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

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.

Star Wars Day

On the 4th May, residents celebrated Star Wars Day in style. Residents had a visit from Chewbacca himself, and we enjoyed watching Episode VII: The Force Awakens and 'Guess Yhat Star Wars Character' game. Residents said that they enjoyed the space-themed day and want to let you all know: "May the force be with you".

Virtual Tea Party

On Tuesday 21st April, Maple Leaf Lodge held a virtual tea party for National Tea Day. We had a variety of different teas on offer, and we each rated our favourite flavour. The winner was peach!

St George's Day

On 23rd April, residents and team members celebrated St George’s Day in style. Residents enjoyed the sun while waving their flags high. We enjoyed listening to the story of St George and the dragon and watching a Punch & Judy show on the TV. Even though we are on lockdown, this does not stop us from having some fun in the sun. Maple Leaf really enjoys making the residents day-to-day lives fun and enjoyable.

Bake Off

Avery Lodge turned into a bake off on Friday 6th March 2020. We had a variety of different cakes available for the judges to taste, we had Josh, Home Manager, Emma, Deputy Manager, Hattie, Administrator, Clem and Barbara, residents as the judges.

They tasted the cakes and gave the cakes marks out of 5. Resident Vera mentioned: “these cakes are scrummy”. Overall the winner was Bridie, Activities Assistant. Such an amazing afternoon of getting our taste buds to work, from oozing chocolate cake to melt in your mouth vanilla cake, we had some volunteers from the community to come help judge the cakes, Sandon School enjoyed getting to try loads of cakes, but who wouldn’t?

White Post Farm Visit

Avery Lodge was visited by some fury and scaly animals, from tiny mice to long snakes. Everyone enjoyed holding and feeling the animals; what an experience this was for the team and the residents. A one to fur-member!
