Raleigh Manor residents made the most of the sunshine this afternoon and popped on their coats and went for a stroll around our local community.

This week our residents have been enjoying Gardening club!! Now it's been a little chilly outside so our activities coordinator Sharon, turned our salon into a little garden workshop for the morning. This turned out to be a great idea as a lot of the compost decided to leap onto the floor, so it was much easier to clean up!!! Residents told us how much they enjoyed potting their plants and have put them outside their patio doors to watch grow. They'll no doubt let you see the results in a few months time and we just can't wait to see the pretty colours that will spring up and make us smile!!

Our residents and staff applauded our Senior Carer, Frankie who was named ‘Employee of the Month’ for always going above and beyond in her role and being a fantastic example to others. Frankie was nominated by both residents and colleagues who felt she really deserved extra recognition for the amazing work she does every day. Frankie was congratulated by our home’s Deputy Manager for the achievement and was presented with a £25 voucher, flowers, chocolates and a bottle of bubbly as a special thank you. Christine, Deputy Manager said: “I’m delighted to have such a caring and talented individual working as part of our team and I hope this ‘Employee of the Month’ award goes some way towards showing how much Frankie’s hard work is valued. We are really proud of her can do attitude and the way she applies herself to everything so positively’ Frankie ‘Employee of the Month’ said: “I couldn’t believe I had been chosen, as to me I am simply doing the job I am so very passionate about, it just comes naturally. I have worked in care for 10 years, but I think what makes my job so enjoyable is the people I work with, our wonderful residents and the fantastic environment I have to work in every day here at Raleigh Manor, it really does make a difference. Thank you so much”
