Activities at Lawton Rise Care Home

It’s not just any cheese & wine night, it’s a Lawton Rise Cheese & Wine Night.

What a lovely evening spent enjoying good company, delicious cheeses and perfectly paired wines!

Our residents had a wonderful time sampling different flavours, discovering their favourite pairings and enjoying plenty of conversation and laughter along the way.

An evening filled with great tastes, happy memories and a little touch of indulgence.

Here’s to good food, good wine and even better company!

Our dedicated postman, Bruce, had a truly eventful morning delivering beautiful roses and heartfelt cards to the wonderful residents and staff here at Lawton Rise. 

The smiles on their faces when they received these tokens of love were priceless! It’s always heart-warming to see the joy that these small gestures can bring.     

Residents at Lawton Rise had a fantastic time creating beautiful wreaths for Christmas with art therapist Jo. This art session not only allowed everyone to express their creativity but also fostered a sense of community and joy. 

We saw some fantastic designs, from traditional holly, to sparkly decorations.    

What a magical day we had with the delightful visit from the Alice in Wonderland pantomime! Laughter and joy filled the air as our residents enjoyed the whimsical performances, bringing a touch of wonder and nostalgia to our community. 

To wrap up our enchanting afternoon, we joined together for a heart-warming sing-along of Christmas Carols, kicking off the holiday season in the best possible way. The spirit of Christmas was in full force, and we can’t wait for more to come.   

Our residents enjoyed a creative and calming autumn-themed art therapy session with Jo. Surrounded by warm colours and seasonal inspiration, everyone took part in painting, collaging, and exploring textures that captured the beauty of autumn. 

The session encouraged relaxation, self-expression, and plenty of smiles as residents proudly shared their beautiful creations.   

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory themed evening!

We made delicious fruit salad skewers, dipped them in lots of chocolate and enjoyed them while settling down to watch the film together!

There was plenty of chocolate, laughter and a little bit of Wonka magic along the way!

A sweet evening full of happy memories, good company and of course, lots and lots of chocolate!  

Happy Mother's Day to all of our wonderful mums, grandmas and great-grandmas. You are all so very special and loved so much. 

Today we celebrate you, your strength, your kindness, your sacrifices, your comfort and your patience. We had a lovely day celebrating all the incredible, lovely ladies and enjoyed an afternoon tea with our loved ones.     

Thank you to everybody who came and joined us in celebrating our amazing mums and grandmas. 

We had a delightful time on our festive outing to Northwood Garden Centre! Everyone was absolutely enchanted by the stunning light displays and the adorable animatronic scenes. 

Smiles were everyone as our residents wandered through the magical winter decorations and stopped to take photos with the charming reindeer display.     

Our bake sale for Children in Need was a sweet success! We enjoyed decorating cupcakes and showcasing our creativity. We were also joined by Care to Craft who provided an array of fun crafts for everyone to enjoy. 

Laughter and smiles filled the room as everyone engaged in activities, making new friends and memories – together we not only raised funds for an incredible cause, but also created a warm and joyful community atmosphere.    

We had an energetic and fun-filled visit from Chris at Pro-Fit & Wellbeing, who led our residents through a series of gentle exercises and engaging games. 

The session was full of laughter, encouragement, and teamwork — helping everyone stay active while enjoying each other’s company. It was a fantastic reminder that fitness can be both enjoyable and rewarding!  

What a lovely morning we had at Lawton Rise raising money for Dougie Mac Hospice.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated cakes, helped out, joined us for a cuppa and supported our coffee morning. The cakes went down a treat!

We’re so pleased to say that we raised an amazing £56.00 for such a wonderful local charity. Every penny will help support the incredible work Dougie Mac does for patients and families in our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning so special — your kindness and generosity mean so much.

Just in time for Easter, we were so excited to share that all six of our lovely chicks have now hatched!

They’ve already become little celebrities here and all the residents absolutely adore them. Watching them grow and explore has brought so many smiles and happy moments for everyone. 

What a perfect way to welcome the Easter weekend - we'll keep sharing updates as they grow.    

Our lovely resident, Ken, had an absolutely wonderful day at Port Vale FC. On hearing how much Ken wanted to go to Vale Park at least one more time, staff worked together with Port Vale Club to make it a reality. 

We can’t thank the staff enough for going above and beyond to give him the complete VIP treatment. Ken said ‘I really enjoyed going out and watching the game, it was brilliant!’.   

For Remembrance Day, we gathered to reflect on the sacrifices made by our soldiers. We were graced by the lovely Rebecca, whose beautiful rendition of wartime songs filled the room with emotion and nostalgia. 

Residents also took part in a wonderful arts and crafts session, where they designed their own poppies. Each poppy created was a unique expression of their memories and feelings about what Remembrance Day means to them. It was truly heart-warming to witness our community coming together in such a meaningful way.    

Residents were treated to a wonderful afternoon of live music as Britt the singer joined us for a special performance. Her beautiful voice filled the room with well-loved songs that had everyone smiling, tapping along, and even singing together. 

The atmosphere was full of joy and nostalgia — a perfect reminder of how music brings people closer and brightens the day for all.
