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.

Life at Corrina Lodge Care Home
Age Concern UK Tea Party
Corrina was delighted to host a tea party for Age Concern UK. Once a month, on a Sunday, Age Concern relies on the local community to host an afternoon tea party for some of their most isolated members in the local community. Volunteer drivers collect these lovely elderly folk and take them to a venue.
Corrina held a double group event and we had 20 visitors. We supplied the venue, afternoon tea and homemade cakes and sandwiches and, most of all, our companionship. The organiser, Gill, held a free raffle and we all had a singalong. Mel, one of our activity staff, read some poetry.
We presented everyone with a little edible gift and thank you card.They all said it was the best tea party they had attended to date.
Residents made everyone feel very welcome and we all felt it was a great way to show visitors from the local community that Corrina Lodge is a warm, friendly and lovely residential home. We hope to host another tea party soon.
