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
PAT Dog Visit
Many of our residents have owned dogs in their time and have missed the comfort they bring, so we arranged for a local PAT dog named ‘Joli’ to visit. Joli is a 3 year old black Labrador; she’s full of fun and the residents thoroughly enjoyed being able to feed her treats, give her a brush and give her lots of love. We will be seeing more of Joli for sure!
Haynes Motor Museum
Here at Raleigh Manor, we really do try to make things happen. One of our new residents told us he loved classic cars, so our team arranged for him and other residents to take a trip on our minibus to Haynes International Motor Museum to have a look at the spectacular cars they have on show.
Garden Jenga
Our residents at Raleigh Manor make the most of the good weather and recently enjoyed a fun game of Garden Jenga.
Garden Fun
Our residents enjoyed a fun game with balloons and a parachute in our beautiful garden. This was a chance to enjoy the fresh air and have some fun whilst getting some exercise. There was a lot of laughter going on!
The Donkey Sanctuary
Raleigh Manor residents enjoyed a fantastic day out at The Donkey Sanctuary.
This outing was very much appreciated by our residents who enjoyed a nutritious picnic made by our Head Chef to take with them. They had a chance to get up close to the donkeys.
It was lovely to see such wonderful smiles on their return home and to hear about their wonderful day!
Film Afternoon
We've been looking forward to trying out our new cinema, so we treated residents to a film afternoon with popcorn, which they thoroughly enjoyed!
