Activities at Corrina 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.

I thoroughly enjoy my job and have achieved an NVQ Level 3 in Activities whilst working here. During my time here, I have met some truly amazing people and I feel privileged to work in a home with such a sense of community.

Life at Corrina Lodge Care Home
A Unforgetable Natvity
We had an absolutely fabulous day on Monday and we're joined by Lyndhurst School who performed a lovely Carol service which definitely got us in the Christmas spirit.
The children really enjoyed meeting the animals from Millers Ark Farm after their performance. The Corrina Lodge Community had a great time meeting the animals and particularly the goats who seemed very at home saying hello to our community members that were not able to make it to the garden
It's all in the stiring!
Corrina Lodge residents and staff have been busy baking our 'mini christmas cakes', with frosted cranberries and rosemary, to enjoy over the festive period.
Head chef Kathleen, activity assistant Gina, volunteer Linda and the wonderful residents at Corrina were quite pleased with the results of their efforts and have entered this year's Barchester Healthcare Christmas Cake Competition. Fingers crossed for a win.
They have been through the taste test and were absolutely delicious!
Christmas Crafting
Residents have really been getting into the spirit of Christmas here at Corrina Lodge.
We’ve enjoyed some fun festive craft sessions making Christmas baubles and Hot Chocolate Snow Globes, whilst enjoying some festive treats and Christmas songs
Happy Christmas from our home to yours.
A fabulous Trip out to Marks and Spencer
We had a lovely outing today and visited Marks and Spencer to enjoy a coffee and browse. One of our wonderful residents had some very special news recently and was celebrating the arrival of her very beautiful new baby great grandaughter. We all thoroughly enjoyed helping her look for a special gift to welcome her to the world
Fireworks Fun
Residents celebrated Guy Fawkes Night in splendour over the weekend. They created some brilliant works of art, a great sensory experience involving lots of glitter and sparkle. They then enjoyed a heartwarming gathering around the fire pit with hot dogs and marshmallows, and of course no Bonfire night would be complete without sparklers. A great time had by all
Macmillan Coffee Afternoon
We had a really enjoyable and successful Macmillan Coffee afternoon. The Corrina Community came together for this very worthy cause. We invited the Community to bring their canine friends to join us too and had a lovely visitor called’ Star’ who residents thoroughly enjoyed meeting. A huge thank you to everyone who supported our event. We raised a brilliant £60!
