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.

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
Exercises with Christine!
Our Deputy Manager, Christine is certainly whipping us into shape with a new exercise class for us all at Raleigh Manor!! With the new year upon us one of our resolutions is to keep fit, keep mobile and keep positive!! This new exercise class led by Christine has certainly got us motivated and the need for it after all the wonderful food we've been indulging in over the festivities is sure to disappear with these regular classes!! We know that regular exercise is not only good for us physically, but also amazing for our mental well-being, so we will be making this a regular class for our residents.
Life in our Home!
What a lovely day our residents at Raleigh Manor have had! Making the most of the beautiful sunshine residents took a trip on our minibus along Exmouth and Budleigh seafront, then back for a fish & chip lunch courtesy of the fabulous 'Krispies' which was just the best treat after a seaside visit, then a relax in the lounge to discuss a book our residents are enjoying listening to. January can sometimes feel a little dull after the Christmas festivities, but not at Raleigh Manor, we want to create great memories and meaningful activities for our residents to enjoy.
