge activities team, especially when we start to get festive. Today Nita, our Care Practitioner, joined in the fun and made her own cards with them.
Grandparents' Day Greetings
Residents at White Lodge were delighted to receive cards and greetings from their grandchildren and local school children on Grandparents' Day, reminding us all how wonderful it is when different generations stay in touch.
