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.
Courtney Doncaster
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.
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 Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home
Gentlemen’s club
Yesterday we took full advantage of the sun shining and went down to the pub and enjoyed a cold pint of bitter. Resident Brian told us how he can remember going down to the pub with his dad watching him drink as he wasn't old enough to have one himself.
Our gentlemen’s club allows men to feel more confident and having a few drinks and reminiscing about past working occupations, cars, time spent in the forces, chat about the weekly news, how times have changed, the subjects are endless. It’s nice just to let them spend their special men’s only time together.
Easter Celebrations
Throughout Easter we have done a selection of things at Maple Leaf. Making Easter cards, Easter baking and Easter egg hunts with a local school. Resident Joan volunteered to lick the spoon after!
We drew the winners of our Easter raffle! A big Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and well done to everyone who won.
