Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Corrina Lodge Care Home
International Men's Day
At Corrina Lodge the wellbeing of our residents is incredibly important to us.
So today it was lovely to take some time to celebrate our gents.
It was wonderful to see some of our residents enjoy an outing to The Atrium Camberley Tenpin Bowling, taking time to connect and share some laughs and quality time together.
We also offered wellbeing pamper sessions during the morning, including facials, therapeutic massage and opportunities for mindfulness, which were very much appreciated.
We Will Remember Them
Proudly acknowledging one of our wonderful residents, Jackie, who has been busily knitting poppies, which she herself and wonderful activity assistant, Gina, carefully sewed pins on to sell and raise funds for Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI).
Jackie is an real talent and has raised an incredible £50. We are so proud that she us part of our community here at Corrina Lodge Care Home - Barchester Healthcare
She also proudly presented a wreath at this morning’s Remembrance Service at Lyndhurst School which we were invited to attend. The wreath had some of the beautiful hand knitted poppies attached.
Diwali Celebrations
Here at Corrina Lodge, we celebrated Diwali, The Festival of Light.
Diwali is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness, and for some, also coincides with harvest and new year celebrations.
It is particularly associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity.
We would like to wish all our staff & anyone celebrating this beautiful festival of light, a very Happy Diwali! May your home be filled with love & laughter, may the divine light of Diwali spread peace and happiness in your life.
We were also thrilled and honoured to have the 52nd Mayor of Surrey Heath Sarbie Kang join in our celebrations. Our residents were overwhelmed that the mayor took the time to visit them individually.
Homemade cakes
Our café offers a huge variety of homemade goodies making it the perfect place for our residents to socialise and engage with the local community.
Disco Fever
Residents and Families enjoyed another wonderful disco with Becky.
Becky’s disco’s have become increasingly popular with lots of song requests, laughter and energy.
Here at Corrina Lodge we aim to deliver a diverse selection of person centred life enriching moments. in a nurturing and homely environment for the mind, body and soul, which can include anything from high energy disco’s, to seated yoga for wellbeing and meditation.
Autumn Chutney Taste Test
It was wonderful to get to taste this years green chutney, prepared lovingly buy are garden venture club.
Finally enjoying the fruits of their labour, residents enjoyed a cheese and wine evening with that extra special addition of our home made chutney.
The final verdict was a resounding ‘delicious’ from everyone and resident Jackie exclaimed ‘I’m not in Camberley anymore, I’m in heaven’.
Preparing and cooking dishes is a real therapy for some and we make sure there are plenty of opportunities to do so should you wish.
