Cedar Lodge As a member of NAPA (a leading activity and engagement charity), our award-winning activities team continuously prioritise wellbeing, delivering meaningful activities, experiences and events adapted to the daily wishes of residents, from birthday and anniversary tea parties, pampering days, and cookery workshops to intergenerational activities with local schools, visiting entertainers and Pets as Therapy.
Activities are tailored towards the individual, supported by life story work, in line with Cedar Lodge’s ethos of a person-centred approach to care. Community outreach is important to Cedar Lodge, as well as supporting residents with their individual hobbies. For our residents who are less able, we provide 1:1 therapeutic activities.
There is a strong sense of community at Cedar Lodge, but residents are free to be more private whenever they choose. Family and friends are welcome at any time.
Cedar Lodge has partnered with Famileo to create personalised newsletters for our residents filled with photos and messages from their loved ones. Every family member/friend can share updates and photos from their day-to-day life with just a few clicks on the Famileo app. Residents will then receive a printed copy to enjoy.
“The activities leader does a wonderful job providing a wide range of interesting activities to keep everyone happy and participating.” “The activities room was buzzing with residents all chatting and obviously happy.” – Relative reviews on carehome.co.uk

Scrabble continues to be the residents favourite weekend activity and it’s become a popular weekly tournament!
Encouraging good nutrition and hydration… And to also have a bit of fun… We host a monthly food market in our main lounge for residents to enjoy some of their favourite foods from around the world, or maybe to even try something new! Either way, it never fails to spread a smile or two.
Wimbledon week was full of Pimm’s, cream tea and tennis cheer… the way it should be!
We have many talented artists living at Cedar Lodge. They all enjoy afternoons painting while chit chatting together.
At Cedar Lodge we are always trying to create special experiences for our residents… including a Fine Dining meal in our restaurant. Mrs Draper commented “What a delightful experience. We eat very well here on a daily basis but this was an extra special meal”
To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE day we enjoyed delicious food, themed music and lots of singing. Our Care Manager Nenita also brought in a selection of medals earned by her father-in-law during WW2; sharing tails of his accomplishments to start a group reminiscence session.
Our resident’s choose what activities they want to do every day. Even if it is to complete a giant and creative jigsaw! Well done Marsinah on finishing it!
We celebrated Mother’s Day with some fun dress up and a delicious afternoon tea spread.
As part of out evening activities, we hosted a night in at the races. We placed bets and enjoyed a few drinks and nibbles all together.
When the weather is wet outside, it is a good excuse for board games. Everyone enjoyed a team activity putting together a world jigsaw, which started a lovely discussion on where in the world everyone had travelled.
We’re delighted to say that we have a Sharp Interactive Activity Table. Essentially a giant iPad, our residents can play games, Skype, watch movies or even stroll down memory lane with Google earth or family photos. We received this present from Senior Management during our 30th Anniversary celebrations and the table is already being enjoyed by our residents.
