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.

Volunteers Thanked for Making a Big Difference
Volunteers from Lloyds Banking Group have recently been chipping in at Canmore Lodge Care Home in Dunfermline by helping to clear and develop the gardens for the residents at the home.
The ten volunteers, donated their time to clear some of the overgrown grass in the homes surrounding gardens, and planted colourful, aromatic flowers around for the residents to enjoy.
Jane Aitken, Senior General Manager at Canmore Lodge said: “Our care home is like a family and our volunteers are a part of that family, loved and valued by everyone. It takes special kind of people to give up so much of their time to help others in the community and we are lucky to have had such fantastic volunteers support us in the gardens”.
