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

Halloween
Here at Adlington Manor we got into the spooky Halloween spirit of things by creating an autumnal display with painted and carved pumpkins, flowers and wreaths.
We hosted a fun-filled party with delicious Halloween inspired treats, mocktails and themed music, especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.
Some of our residents preferred to paint and decorate pumpkins and to dress up for the occasion, others got involved in themed quizzes and games, and enjoyed watching Halloween films. We all had a spooktacular time.
Ghostly baking
The fun and laughter continued over the weekend as residents enjoyed a special Halloween Spooktacluar baking session.
There has been lots of themed activities from baking, crafting friendly ghost decorations that adorn the home’s communal areas and presenting ghostly face cakes for all to enjoy.
These type of activities are meaningful to residents providing social engagement, and creating a lot of fun within the home.
Pumpkin carving
Halloween is approaching and Residents of Adlington Manor have been busy preparing themed activities for everyone to enjoy.
Residents have enjoyed carving pumpkins, with many sharing fond memories of carving pumpkins with their loved ones, from being children themselves, to carving and celebrating Halloween with their own loved ones throughout the years.
It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
