Activities at Lawton Manor Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Chloe Cameron
This is Chloe and she is our Activities Coordinator here at Lawton Manor. Her job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. She wants to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that Chloe holds very close to her heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them. A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Minibus as we create new, special memories together.

Life at Lawton Manor Care Home
Live Music by "Strung Together"
The very talented band "Strung Together" performed a great set of live music for us during the Jubilee weekend.
We listened to music from all genres and for all tastes. Residents loved this exciting and lively group, especially their skilled Vocals and brilliant guitar techniques!
A Jubilant Jubilee
A Jubilant Jubilee was had by all! Staff wore Jolly Jubilee colours over the weekend to enter into the spirit of things together with residents.
Residents have been thoroughly engaged with the various Jubilee activities and live music performances recently. Indulging in some extra special refreshments and menus over the weekend has been delicious fun and we have all enjoyed Chef Nick's home made Jubilee cakes.
Regular Church Service
Rector Phillip Atkinson presented a full Church Service and Communion. Residents love the Rector's visits as it allows them to continue to practice their faith and beliefs within the care home setting.
Rector Philip visits us every other Monday at 11:00am to deliver his inspiring Services
Ferndown florist demo
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Musical Delights
Deborah gave a delightful musical performance when she came to sing a set list of some wonderful songs. An afternoon with such an inspirational artist like Deborah can lift the mood and bring smiles to us all!
Throughout the performance we felt like we were listening to the original singer of some very well known favourite songs!
Day Tripping on the Canal
Residents had a lovely day on board the Mary Sunley Barge, We sailed along the Macclesfield canal and spotted 2 herons and several baby ducks and geese, there were also fields with rare breed sheep which was a lovely sight to see.
We ate deliciously fresh fish and chips courtesy of Goyt Fish Bar
This trip is residents' No.1 activity choice and favourite day out. We have another trip booked for later in the year already.
