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
Bringing the beach to our home
We celebrated the lovely weather by having a day at the beach - we brought the beach to Adlington Manor celebrating with Punch and Judy, hook a duck and many more. After a wonderful BBQ lunch prepared by our chef with Ice Cream cones to follow, we spent the afternoon with our fabulous entertainer singing & dancing.
As one resident said; "the best day ever!"
Historic Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
70-years young birthday wishes
We love to celebrate birthdays here at Adlington Manor and this week was no different when we celebrated one of our colleagues, Ann’s 70-years young! The birthday girl received gifts, cards and was presented with a delicious homemade cake especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.
Happy Birthday, Ann!
104-years young celebrations
Birthdays are an important feature in the homes life enrichment programme and this week we were honoured to help celebrate Bertha’s 104-years young.
The birthday girl was joined by family and friends and gave a rousing rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ as she was presented with a delicious Belgian chocolate cake especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.
Happy Birthday, Bertha!
Story telling with Jon Sleigh
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
Armchair Exercise
Residents and Staff have enjoyed an Armchair Exercise session this afternoon.
Residents enjoyed the session and said it was the perfect way to work off their afternoon tea. We can't wait to do this again soon!
