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.

Elvis Birthday Celebration!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS!! 

We recently hosted an unforgettable celebration for the iconic Elvis Presley’s 90th Birthday, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as fans from all around gathered to pay tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. 

Victor Andrews tribute to EP  led the celebration with his incredible tribute performance, capturing the essence of Elvis with his stunning vocals and charisma. Wearing a striking outfit reminiscent of Elvis's most famous looks, he had the crowd dancing and singing along to all the classics! 

After the show we shared stories about Elvis's legendary performances and how his music has touched our lives over the years. 

It was an afternoon filled with laughter, joy, and a deep appreciation for the unforgettable Elvis Presley

Launch of our new Men's Club!

We had a brilliant time recently as we launched our new  Pipes and Zimmers Men's Club! 

Our residents enjoyed their first club , where they could immerse themselves in a variety of games like dominos, darts, and card games. Dare we say the games can get quite competitive.

It's the perfect opportunity to meet new people and create lasting friendships while enjoying some friendly competition.

Christmas Fayre

Our Christmas Craft Fayre was an incredible success!

 We had an amazing turnout, selling tons of raffle tickets, delicious cakes, and a wonderful selection of items crafted by our talented residents. 

Together, we raised an impressive amount of over £400! A huge shoutout to all the fantastic stall holders who joined us for this festive celebration. 

We hope every child who visited Santa had a magical experience, and a special thank you goes out to Santa and his cheerful helpers, the Elves. What an unforgettable day!

Christmas Cake Decorating

We have been busy lately at Bryn Ivor Lodge with lots of Christmas activities. 

And what a fun time we had decorating Christmas cakes with our fabulous Head Chef Karen! She kicked things off by demonstrating her expert decorating skills, captivating our Residents with her festive flair.

Then, everyone was treated to a delicious chocolate brownie shaped like a Christmas tree, crafted with care by our talented 2nd Chef, Jay.

With creativity in the air, each resident eagerly jumped into decorating their own cakes. The atmosphere was festive, and the cakes vanished in no time as everyone savored them along with steaming cups of tea. Big thanks to our Chefs and making this such fun activity.

A trip to the Posh Club

We had an absolutely amazing time recently at The Posh Club. 

Of course we dressed up for the occasion and indulged in a mouth-watering afternoon tea that was simply divine. 

The excitement continued with some bubbly sparkling wine as we watched a fabulous lineup of performances filled with singing and dancing and many of our residents swaying along to the music.

It was an unforgettable experience that left us all buzzing with joy! This was defiantly an afternoon to remember.

Commemorating Remembrance day with Local Community Project

To commemorate Remembrance Day, our Residents in Bryn Ivor Lodge teamed up with local nursery, Marshfield Monkeys, as well as local Cubs and Brownies for two heartfelt projects. 

Together, they painted pebbles to create a giant poppy, a symbol of respect and remembrance for those who served during the Wars. 

Additionally, they cut out paper poppies out to assemble a striking poppy display. 

These collaborative projects not only honoured veterans, but also fostered a meaningful connection between generations, with young children learning valuable lessons from the residents’ stories and experiences.
