Activities at Raleigh Manor Care Home

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Kirstie Cobb

Activities Lead

I joined Barchester as a carer in 2019, and quickly realised I had a passion for helping people live their best lives. In June 2022 after a move to Exmouth, I joined the team Raleigh Manor as a carer and enjoyed helping with the activities. When the role of Activities Coordinator became available, I jumped at the chance to combine my care background with my desire to truly enrich the lives of the residents in my care.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home

Celebrating 200 Years of Cadburys

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Raleigh Manor care home in Exmouth were treated to an afternoon of nostalgia and delicious memories when they were joined by Cadbury archivist Sarah Foden and Brand Manager Connor Gould for a talk from the nation’s favourite chocolate brand.

Greendale Here We Come

With the warmer weather back, the minibus has been busy again. One of our favourite outings is the local Greendale Farm Shop. Time to pull out the sun hats and enjoy a bit of farm life.

A Wish Brought to Life

When we asked our residents what they had always wished to do, one said to visit the National Aquarium in Plymouth. So that is exactly what we did. And what a fantastic time he had. It is a great pleasure to be able to do this for our residents.

Celebrating 64 Years

We believe in making sure those very special moments in life are celebrated. 64 years of marriage is definitely one of those very special moments. Congratulations to Gordon and Margaret. A very Happy Anniversary to you.

Entertaining Shanty Men

This greatly anticipated event lived up to expectations. The Exmouth Shanty Men came to entertain us and they we fantastic. They delivered an engaging show with audience participation and time to get together and chat as well. No rum this time but plenty of tea and cake.

Intergenerational Easter Bunny Hunt

Our annual Easter Bunny Hunt with the Chunky Chowns Child Care group was a great occassion again. We hid Bunny's and treats around the home for the residents and children to find together. A joyous event for everyone.
