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
Birthday's in the visiting suite
Here at Corrina Lodge we are so lucky to have the great addition of our visiting suite. It means that families can spend time with loved ones comfortably and safely. Freda had a fabulous 90th birthday recently and our suite came alive with fun and laughter.
Entertaining in a virtual world
Although we are unable to entertainers through the door at the moment, we understand the importance of social interaction. So Daniel a local entertainer and friend to the home, agreed to play a concert for us via Zoom. It was a different experience but one everyone enjoyed all the same. Everyone had their feet tapping and heads bopping.
