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
Meeting the Reindeers
Across our homes we got into the Christmas spirit of things by joining a festive live virtual experience, led by Des and Kelly from Performing Pets.
Our residents were thrilled to meet the charming furry friends and get up close and personal with the reindeers.
We certainly learnt some interesting facts about the animals and had a fantastic time.
Christmas Chains
Residents at Canmore continuing with the festive theme having fun whilst enjoying making Christmas paper chains to decorate our home, Lots of festivities leading up to Christmas decorate our home for this lovely festive season!
St Andrew’s Day
We celebrated St. Andrews day with a bang!!
Thank you to Emma McDonald's dance school for entertaining our residents as well. You all were amazing! Our residents loved being able to see the children perform some lovely classic dances that really brings their spirits up! Thank you to Honor, who played the Bagpipes for us! Gotta love hearing thee old Scottish classics! It was a fun evening and especially with some wine and nibbles as well.
39th Fife Scouts Christmas Fair!
Some of our residents got a chance to see the wonderful Christmas fair that the scouts put together. There were some lovely hand crafted items and even a wee raffle as well thank you to the scouts for inviting us! We had a wonderful time! Our residents love being able to see what community groups do at Christmas time and we are very thankful that our residents get this opportunity!
Balloon Volleyball
Sometimes the smallest thing can bring such happiness and fun. When the balloons come out, the residents love it! We could be batting the balloons around for ages, and they still get excited about it. The carers get stuck in as well to encourage more of our residents to join, and we love seeing everyone having fun!
Fun with footballs!
An exciting day with our residents, everyone loves to join in when fit care is in! Especially if they get to kick or throw footballs! This activity wasn't just for fun, it got them moving and thinking about how to move muscles they don't tend to use often...whilst also aiming for Lindsay thank you to fit care for coming and keeping our residents fit as well as having fun with them!
