Our Activities Coordinators work together to provide daily activities suited to the tastes of residents. We encourage those we support to continue with any hobbies whilst they stay at home. We also hold group activities, such as exercise to music, sing-alongs, craft sessions and visits to local places of interest.

Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Residents delight at vaccination
Residents at Barchester’s Caldy Manor care home, were delighted to be invited to have the vaccination at the home which has lifted everyone’s spirits after what has been a very challenging year for everyone.
General Manager, Hannah Roberts said: “Last year was a year like no other and the vaccine feels like the light at the end of the tunnel. Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic and we are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected.”
Remembering Buddy Holly
Edna and Rosemary had a lovely afternoon enjoying the music of music legend, Buddy Holly. They shared memories of his music throughout their lives before settling down to watch a film about his life. It was an opportunity for fans to enjoy his music and an opportunity for residents and staff who didn’t know much about him to learn new things. It was a wonderful way to spend the day.
Residents put on their 'blue suede shoes'
Caldy Manor care home in Caldy was transformed into ‘Graceland’ to mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 85th birthday on 8 January.
It is estimated that Elvis has sold over one billion records worldwide so to honour the undisputed King of rock & roll, the staff and residents enjoyed a fantastic day of music, fun and dancing.
General Manager, Hannah Roberts, said: “Lots of our residents are big Elvis fans and love his music. We’ve had a fantastic day listening to all his hits, finding out about his early life and what influenced him and watching old Elvis movies, he was such an incredible talent. This afternoon we had an Elvis quiz, it is amazing how many songs he recorded. We all surprised ourselves by how many we remembered!”
Christmas Stocking
Every resident at Caldy Manor has their decorated Christmas stocking hanging on the fireplace ready for Santa. We spent a lovely afternoon together decorating our stockings. Our fireplace looks very festive!
Party Games
Residents enjoyed playing games at the Christmas party. Edna was very pleased with her prize. Everyone came together for a lovely afternoon of food and drinks. We are really looking forward to Christmas!
Christmas Market
Residents enjoyed a day of Christmas shopping. There were beautiful hand-made items to buy for family and loved ones. We enjoyed mince pies and mulled wine and everyone was feeling very festive.
