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
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.
Enjoying Life
Residents have been making the most of our mini bus during October and have been out and about enjoying the autumn sunshine.
Gillian and Mavis had a super time visiting Redfield’s Garden Centre in Church Crookham and enjoyed a light lunch and a lovely browse, dare I say it, at all of the Christmas displays.
Betty and Beryl have visited Camberley Library to do their Storytime volunteering.
This is now a monthly outing and we are always made incredibly welcome by the children and the library team.
Tablet Takes Over
Here at Corrina Lodge we have been able to purchase an amazing Rainbow Tablet from generous donations made my family members and local community.
The tablet has been a HUGE success with our residents and enables them to play all sorts of word and memory games.
The tablet is interactive and allows our residents to tap into their competitive spirt, whether it's against another resident or the tablet itself!
It's a Dogs Life
We celebrated our annual dog show this year with an amazing turn out of all different breeds, big, small and everything in between.
The dog show is such an amazing day and provides such a great community spirit with not just the attendees but also for our residents too who get the chance to cuddle and pet all the dogs that visit us.
We had some amazing categories with some very well deserved winners but the prize for the coolest pooch goes to this beauty!
Cultivating Wellbeing
It is so wonderful to see the fruits of our labour and the results of our tender loving care.
We love that our brilliant head chef Kath has been using our home grown mixed lettuce leaves, radishes and spring onions to prepare some delicious fresh salads.
We have recently harvested our tomatoes and our residents are planning are planning to make some autumn chutney.
The Corrina Lodge Community are proud of their garden and certainly enjoy the benefits of this wonderful space and all it has to offer!
