Activities at Canmore Lodge Care Home

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy.

Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles.

Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.

We continue to celebrate a varied life enrichment programme and across our services we linked up with other Barchester care homes and hospitals up and down the country for some interactive Beat the Clock games. 

Our residents truly enjoyed solving word puzzles, conundrums and mathematical problems as part of Barchester’s very own game show series.

Everyone who joined had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

Gather round! Gather round! Canmore had a staff talent show where we all put on our rest performances for the residents pure joy and entertainment! These photos are only a few snippets as to what was put on and if I could post photos and videos together.... I would , our staff, have done an amazing job as well as some of the residents who joined to show their talents as well!

Deep Sea World, here we come!

This past week, some of our residents went to Deep Sea World and they absolutely loved it!, all of our residents got to see the seals getting fed, They got to see the wide variety of fishes and other sea and land creatures and of course the dark and mysterious shark tunnel ! All in all, our residents had a great time getting to see the old aquarium for either the first time or after not seeing it for years!
