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
Santa Comes to Raleigh Manor
Raleigh Manor hosted a sit in with Santa! Local nursery, Chunky Chowns came along to meet Santa and tell them what they wanted for Christmas. Tractors and motorbikes seemed to be the top of the list for the little boys! The residents took them in to meet with Santa, a lovely experience for all.
The Harlequin Strummers are Back
The home was absolutely a buzz with the latest visit from the Harlequin Strummers. It is very hard for us to stay seated when this fun group come to entertain. A great session of singing, dancing and clapping of hands. Some of our residents were lucky enough to be given an instrument to join in with. Merry Christmas!
Christmas at Otter Nursery
A trip out to Otter Nursery at Christmas is an absolute must! What a perfect display of everything Christmas along with a great cafe! A wonderful time in Wonderland for certain.
Nativity Sneak Preview
A group of very lucky residents were invited for a sneak preview of the local primary school's nativity play. At this dress rehearsal, they got to meet the talented cast and watch them in action. Thank you to everyone at Brixington Primary Academy, it was a joy.
RAF Exeter Talk
Chris Wiseman from RAF Exeter was invited in to give a talk on the history of the RAF in Exeter. The residents were very interested in the information Chris provided and had many of their own war-time stories to share with him also. A thoroughly enjoyable event for everyone involved and one we would recommend to others.
Remembrance Day Creative
With Remembrance Day, we conducted a poppy creativity session. It was a good opportunity for everyone to discuss what Remembrance Day means to them while expressing themselves creatively.
