Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home

Our chess playing resident Brian, got to test out his skills recently with other like-minded players. Keeping mentally alert and enjoying a friendly game with others who enjoy the challenge of the board, it was a wonderful way to spend a morning. Whilst this wasn't a championship game, the stakes were high with pride being the all important prize. Check mate!

Corrina Lodge residents were treated to an afternoon of chimes and chorus through the very talented handbell choir. The residents enjoyed the soothing sound and gentle acoustics, whilst being taken through a selection of song - what a treat!

The Corrina Lodge Community were so grateful to the Camberley and District Men's Shed who built a  fantastic raised bed for us.

The activity team connected with the charity following one of the homes garden venture meetings. Resident Brian, a keen gardener, suggested growing some veggies this year and thought that a raised bed where fellow residents could join in even if they were wheelchair users would be great. 

The bed was built from reclaimed wood and the charity very generously didn't charge us on this occasion.

The Camberley and District Men's Shed  rely on donations to help them to continue to support their local community with amazing projects like these. They even recently made some hedgehog ladders for the local bowling green, so that the hedgehogs are able to escape if they fall onto the green. 

Such an incredible charity.

We had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating our incredible residents and staff at the Corrina Oscars and enjoyed a wonderful after party together too.

We have so many talented and amazing people living within our community and it was lovely to come together and celebrate each other.

Corrina Lodge had a wonderful Easter Weekend celebrating as a community.

Resident Jackie knitted some lovely Easter baskets which were filled with mini chocolate eggs for visitors. She is so talented and incredibly creative and  was on a mission to make sure there was plenty of  baskets for all.

Another one of our wonderful residents Sarah and her family, Bill and Sian surprised the community with a donation of Easter eggs for every resident in the home. Bill and Sian are members of  MbM Gospel Choir and Motivation by Music (ToC Voices), who generously contributed a fantastic selection of Easter Eggs. The family’s  kindness and generosity certainly put a smile on all of our lovely residents faces.

The finale was a brilliant Easter Family Fun Day. The visit from Browells Wood Pet Therapy and all the lovely animals was a real hit. There was an Easter Egg Hunt with lots of chocolate treats for all to enjoy. Head chef Kath prepared some delicious hot cross buns and there were also had some delicious Easter nest cakes which were lovingly made by the Corrina Lodge residents.

It was a real community effort with plenty of laughter and fun had by all.

What a wonderful time we had at our complimentary Afternoon Tea Event.

We opened our doors and welcomed members of our local Age Concern community  to join us for some toe tapping musical entertainment provided by the fabulous pianist Alan Poulton. This was followed by an absolutely delicious afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and scones with jam and cream, prepared by our Head Chef Kathleen. Our guests all said they had thoroughly enjoyed their time at Corrina Lodge and the opportunity to socialise and have fun with like-minded was really good and they were definitely looking forward to visiting again soon.
