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
Residents Go for Gold
The rain may have called off their sports day, but residents and staff at Adlington Manor did not let that dampen their spirits as they took the games indoors and warmed-up for their annual sports day.
Staff and residents took to their marks in a variety of games as guests cheered on. The teams battled it out to be crowned sporting champions by General Manager, Fiona Gough before being treated to a winners' afternoon tea and delicious home-made cake.
Fiona said: “We always encourage our residents to keep active. With summer on the way out we still had a great opportunity to move our activities indoors despite the weather. Our residents and their guest really enjoyed today and it was lovely to see so many of them getting involved. It reminded all of us of when we were kids at school!”

Beach Day
Residents of Adlington Manor enjoyed a day at the beach without leaving the comfort of the home. An amazing day was had by all! Residents, relatives and colleagues were entertained by fan favourite vocalist, Debbie, the team served up some cocktails and tasty delights from the BBQ. There was a paddling pool and sand area for those who wished to experience the real feel of the beach.
The day was a roaring success; the weather was perfect and everyone is looking forward to the next event.
Disney Day
A great time was had reminiscing about our favourite Disney films. Many residents remember taking their children to see Dumbo, Snow White & Mary Poppins! We watched a few Disney classics, had a sing song & finished off with a Mad Hatter tea party.
St George's Day
We had medieval reenactment company, traditional archery & a medieval banquet for this year’s St George's Day celebrations. The residents & staff had a great time!
