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
Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Intergenerational Easter Bunny Hunt
Our annual Easter Bunny Hunt with the Chunky Chowns Child Care group was a great occassion again. We hid Bunny's and treats around the home for the residents and children to find together. A joyous event for everyone.
Book Buying in Sidmouth
What a lovely time we had visiting Sidmouth today. Some of our residents wanted to visit a book shop, so we decided to pay Winstone's bookshop a little visit. and of course stopped for coffee and cake. Another great trip chosen by the residents here at Raleigh Manor.
World Book Day
Everyone enjoyed celebrating World book day. Our very own book club which is run by Nic was joined on the day by Brixington Primary Academy reading ambassadors. They came dressed as their favourite book characters and shared a few chapters of their favourite books. We can not wait to have them here again, always a favourite with the residents here at Raleigh Manor.
New Book Club Launched
A number of avid readers in the home recently started the Raleigh Manor Book Club. Facilitated by our Home Administrator, Nic our book worms get together every month to discuss the books they are reading and to share their favourite stories. This initiative is one of many resident led initiatives. As we have new residents joining us all the time, new activity programmes are created to support their passions.
