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.

Adlington Manor's Grand Raffle
Cath Ritchie, Deputy Manager, won the grand Raffle at Adlington Manor Care Home! All the money raised goes towards resident fund.
Computer Lessons at Adlington Manor
Our computer classes with Age Uk are coming along nicely, so far we have learned how to search on the internet and send an email. Len had a laptop for this 95th birthday and we are hoping to acquire a computer for our Activity Room soon so we can put to use what we have learned.
St Patrick's Day
We celebrated St. Patricks Day in style with a coffee morning and Irish music followed by an afternoon of Accordion songs from John Jones MBE! Guinness and Jameson’s really got us in the mood to celebrate!
Easter Bonnets
We have been getting ready for Easter by making our own Easter Bonnets! Our Rowan Ladies pulled out all the stops with the decorations!
Macclesfield Football Team
We have been having lots of fun with the wonderful youth team from Macclesfield FC, who have been coming in to do hand and eye coordination games. Here we see them pictured with a resident who has been going to the matches since she was 2 years old and still a fan, she was thrilled to meet the boys and will be getting a signed programme from the whole team!
'Men in Sheds Group'
We love 'Men In Sheds Group' in Macclesfield, which is in association with Age Uk. The group allows retired men to go and work on wood projects and enjoy the company of other men in a workshop environment. Here, we see Jack one of the residents working with one of the volunteers to make a planter wheel barrow which we will be weathering and planting a herb garden in over the next week.
