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
Celebrating International Nurses Day
We celebrated the anniversary of the birth of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale, also known as International Nurses Day, by acknowledging our dedicated and hard-working nurses.
To mark the occasion and to say thank you, our residents made appreciation cards for our dedicated nursing team, and our nurses reflected on what the day means for them.
Every staff member at our home is going above and beyond. A big thank you to all.
Spring fling brings community together
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Canmore Lodge to enjoy a Spring Fling that was held in the home’s grounds Canmore Lodge hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including a BBQ, small stalls including a resident’s creation stall, live entertainment, which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.
Staff at Canmore Lodge made everyone feel welcome and were delighted to see different generations having fun together. Visitors enjoyed plenty of refreshments and food prepared by the catering team, who were hard at work making sure that a great time was had by all – it really was a team effort!
Good Luck, Jane!
Congratulations Jane!!! Everyone in Canmore Lodge came together to celebrate Jane Aitken, Senior General Manager, on her promotion to Regional Director. Jane has been with us at Canmore Lodge for many years so we wanted to do something special for her.

Canmore Staff Awards
We had a wonderful afternoon in the home celebrating Canmore Lodges first ever Staff Awards for 2024. The residents curated the categories for the awards with titles such as ‘Road Runner’ for the member of staff who runs around the most.
Residents, staff and relatives were all eligible to nominate and we had an awards ceremony to celebrate all of our winners.
Celebrating Cadbury's
Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.
Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.
It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!
Cycling without Age
It's finally come to that time of year again when it's getting a little warmer! This means our lovely residents get to go on a wee bike ride around the Glen again! Thank you so much for the team at Cycling Without Age for reaching out again this year. This gives our residents a chance to see the Glen again and see it in all its glory.
