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
Getting Creative
The residents tested their artistic skills by painting on canvases using acrylic paints. We had an example photo which the residents used as a template but all ended up with very different and unique designs using their preferred colours and brush stroke techniques. We then stuck on cut out of birds and all in all the residents were very proud of their work. We then displayed their pieces in the home for everyone to see.
Elvis day
We enjoyed a lovely fulfilled afternoon celebrating Elivs’ 89th birthday. The residents thoroughly enjoyed dressing up, singing and dancing to all their favourite Elvis songs. This was followed by a quiz all about Elvis and the residents were filled with joy and had smiles on their faces all day!
Pamper day
We all love being pampered, so what better time to do it than Christmas. We had gingerbread moisturiser and bubble soak to keep us in the festive spirit. Our pamper days include foot spa, foot massage, nails trimmed and painted and finished off with a lovely massage. This is a really nice time to have that individual time with residents and staff and really engage with each other.
Elf day
Today we enjoyed all our naughty elves coming to have some fun with the residents. The staff thoroughly enjoyed dressing up which our resident’s really enjoy seeing this side to the staff. We hid some elves around the home which the staff really enjoyed taking part in specially when the winner won a bottle of wine!
Decorating the home for Christmas
We all enjoyed participating in decorating the home for Christmas whilst enjoying mulled wine, mince pies and Christmas music. One of our residents donated a Christmas tree and decoration’s and took pride in decorating it in the dining room for us all to enjoy. We all had such a festive afternoon and talked about when the residents decorated their homes with the children.
Tripping the light fantastic!
The team from Barchester’s Caldy Manor care home, in Caldy, got into the Christmas spirit by taking some of their residents on a fantastic trip to Blackpool to see the famous lights and visit the impressive Tower Ballroom.
Residents and staff had a fab-u-lars time visiting Blackpool Tower and the beautiful Tower Ballroom that has to be seen to be believed. They all enjoyed dancing together listening to the organist and, when they needed a rest, they sat down to watch the other dancers while having some delicious wine and cake
