Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Shelbie Taylor
Hi my name is Shelbie, I have recently been promoted to Head of Activities here at Boroughbridge Manor.
I have worked at Boroughbridge Manor for 7 years, I love making our residents smile. I get great satisfaction knowing I have made someone’s day better!
Myself, Leoni and Suzanne have created a wonderful culture within Boroughbridge Manor and we work together to give our residents the best possible experiences.
We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centred program of events and activities. We are extremely fortunate to have our very own minibus, we love taking the residents out for coffee, shopping and lots of fun trips out whether that be to the museum or the seaside.

Life at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Musical Entertainment
Boroughbridge Manor was delighted to welcome back Kim and Dave for a fabulous musical performance.
The brilliant double act had our residents and guests singing and dancing the morning away, through a set of classic hits including Tom Jones 'Delilah' through to the golden favourite 'we'll meet again' by Vera Lynn.
Remembrance Performance
What a fantastic morning we had at Boroughbridge Manor with Rebekah Austin.
Rebekah sang a variety of wartime classics to conclude Remembrance weekend
Thank you for another wonderful performance! See you next month for Christmas carols
National Spa Week
National spa week is a wellness celebration that encourages individuals to prioritise self-care and relaxation. It offers an opportunity for individuals to explore various spa services and therapies designed to promote physical and mental health. We used our sensory light and essential oil diffuser to create a serene atmosphere.
Residents enjoyed a variety of treatments including use of the foot spa, manicures and massages all whilst enjoying a glass of fizz and listening to spa sounds
