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
St Columba’s Church Fun Day!
The residents at Canmore had a lovely recent visit up to the church’s fun day! What a beautiful day it was, the sun shining everyone laughing and just having some good old fashioned chit chat. There were lots of different stalls from home knitted baby woollens to lots of handmade knits and nats.
To finish off there were plenty of refreshments in tow from burgers and baps to cuppas and cakes
Thank you so much to all the staff and volunteers who made us feel so welcome and off course for all their hard work for bringing together an event like this.
Entertainment with Jamie Dee
Thank you so much to Jamie for coming in and entertaining our residents and staff! It's safe to say everyone had an amazing time, dancing and having a good sing-along! We all loved a good try at the Slosh as well as the YMCA! The residents love a live entertainer coming to visit the home. It’s a nice change of pace for them and they get to have a sing and a boogie! Thank you to the staff for making it a more memorable experience for them as well!
Cornish Seal Sanctuary
A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!
Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
Canmore Olympics
Canmore held their own Olympics this year to celebrate the 2024 Olympic games in France, with some fun games and a little friendly competition. Had some fun little cardboard cut-outs as well, which the residents really enjoyed! We played bowling, “beer” pong and the residents had an absolute blast!
Canmore's car boot sale
Canmore had their first ever car boot sale on the 3rd of August! It was a blast. Our residents enjoyed themselves, and everyone enjoyed the good weather and a bit of food as well. Next year our Car Boot Sale will be bigger and better than ever! So keep your eyes peeled for next time. Thanks to the staff that came along to help make the day better! We appreciate the effort you guys put in, into making it a fun day for our residents!
Pet therapy!
The residents at Canmore had another wee visit from the gorgeous Poppy, thank you so much Brian, who works as a volunteer at Carid Pet Therapy for a lovely afternoon.
The residents enjoyed lovely cuddles as she pottered around enjoying the attention. Pet therapy creates a sense of calm and a sense of purpose for our residents.
