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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Adlington Manor Care Home
Bikes at Adlington Manor!
As part of our commitment to the environment, we have up cycled a number of old bikes for decoration around our lovely gardens - the cycles were decorated and painted by our residents and staff to add colour and talking points.
Our courtyard looks amazing with the scent of flowers in the air and the sun shining down.
World baking day!
Monday19th of May was world baking day.
We decided that we would love pizza for tea, so with the help of Alfie, our lovely Chef and Nurse Ruth, the pizza was duly delivered to everyone for tea and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
A visit from the mayor
Counsellor Jon Weston, Mayor Bollington and Poynton village PCSO can for tea following the refurbishment of our Dementia unit.
They chatted with our lovely residents who enjoyed meeting new faces and were enthralled by the Mayor’s chain of office. Pictured with our amazing team of nurses and Fiona General Manger.
Adlington Manor celebrated VE Day 80th anniversary
VE day dawned with an air of expectation in our home. We were up at a moderately early time as our residents knew that we were going to have a lunchtime party. We spent the morning watching the celebration hoping that the sun would come out, but sadly, it was not warm enough to have our little street party outside.
The dining room was set up and an amazing buffet lunch was enjoyed by all; nostalgic songs from an era long past that inspired singing along too! Complements to the chef for providing a wonderful spread. We spent the afternoon and evening watching the celebration and retired to bed with a sense of an amazing day which staff, residentd and relatives all enjoyed.
Easter at Adlington Manor!
Eater Just would be the same without a lovely chocolate Easter egg.
The Easter bunny delivered eggs to all our residents, which made everyone smile and talk about memories of childhood. There was a lot of chocolate eating throughout the day!
Employee of the Month
Amanda Taylor has been nominated by a number of people as Employee of the Month.
One lovely compliment from Tell Barchester has commented that she should be the poster girl for our home – she demonstrates all the values that we at Barchester treasure .
It is also National Elf day and we would encourage you to donate the Alzheimer’s society to enable care and research into Dementia.
