Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home

We were so grateful to welcome the lovely Emma Martin: Mindfulness courses and workshops, who set us up for the day with some sensory mindfulness, breathing techniques and meditation. Residents who joined said how relaxed and calm they felt afterwards. The calming lavender helped to trigger memories for many of our residents. Resident Chairman Mark said it took him back to happy memories of his holidays in the lavender fields

We offered relaxing hand massages with scented oils, followed by a light healthy lunch, with some delicious quiches cooked up by chef Kathleen.

We also welcomed back Emma, Fitness Yoga, for her wonderful chair based yoga session, which many of our residents look forward to every week. Emma has such a calming influence on our residents. It’s their time to unwind with some gentle exercise.

Everyone was able to unwind and take that important time out for themselves.

Our new Supper Club activity is proving very popular. The activity is supported by our wonderful head chef Kath. Residents join Kath to prepare their supper for the evening meal. Kath is pictured here with David who spent his whole career within the catering industry as an executive chef, and then in the latter part of his career teaching food tech. David still has a real passion for food and really enjoyed preparing sausage rolls. David is a real fan of Kath and says she is a great chef and the food she serves really is top notch.

We thought we'd celebrate Valentine’s day with a day time disco and signed up to NAPA National Association Providing Activities virtual community disco 'Love is all around'. 

We had an absolute blast together and have decided to make it a monthly event. The next NAPA community disco celebrates the 60's and we feel some costumes may be needed for this one.

Recently we held our Health & Well-being Day which has been a wonderful day for mind, body and soul.

Thank you to all involved with the our 'Wellbeing Day', we hope everyone was able to unwind and take that important time out for themselves

This weeks Hobby Club featured the amazing Jackie who took on the challenge of sewing on some Brownie Guide badges.

Not only is this a difficult challenge in itself, due to the thickness of the fabrics, but at 96 years old we think this is absolutely incredible. Jackie is a perfect example of showing us that we are never to old to enjoy a craft, hobby or learn a new skill.

Thank you Jackie, you have made one little Brownie Guide very happy

We had a wonderful time at our first Toddler Group this morning. There was lots of play and laughter between the children and residents.

Thank you so much to all who came. Our residents absolutely loved interacting with all the adorable children.
