Activities at Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Sophia Reed
Hi, I'm Sophia, the Activities Coordinator at Bryn Ivor Lodge. My top priority is making sure our residents feel happy and cosy in their homes. I'm a super crafty person and love coming up with new and exciting activities for everyone to enjoy. When I'm not busy planning, you can usually spot me outside tending to the garden - especially when the sun is shining!
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 Bryn Ivor Lodge Care Home
Pony Surprise
Today we had a little surprise on one of our regular walks. We saw a pony at the gate, he was so friendly and came straight over to greet us. Our Activities team organise a range of physical exercise and mobility activities to ensure that the residents are as fit and healthy as possible.
Puppy Therapy
Five month old German Shepard, Riley stole the hearts of residents and staff alike this week.
Riley visited Bryn Ivor and met every single resident in her quest to become our new favourite visitor! Animal therapy is proven to have extensive beneficial effects for older people and we ensure that our residents regularly experience a range of animal therapies.
Flower Arranging Class
This week we have been making the most of the sunny weather to do some pottering in the garden. We also had a visit from local flower farm owner, Julia who provided a flower arranging class and shared some interesting facts about wild flowers.
We love making the most of our outdoor spaces and we encourage our residents to own the gardens themselves as much as possible. Gardening classes and presentations are key parts of our life enrichment programme.
