Activites 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.

Celebrating life at Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home

Nottingham Forrest Football Club help realise dream

Nottingham Forrest Football Club help realise dream

Peter, a resident, had always been a big supporter of the football team, Nottingham Forrest, so the staff at the home made his wish a reality, proving the old adage, it’s never too late.

Peter has lived at Maple Leaf Lodge for many years and is beloved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making his dream come true, as they knew how much it meant to him, and they all wanted to be there to see the smile on Peter’s face when his dream was realised.

Peter, a lifelong supporter of Nottingham Forest, was absolutely overjoyed to open a personalised ‘thank you’ letter sent directly from the club. The letter acknowledged his decades of loyal support and expressed the team’s appreciation for fans like him who have stood by them through every season.
