Activities at Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home
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.
Anna Przybylska
Hello, my name is Anna and I am the Lead Activities Co-ordinator in Bryn Ivor Lodge.
I have a degree In Tourism & Hotel Management, with specialisation in Organising Events & Activities’. I have also finished several courses and training to be able to deliver excellent activities that would work best in care settings.
I have begun my career as Activities Co-ordinator over 15 years ago and gained really good experience working in various care settings.
I am very compassionate about my job and I take great pleasure in helping others and seeing people happy. My main priority is to provide activities tailored to the needs of our Residents. I always make sure all our Residents feel included and interested in the activities our home provides. Nothing is too much trouble for me and I hope our Residents and their family and friends will spend many memorable moments enjoying the activities and events we provide.

Life at Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home
Pleasant Sounds at Bryn Ivor
We invited a choir into our home to perform during Care Home Open Day. They had a fantastic sound and we would definitely like to have them back again.
Celebrating the Queen's Birthday at Bryn Ivor
It was a fun-filled day at Bryn Ivor, as we got everyone together to celebrate the Queen's Official Birthday. Staff, residents and relatives all put their patriotic hats on to wish Her Royal Majesty the greatest of birthdays and to join her in - what we assumed would be - a day of partying.
Cake Decorating at Bryn Ivor
We had a cake decorating session at Bryn Ivor Lodge. There was lots of talent and skills on show to produce such beautiful finished cakes! After baking the cakes they were enjoyed by all the residents.
