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
Corrina Festival Fiesta
Residents welcomed the local community, family and friends to join them in the sunshine for ‘Corrina Fest’. There was music, fruity pimms, and a delicious home-cooked BBQ for all to enjoy. An eclectic program of fabulous musical entertainment throughout the afternoon was provided by singer Daniel Brewerton, 3-piece band 'Side by Side' and the very talented violinist Miranda Juliet did not disappoint! A superb line-up to suit all musical tastes. Oh and forgetting manager Dumitru spending time in the stocks all in the name of charity. A fabulous £40.00 was raised for the very worthy Barchester Charitable Foundation.
Corrina Tots Intergenerational Fun
What a fantastic morning of intergenerational fun we all had at our ‘Corrina Tots’ baby and toddler group this month. Thank you so much to Ali and Jo who joined us from Camberley Library and Frimley Green Library for some rhyme time fun. Residents and children had a great time singing and playing together and there is always a wonderful atmosphere.
Award Winning Author Visits
Residents had a wonderful morning and welcomed Tina Stubbs award winning children’s author of ‘Life's Little Bugs’ Tina joined us for a fantastic taster session to share the benefits of a Growth Mind-set and how important it is to our wellbeing. Residents had fun taking part in some brain gym exercises, along with meeting all her wonderful characters.
Our activities are always resident led with their interests in mind, so it was really lovely to hear how they all enjoyed listening to Tina’s inspirational journey and how she came about being an award winning author.
Celebrating our Amazing Nurses
We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating International Nurses Day. It was the perfect opportunity to appreciate all our wonderful nurses we have at Corrina Lodge and the amazing work they do. Some of our very own residents who are former nurses loved joining in the celebrations.
Residents joined for a special Hobby Club to create some beautiful heart badges to give all of our nurses as a thank you. Chef Kathleen also baked some lovely cupcakes as a well-deserved treat.
A huge thank all the wonderful nurses all around the world for the fantastic work you do.
Sunflower Gifts for the Community
Yesterday we had a wonderful day really enjoying the joys of our garden.
As part of our Life Enrichment sessions we are passionate about the positive benefits that gardening and nature can have on our overall wellbeing.
We wanted to share that feeling of nurturing and enjoying something grow. So with that in mind we started operation sunflower.
We ended up with over 70 sturdy sunflowers which we've grown in our gardening club. As we had ended up with so many residents thought it would be a lovely idea to see if any of our local community would like one. All we asked is that they send us a photo of their sunflowers when they’ve grown so we can enjoy seeing them.
So we popped a table up out the front of Corrina Lodge with hope that our local community would give one a home and it worked, at the end of the day all our sunflowers had found a new home.
Mission accomplished!
Supper Club
Another successful supper club with some delicious home baked apple turnovers baked by our lovely residents which were put on the evenings supper menu. They looked and tasted amazing with a strong 10/10 verdict from the Corrina Community . Delicious!! On next week's supper menu we have cheese straws.
Our Supper Club is always well attended and residents thoroughly enjoy sharing their tried and tested recipes and expertise.
