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.
Frankie Sidwick
Frankie has been in care since 2011. Her career began in a nursing home, then she moved to young adults with learning difficulties, and finally went on to a home that specialised in mental health. Frankie now brings this wealth of knowledge into her activities role here at Raleigh Manor.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Otterton Mill Visit
It was off to Otterton Mill on the mini-bus. This was a first for most and a delightful trip into art, food craft and history. It was a very enjoyable and educational adventure and one we would recommend if you haven't been!
Celebrating Dogs!
Celebrating National Dog Day was so much fun! Our garden made the perfect setting for a dog agility demonstration. Thank you so much to the award winning talent Tail-Spin Training and Pawsitive Canine that came to show us their moves. It was brilliant.
