Activities at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Kirstie Cobb
I joined Barchester as a carer in 2019, and quickly realised I had a passion for helping people live their best lives. In June 2022 after a move to Exmouth, I joined the team Raleigh Manor as a carer and enjoyed helping with the activities. When the role of Activities Coordinator became available, I jumped at the chance to combine my care background with my desire to truly enrich the lives of the residents in my care.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
New Resident Launches Club to Share Joy of Poetry
A resident who recently moved into local Exmouth care home, Raleigh Manor has started a Poetry Club to share his long term passion, poetry.
Bill has been writing poetry for a very long time so when he came to live at Raleigh Manor the idea to share this passion with the other residents was welcomed by all.
Great Morning Out at the Garden Centre
A group of our residents really enjoy going to the local garden centre, Green Fingers.
On Wednesday by popular request, we made the trip to Green Fingers Garden Centre. The weather was good and so too the cafe, Arc. This is a great garden centre with a vast range of plants and all imaginable garden related equipment and gifts.
One of our residents managed to get some shopping in!
