Activities at Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Sophia Reed

Activities Coordinator

Hi, I'm Sophia, the Activities Coordinator at Bryn Ivor Lodge. My top priority is making sure our residents feel happy and cosy in their homes. I'm a super crafty person and love coming up with new and exciting activities for everyone to enjoy. When I'm not busy planning, you can usually spot me outside tending to the garden - especially when the sun is shining!

Pudding Club at Bryn Ivor Lodge!

Pudding Club was a hit, attracting 25 enthusiastic residents, families, and visitors! We were thrilled to have two local councillors, Trevor Watkins and Allan Screen, join us—thank you both for your time and incredible energy.

The competition was fierce, but in the end, the zingy Key Lime Pie took home the gold, followed closely by the delightful Manchester Puffs filled with jam and coconut for second place. And let's not forget the scrumptious vanilla cheesecake topped with a mixed berry compote, which brought up the rear in style.

 I'm excited to report that we had ZERO leftovers! What a fantastic day of fun and flavour.

Elvis Birthday Celebration!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS!! 

We recently hosted an unforgettable celebration for the iconic Elvis Presley’s 90th Birthday, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as fans from all around gathered to pay tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. 

Victor Andrews tribute to EP  led the celebration with his incredible tribute performance, capturing the essence of Elvis with his stunning vocals and charisma. Wearing a striking outfit reminiscent of Elvis's most famous looks, he had the crowd dancing and singing along to all the classics! 

After the show we shared stories about Elvis's legendary performances and how his music has touched our lives over the years. 

It was an afternoon filled with laughter, joy, and a deep appreciation for the unforgettable Elvis Presley

It's the perfect opportunity to meet new people and create lasting friendships while enjoying some friendly competition.
