Activities at Leonard 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.
Our activities team offer a wide range of social events, from the very popular Friday morning bingo, to gentle exercise sessions, skittles, regular animal visits and arts & crafts sessions. We are fortunate to have a team of volunteers who stop by weekly to provide additional support, allowing residents the opportunity for one-to-one sessions. These sessions could include anything, even something as simple as playing a game of Scrabble or just having a cup of tea and a chat. We believe that it is essential to support people in such a way that they are able to continue to live full and happy lives doing the things that they enjoy.
Lynn Amiri
My name is Lynn and I lead the Activities Team here at Leonard Lodge.
Since working at Leonard Lodge I have dedicated myself to ensuring that each of our residents can continue to partake in the hobbies that they have enjoyed for years. It is important that all of the residents here have access to life enriching, fun and social activities.
The whole home supports my team and I to organise activities, events and entertainment tailored to every residents preferences, abilities and needs. Each year we have a fantastically full calendar, and we look forward to the future when we can invite the families of residents to join us in the home again.
I am married with two children and two rather annoying rescue cats. I lived in Italy for a number of years and love all Italian food, especially when somebody else cooks it for me! I love to read, especially crime novels. I am a regular theatre goer with a passion for musicals. I like to sing and dance (albeit badly!).
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Leonard Lodge Care Home
Pudding Club
This month head chef Paul produced a blueberry, lemon and mascarpone pie for the pudding club. It was an overwhelming yes from the residents who really enjoyed.it. Resident Terry said he could have licked the plate.
Feel Good Fridays
Our ladies love having their nails painted on feelgood Fridays. The treatment includes a hand massage and they very much enjoy the individual time they get to spend with us.
Games day
We love our games from bingo to scrabble to dominoes with staff, friends and volunteers, we had a great day.
Painting Masterclass
Painting Masterclass
We are keeping busy creating more artworks. Painting keeps our hands flexible and improves grip so we can hold those important cups of tea.
Grand National Weekend
Grand National
Yesterday we chose our horses and today we got ready for the Grand National by trying on some jockeys hats before watching the race.
Van Gogh art session
Recreating Van Gogh's Irises
We got creative and produced our interpretation of Van Gogh's Irises. We find painting relaxing and there is plenty of time to chat as well.
