I was invited by a friend to come to White Lodge Care Home to see Chloe’s Mobile Farm. It was amazing!

I would recommend anyone looking for care for any family, friends or relatives to visit and experience White Lodge. It is out of this world!
Many thanks for your feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed the event and we are planning for Chloe's Mobile Farm to return again soon.

It is always a pleasure looking after you. We will work harder in providing residents with a happy and meaningful stay in White Lodge. Thank you!
It was with great relief...
It was with great relief that we managed to persuade her to come and stay at White Lodge, initially as respite but very soon after as a resident. Throughout her time there, every one of the staff did their best to make her feel welcome, be part of a big family of residents and ensure her comfort and safety.
As time went by and she became less mobile, it fell to your staff to be even more attentive to her needs and they did not fail her. We are extremely grateful to all of those who took on this responsibility and helped my mum to continue to enjoy a great quality of life with dignity in your care.
The professionalism, respect and personal interest that White Lodge staff showed towards my mum to the end were exemplary and their kindness towards her, especially in difficult times, will always be remembered by us with enormous gratitude.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. The staff recognition and feedback is really appreciated by the whole team who work hard to ensure person centred care in a respectful and professional environment is at the forefront of everything we do at White Lodge. Your feedback is really important to us.
The home is in a beautiful setting and is beautifully quiet and peaceful. Recently it has been refurbished to a very high standard and the common rooms are really nice. All of the staff are very helpful and attentive.

The staff are always helpful and friendly, treating my mother with dignity and kindness. They go out of their way to make the residents happy and really care for their welfare.

Having viewed a number of care homes in and around the Swindon area for our 91 year old mother, we were somewhat disappointed until we visited White Lodge care home, which is literally in a class of its own. Quite simply superb. Led by the General Manager, her team of nurses, carers and other staff provide a truly wonderful and caring service in a relaxed and incredibly comfortable environment. First class.

Hello, my name is Ramona, and I'm the Senior General Manager here at White Lodge. Welcome to our website!
I joined Barchester in 2018 as a Clinical Lead, progressing to Deputy Manager, General Manager and most recently promoted to Senior General Manager of White Lodge.
My focus at White Lodge is to ensure residents have the best possible life and experiences every single day, supported by the skilled and caring team here. I am committed to person-centred care for all our residents, and my door is always open to them and their families.
I have a real passion for nursing, beginning my nursing career in 2004 in Romania as a cardiac nurse. I moved to the UK with my family in 2011, and I have worked in adult general nursing in the UK since then.
For anyone considering care for themselves or for a loved one, our doors are open for you to visit and meet the team.

Hi, my name is Lafane. I joined Barchester as a Bank Nurse, then went permanently on nights. In 2025, I was promoted to Unit Manager, taking a greater responsibility for leading the team and ensuring high standards of care. In 2026, I continued to progress in my career, further developing my leadership and management skills and was promoted to Deputy Manager.
I am passionate about supporting residents to live with dignity, choice and independence, while also supporting and developing the staff around me. I am proud of my journey at White Lodge and look forward to continuing to make a positive difference to the lives of those we care for.

I joined White Lodge as a Care Assistant in February 2026 and, after gaining valuable experience working closely with our residents and their families, I have recently progressed into my role as an Admin Assistant.
My time as a Care Assistant gave me the opportunity to get to know our residents on a personal level and understand how important it is to create a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. Moving into administration has allowed me to develop new skills while continuing to build the relationships I have made with residents, relatives and colleagues.
I particularly enjoy being part of the day-to-day life at White Lodge and meeting the wonderful people who make our home so special. Whether it is having a friendly conversation, supporting families with their queries or helping behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly, I enjoy knowing that my role contributes to the positive experience of our residents.
I feel very proud to be part of the White Lodge team and look forward to continuing to grow in my role.

My name is Suraj, and I am the Activity Coordinator here at White Lodge. I have been part of the Barchester family for the past four years, and during this time I have had the opportunity to develop my skills, build meaningful relationships with residents, families and friends and gain a deeper understanding of person-centred care.
For me, activities are much more than simply filling time. They are about creating meaningful moments, encouraging independence, building confidence and helping residents maintain connections with the people, interests and communities that are important to them.
Most importantly, I want every resident to feel that their voice matters, their interests are valued and that there is always something to look forward to.

Hello. I am Precious. I qualified as a nurse in 2020, and I joined White Lodge in 2024 as a general assistant. I transitioned to become a Registered General Nurse in 2025. Before joining white lodge, I practised in various teaching hospitals and acute settings, as well as completing a master’s degree in Clinical Nursing in South East England.

I am Hamzat. I joined the White Lodge Care Home team in August 2022 as a Health Care Assistant. Since then, through dedication, consistent performance, and commitment to high standards of care, I have progressed to the role of Senior Carer – a meaningful step that reflects my growing expertise and readiness to take on greater responsibility.Over my time here, I have built strong capabilities across core areas of care, particularly in communication: I connect empathetically with residents, families, and colleagues, ensuring everyone feels heard, valued, and fully informed about care plans and daily life at the home.
I have also taken on two important champion roles that shape how we deliver care:
- Speak Up Champion: I encourage open, honest communication across the team, helping colleagues feel safe to raise concerns, share ideas, and speak up for the safety and wellbeing of residents
- Dementia Champion: I lead by example in delivering person-centred support for those living with dementia, promoting understanding, dignity, and approaches that help residents maintain independence and enjoy meaningful moments.Being part of White Lodge has given me the ideal environment to broaden my knowledge across both care and hospitality. I have learned that great care goes beyond meeting physical needs – it also means creating a warm, welcoming, and comfortable “home” atmosphere, where kindness, respect, and attention to detail make every day better for those we support. This experience has deepened my passion for care work and prepared me to take on further leadership and development opportunities in the future.
