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
Children in Need
Staff had lots of fun raising money for Children in Need!
Remembrance Sunday
We spent the day reflecting on all those who have fallen during the line of duty.
Bonfire Night
Residents enjoyed a warm evening outside, as our fireworks lit up the sky. There was plenty of hot chocolate with plenty of cream to keep us warm throughout the evening.
Halloween Preparations
Residents spent an afternoon carving pumpkins in preparation for Halloween, which are now on display around the home.
Grease Day
Adlington staff hosted a Grease-themed day. Our menu was based around foods from the film and the residents enjoyed watching the movie with loads of popcorn.
