Activities at Caldy Manor Care Home
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. 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
Historic Royal Palaces
Our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Random Acts of Kindness Day
Residents decorated wooden hearts to add to treat bags that were handed out to staff on this special day. A lot of hard work went into creating these beautiful gifts. Arts & crafts is always a popular activity at Caldy Manor.
Pancake Day
Pancake Day was celebrated with a selection of pancakes made by our Chef. Residents chose their favourite toppings to add to a delicious dessert.
Valentines Day
Valentine’s Day was celebrated at Caldy Manor with a special lunch prepared by our Head Chef and an afternoon of music and dancing. A special time to reminisce and remember those we love. Pictured our Audrey and Derek Holland enjoying lunch together.
Painting Masterclass
Painting with water colours and acrylic paints on canvases. " I am no good at art". This is what everyone said but the art that was produced was wonderful and it all meant something and that's what it is all about. Even the staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Making new memories whilst thinking of old memories.
International Flower Day
Today we celebrated International Flower Day in style, a great way in mid-winter to bring joy and happiness into the home. Our residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including a flower arranging session, a flower quiz which everyone really enjoyed. The collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.
