Activities at Caldy Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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. There are also evening events, including cheese & wine evenings and race nights. We keep families up-to-date through our newsletter and notices that can be found across the home. Family and friends are always welcome to join in!

Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Chester zoo
We went on a lovely trip to Chester Zoo. We began the day with a picnic at Sandy Lane in Chester where we spent time watching the boats pass as we ate our lunch. We then made our way to the zoo. The residents enjoyed seeing all the animals, the penguins and the lions were a big hit.
Narrowboat trip from Chirk to Trevor
We went out for the day with Wirral community narrowboat trust on a narrow boat with 8 residents and 4 members of staff. This experience was beneficial to the residents as they spent a day in the local community interacting with nature and strengthening bonds between both the residents and staff. We spent 6 hours exploring the canals going through two tunnels and two aqueducts and enjoyed lunch on the boat.
Chester Zoo
We have been to Chester zoo for a numerous of times over the last few weeks and it’s been such a wonderful experience. Getting out into the community is such an important part to our wellbeing. Conversations of memories flowed and it was wonderful to watch new memories being made. Residents still speak to each other about their experience at the zoo and compare it to others.
Carers week
Residents decided for carers week they wanted to make something that showed their appreciation and that it can be kept for staff to always look back on. We wrote thank you notes for the staff and printed out pictures of staff enjoying themselves with eh residents. It was lovely to hear of all the residents memories they had of the staff and being able to thank them.
Parrot and pirate day
We had an amazing day when we was treated to an afternoon of entertainment of three beautiful parrots. We got ready for the occasion by wearing pirate hats, eye patches and learnt some facts about pirates. We all had an opportunity to hold and feed these wonderful birds whilst asking questions and learning all about them.
Ice Cream
Who doesn’t love some ice cream on a hot day. We took advantage of some beautiful warm weather and got the ice cream out. Our chef was delighted to get all the toppings and flavours out and help the resident’s choose and create their own ice cream. Choosing their own ice cream brought conversations up about when they gave their children ice cream and listening to the ice cream van music coming in to the road and all the children run and ask their parents to buy them one.
