Activities at The Manor Care Home
Our activities staff are here 7 days a week and are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we care for in a group or individual basis. From trips to garden centres, the theatre, and flower shows to personal shopping and attending family events. We also love organising Christmas fairs, our famous classic car show, musicians, entertainment, and pizza and pint evenings. The team encourage families to visit and work closely with our volunteers to ensure that our residents social care is a priority, so that they have a fun filled and enriched stay whilst here at The Manor.
Marc Chidgey
I have worked at The Manor since 2012, starting out as a kitchen assistant, where I replenished drinks and snacks and assisted in serving meals in communal areas. During this time, outside of the kitchen, I enjoyed meeting residents and took pleasure in seeing their engagement during activities. My interest in resident activities was evident, and I was offered the opportunity to transfer to the activities team.
I love to spend time with residents. I enjoy hearing their stories and finding out what activities interest them. I aim to keep them as active as possible, and my top priority is to instill fun and laughter at The Manor.

Feeding the Birds and Nature Walks at The Manor
Feeding the birds, (and the odd cheeky Squirrel!) at this time of year, especially in The Manors gardens, is a job that requires all hands on deck!
So we all get to work filling the feeders, we load up and we are off - until the next time of course.

A Well Deserved Thank you
Barchester value every team member but it was wonderful today that a family sent flowers and Prosecco to our receptionist Tina for always having a smile at reception and being supportive with all the additional work and support she gives not only for residents and there family members but also the staff. Well done Tina a great job and rightfully recognized not only by the home but the individuals and families we care for and keep safe.
