Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
Plant Power
We had the privilege of welcoming Life’s Little Bugs to talk about the amazing health benefits of plants.
We then made dandelion and nettle tea freshly picked from our garden. One of the many benefits of plant tea is being high in antioxidants and a powerful anti-inflammatory too. Plants really are magical!
Off Fishing...
Our wonderful resident John has been a keen fisherman for many years. Enjoying lake, river & sea fishing, John won numerous awards and trophies for his cast skills! Our General Manager Dumitru also shares the same passion for fishing, so was thrilled to be able to support John and make his dream come true. What an amazing day and scenery to enjoy. Let the fishing competition commence!
Check Mate
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!
Ding Dong the bells...
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!
Corrina Lodge Garden Venture
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.
Oscar Fun at Corrina Lodge
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.
