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.

Bird Box Week
It's National Nest Box Week, so here at White Lodge, we created and decorated some bird boxes to be put up for the birds to enjoy.
Sewing Groups
We have started a Sewing Group here at White Lodge, and the residents are sewing flowers to canvases and shopping bags, and are hoping to sell them throughout the year. This is a good social gathering and lots off reminiscing went on, followed by plenty of tea and cakes being eaten.
