Activities at Canmore Lodge Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a variety of events as well as offering tailored programmes to stimulate residents both mentally and physically. There are regular outings in the minibus to local places of interest, such as trips to the beach for ice cream, pub visits for a pint, and regular trips to Dobbies for tea and cakes. Georgie Girl, an old English sheep dog, also stops by the home on regular basis for pet therapy. Musical entertainment is a big hit with residents as well, so we book fan favourites to come and play at the home each month. At Canmore, relatives are always encouraged to join in on the fun too.

Life at Canmore Lodge Care Home
Baking Club
The baking club goes festive, this month residents have focused on all things Christmas, from making gingerbread house to Christmas cake competitions.
Home brings community together at Christmas Fete
Relatives and residents spent the afternoon selling home creations at their stalls to raise money for the residents funds. A whopping £1019.00 was raised on the day. There was home baking, Christmas crafts, Winter Wonderland photographs finished off with a tombola and raffle.
Residents enjoy panto performance
The residents at Canmore Lodge have enjoyed several trips to the Alhambra Theatre to watch Jack and the Beanstalk during the festive season. The pantomime was great and its safe to say the residents loved the theatrics of it all.
A Christmas Carol
Across our homes we’ve had the most wonderful time celebrating the festive season with a special screening of 2020’s OLD VIC: IN CAMERA – A Christmas Carol.
This beautifully staged production brought the magic of Dickens’ classic tale right into our homes. A huge thank you to The Old Vic theatre for sharing this incredible performance with us. It was a truly wonderful experience.
The Holly & the Ivy
Staff and residents across our homes were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.
Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, she specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers. She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.
During the workshop, residents were invited to join Kathryn to make beautiful Christmas-themed table decorations.
Getting into the festive spirit!
The ladies at Canmore Lodge enjoyed a lovely day out at the Dobbies Garden Centre., enjoying some retail therapy and browsing thee lovely Christmas decorations and getting into the festive spirit.
We couldn’t leave without having a wee walk around the aquarium and commenting on the beautiful colours and vast array of fishes and the various tanks available these days. We are looking forward to our next visit!
