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.

Corrina Lodge collectsbottle tops for Charity

Resident Chairman Mark Girdler asked the Corrina Lodge Community to start collecting milk bottle tops. Everyone is now getting into the habit of saving them and we have our first full bag ready to drop off. The recycled milk bottle tops are being collected for #chilternairambulance. It has certainly encouraged discussions about recycling and what more we could be doing as a community.

Two Fantastic Men, remembering with our Camberley Community

Residents at Corrina Lodge have been busy getting creative using recycled bottles and creating poppies for a challenge set up by local church High Cross. Rev Mike asked everyone in the community to turn Camberley red this November and we wanted to play our part. The finished tribute looked brilliant and was a real team effort. Manager Dumitru Varzaru also visited High Cross Church on Remembrance Sunday to deliver a poppy wreath from the  Corrina Lodge Community and it was very gratefully received. Corrina’s links with the Community continue to grow and certainly enhance the lives of our residents.

Baking tastey Treats

Baking is a regular activity at Corrina and residents enjoy spending time together chatting and creating tasty treats. These delicious ginger nut biscuits were a great success and certainly tasted as good as they look.

Always remember the 5th of November...

The Corrina Community had a bonfire supper together, found our inner child and enjoyed some sparklers, but most importantly treated ourselves to a delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. It was a wonderful evening and residents said they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Spa Afternoon

Last week our fabulous activities team transformed one of our lounge's into a tranquil spa retreat.. Residents enjoyed therapeutic massage and ambient music. We will definitely be making this a regular part of our lives here at Corrina. Very much an all round hit!

When the Mayor comes for Lunch

We were visited by the fabulous Mayor of Surrey Heath. The Lady Mayor, Councillor Sarah Jane Croke, joined  our General manager Dumitru Vazaru, staff team members and our wonderful residents for prosseco and hors d'oeuvres in reception. We then gathered for lunch, which was prepared by our fantastic Head Chef Kathleen Foster. The Mayor said she had thoroughly enjoyed her time with the Corrina Lodge Community and complimented us on having such a warm and welcoming home. Before the Mayor departed resident chairman Mr Mark Girdler presented her with a bouquet of flowers.
