Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
Intergenerational Christmas Corrina Tots Party
Residents, tots, family and friends enjoyed a wonderful party and we also welcomed the wonderful Ali from our local Camberley Library who shared some Rhyme Time fun.
The Corrina Community absolutely loved having all the lovely families joining us for lots of Christmas fun and singing.
Connections with the local schools and community certainly brighten our days. The tots were so pleased with festive treats our wonderful residents prepared for them.
Our very own Mrs Claus, Resident Jackie, had been busy clicking her knitting needles together to hand craft beautiful baby stockings.
We look forward to many more intergenerational life enrichment sessions in the New Year.
Mayor of Surrey Heath and Families Light Up Corrina
We had an absolutely wonderful day as we kicked off our Countdown to Christmas. A huge thank you to family, friends, staff and residents for working their magic, decorating beautifully and helping to light up our home.
We welcomed the fabulous Katie with her Tap About Town Show which really was spectacular and full of energy. It certainly had everyone taping their toes, singing along and having lots of fun.
Lovely Jean joined us with her Christmas Table Top Sale and residents, staff, family and friends enjoyed a bit of seasonal retail therapy.
As if that wasn't enough to top it off we welcomed the wonderful Surrey Heath Mayor who switched on our Christmas Lights with our brilliant manager Dumitru Varzaru.
All that was left was raise a glass and enjoy a warming mulled wine and a homemade mince pie courtesy of our wonderful Head Chef Kathleen.
Here at Corrina it is so important to us to celebrate the good times together as a community.
Those were the days!
It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to join Mark on a journey of nostalgia and catching up with good friends.
Mark lived at Yateley Industries for 30 years in a lovely bungalow in a wonderful community. He also spent 20 years of his employment working as a textiles printer there, before moving to a new job at the local Waitrose & Partners, for 10 years.
Mark was clearly a very loved and valued member of the community and was recognised by many on the visit. We heard some wonderful stories of the support Mark had given to others at Yateley Industries whilst he lived there.
Mark continues his great work within the Corrina Lodge Family as part of the team and is our Resident Ambassador. He is an advocate for fellow residents and their families and friends always going that extra mile.
Yateley Industries is a real community hub and we were made incredibly welcome. This amazing charity and community holds a very warm place in Marks heart. We will definitely be visiting again!
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.
