Activities at Adlington Manor Care Home
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.
Lynne Bowler
I joined the activities team at Adlington Manor in May 2017. Previously, I have worked as a tree surgeon and have had heavy involvement with the Guides and Brownies. I love participating in activities with residents, whether that's by driving the minibus on trips outside the home, or by engaging in themed days.
I am passionate about my role and especially the challenge of coming up with new ways to engage as many residents as possible in our activities here.

Life at Adlington Manor Care Home
Virtual walking tour of Mayfair
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
A splash of colour
Residents from Adlington often get together to enjoy their regular art and craft sessions which supports their creative ideas and encourages different methods of Art. Residents have been busy showing their own style of colourful designs.
This class is particularly popular with all and everyone thoroughly enjoys a get together with a cuppa and a slice of delicious cake. Residents enjoy the colouring and crafting as find it very calming and therapeutic. It enhances mindfulness and promotes a positive mental well-being.
Residents join dogs welfare charity
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity.
Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.
Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
World Beatles Day
On Monday 26th June staff and residents celebrated International Beatles day by looking back at the 60's,70's and 80's music
Residents enjoyed singing along to the best of the Beatles and Abba, taking part in fun activities and tuck into a 80s style buffet and spam fritters for tea which went down a treat. Staff dressed for the occasion with some looking unrecognisable.
Love is in the air
Love was in the air at Adlington Manor! We were only too happy to help with a special wish. A surprise visit from the bride and groom delighted our resident who had been unable to join them on their special day. Tables were decorated with gorgeous blooms recreating the ceremony in the bistro, it was all very emotional and the bride looked stunning!
With love and best wishes from everyone at Adlington Manor!
Father's Day
All of the gents here at Adlington Manor have had a great time being celebrated on Father's Day. Our gentleman had a wonderful afternoon playing dominoes and celebrating father’s day with a nice cold beer!
