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
25 Year Anniversary!
Corrina Lodge had a very special celebration for devoted Activity coordinator Sharon who has worked at Corrina Lodge for an amazing 25 years. Dumitru the home manager donned his chef’s hat and cooked up a delicious BBQ for all to enjoy. It was a wonderful celebration with lots of fun and community spirit.
Fulfilling Wishes
Earlier this week we took some of our lovely gentleman residents out for a trip to the arcades.
We all had so much fun and it was so lovely to see them enjoying themselves.
We are very much enjoying being able to fulfil residents wishes again.
Great Company
Earlier today, we took this picture of Len, one of our fabulous respite residents, to send to his wife.
Len wanted his wife to know what excellent company he keeps here at Corrina Lodge.
She's naughty and nice
This is our amazing Head Chef Kathleen Foster.
Kathleen has worked in the care sector all of her working life. She has a great understanding of what our residents' needs for their diets and always does her utmost to accommodate them.
She love's to make home cooked dishes from scratch and always promote a nutritional diet. Kathleen enjoy's cooking traditional dishes that residents can relate to and look as good as they taste.
On the naughty but nice side, Kathleen pride's myself on baking some delicious cakes and biscuits for residents to enjoy.
Nothing is too much trouble and she will always do her best to create a wonderful dining experience for the Corrina Community
Celebrating our Team
Last week was 'International Carers Week'.
Corrina Lodge's General Manager, Dumitru used the opportunity to spoil our much loved carers and supporting teams. It was time to celebrate our staff.
Dumitru himself lit our BBQ and served the team with a lunch time BBQ to say thank you for all their hard work and dedication.
The BBQ was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by one and all.
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful team.
Jubilee Celebrations
We had such a wonderful time at our Jubilee Celebrations and enjoyed a delicious spread prepared by our amazing chef Kathleen. Guests were welcomed by our manager Dumitru who really got into the spirit of the celebrations and greeted guests dressed as a Beefeater Royal Palace Guard. We were also joined by the very talented U3A Ukulele Band. Residents, their family and friends said they had had an absolute blast.
