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.

I thoroughly enjoy my job and have achieved an NVQ Level 3 in Activities whilst working here. During my time here, I have met some truly amazing people and I feel privileged to work in a home with such a sense of community.

Life at Corrina Lodge Care Home
Ally bearing gifts
A massive thank you to Tesco's at the Meadows Centre for sending along the very lovely Ally Watson - Tesco's Community Champion, bearing gifts for residents and staff. Ally, seen in the picture below with Sharon, our Life Enrichment lead is known to us at Corrina Lodge as she also made 160 'scrub bags' for our staff to carry their uniforms throughout lockdown. How lucky are we to have friends like Tesco's and Ally
U3A Ukulele Band visits and entertains
We were joined by U3A Ukulele Band in our lovely gardens. Residents enjoyed listening to a great selection of music including, Abba, George Fornby, Status Quo and lots more. Lots of toe tapping and singing along.
Fundraising for The Hope Hub
Residents and staff at the home put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ by pledging to cycle 120miles to raise funds for The Hope Hub a charity based in Camberley which is working to prevent and end homelessness in Surrey Heath Borough and surrounding areas.
Dumitru Varzaru, our General Manager at Corrina Lodge said: “We love to fundraise for charities throughout the year, we pick different causes to support that have been selected by staff, residents and friends of the home. The Hope Hub is a great cause that helps many people in need. We feel really proud to have been able to a brilliant £422.00 for this fantastic charity. A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated!
