Activities at Maple Leaf 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.

Activities Coordinator

My name is Courtney and I am proud to be the Activities Coordinator for Maple Leaf Lodge.

I have worked at Maple Leaf since 2020 and I started as a night carer before taking the opportunity to lead the activities team. My team and I ensure that the residents enjoy a range of fun and varied activities from outings and external performers to animal therapy and gardening.

We are always open to new ideas so please join us for a chat at any time.

Donkey Sanctuary

Across our services, Residents enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of the Donkey Sanctuary Manchester. Residents were thrilled to meet the lovely herd of donkeys, including Henry and his best friend Tiny Tim and to learn more about their every day care. They were introduced to the sanctuary’s work and the impact they make to the lives of donkeys in need worldwide. The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Children in Need

What a fabulous afternoon of singing, dancing and cake eating! The wonderful Steve Carmel started of our afternoon of fundraising with songs we all sang along too!

Our kitchen team and laundry assistant Kayleigh Gent made some delicious cakes. Staff wore their best Pudsey outfits. We also had guess the name of the bear which builder Rob won!

A big Thank you to everyone who was involved and donated. As a home we raised a wonderful £100 to go towards the amazing charity.

Rock and Roll party

Residents have been busy this morning rocking out to the 60s. Resident Anne requested a 60s party and that’s exactly what we did! We have been listening to all the top hits, dressing up, singing our hearts out and dancing all morning long. Resident Ron and Alan even started up their own ABBA tribute act!

Minibus Outing

Residents took a trip over to Downtown to have a look at their Christmas displays. Resident Sonia said how lovely it looked and she wanted to take the snow owl back to the home. We also ran into the wonderful Mayor of Grantham who kindly stopped to take a photo with us. We are all definitely in the Christmas spirit now.

Trip to Newark Air Museum

Resident Ron requested a trip out to an air museum.

So, we went over to Newark Air Museum. We looked at all the different planes they had and received a tour around the Vulcan and a talk from one of the workers. Frank, Peter and Ron all said they enjoyed it very much.

International Chef's Day

Celebrated on the 20th October, Internatioanl Chef's Day celebrates the work chefs do. Here at Maple Leaf our team received a sweet treat and certificate of thanks for all they do.
