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.

Gardening Club

We love spending time in our garden, it is an environment where our residents and their families can sit, relax and enjoy a variety of exciting gardening activities. With the help of our residents in the gardening club we have been busy planting bulbs in the new raised beds at the front of the home.

Coronation Celebrations

Coronation celebrations. Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style. Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal tea party. The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering. Our talented chef prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of fizz.We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.

Naional Museum Day

For National museum day we spent the afternoon with some of our residents at Carneige Library and Gallery. Lots to reminisce over, and for our residents to be back in a place they loved to visit with family or friends! Of course a wee cup of tea afterwards.

The rich history of coronations

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

Celebrating Easter in Style

We celebrated Easter in style with a whole host of themed activities and egg-cellent entertainment. Our residents enjoyed making Easter chicks, attending a church service, hot cross buns; a special visit from the Nursery where Residents judged the Easter bonnet competition. As always, we’ve had an amazing time.
