Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Home hosts Summer Fete
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Caldy Manor to enjoy a Summer Fete that was held in the home’s grounds over the weekend.
Caldy Manor hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including a pony visit from ‘cupcake’, tombola, face-painting, stall, guess the weight of cake and live entertainment, which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.
A dog is for life
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.
Ferry across the Mersey
Staff and residents from Barchester’s Caldy Manor care home, in Caldy had a fantastic time visiting Liverpool where they all enjoyed taking the ferry over the Mersey. Residents and staff had a brilliant time on the ferry, seeing camel laird’s and learning about the history of the ferries.
Carers Week
For carers week the residents made cards and planted some plants to give as gifts for the carers. We held a party for all staff to say a big thank you for all their hard work. The chef put on an excellent buffet and some staff enjoyed making cakes. We was entertained by one of our favourite entertainers Dave Voller who is a one man band of a ukulele, guitar and a drum. It was a wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all.
A trip to the Farmers Arms
Residents enjoyed a visit to our local pub the Farmers Arms. It was perfect weather to sit out in the beer garden with a nice cold drink. It was that popular we did two trips and residents said they would like to do this more.
Spanish Day
We enjoyed holding a Spanish day here at Caldy Manor which included tapas and a performance from Deva Flamenco dance company. Staff and residents dressed up and took part in some flamenco dancing. We ended the day with tapas including olives, breads with different oils and some selection of meat.
