Emily Stubbs

Head of Activities

I joined the Lanercost House family in June 2021 as a Care Assistant and then joined the activities team in May 2022.

I love bringing joy and fun to residents, relatives, and staff on a daily basis as well as planning and organising themed days, events, and celebrations.

I think the activities’ role is very important for Residents' well-being. Whether they like to keep active with armchair exercises, join in with our weekly quiz or hop in the minibus for a day out - there is something for everyone. I aim to ensure that each Resident's interests and hobbies are supported.

I am passionate about creative and sensory activities and I love to sing and dance together with Residents. I love my job!

Fun in the Sun

Staff and residents enjoyed some garden games recently in the lovely sunshine.

Celebrating Success

This is Renata Kornak, who has just been presented with her Care Practitioner award by Senior General Manager, Wendy Carruthers. Renata has worked for Lanercost House for 12 years and is a much-valued member of our team. She has put every effort into achieving this award, with guidance and mentoring from Deputy Manager, Caroline Wilcox, and it is so well-deserved.

Well done from everyone at Lanercost House!

Helping Hands

This lady decided that she wanted to help our with the vacuuming recently; she did such a good job and seemed to really enjoy it.

Open Day

The theme for our recent open day was 'kings & queens'. The staff went all out as they always do and a great day was had by all. We were entertained by Mickey Diamond, a fan favourite with residents. The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed sitting in the garden.

Still Life

Resident, Isabel, enjoyed a still life session with Activities Coordinator, June Terry.

Easter Celebrations

We had lots of fun celebrating Easter here at Lanercost; we adorned our walls with seasonal decorations and provided lots of easter eggs for residents. We also held a raffle with lots of prizes and managed to raise £61 for our residents' fund.
