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
National Puppy Day Entertainment
National Puppy Day at Raleigh Manor put smiles on many dials! We filled the day with everything dog related including a fabulous agility demonstration and lots and lots of cuddles. In total we had 11 dogs visit us throughout the day.
St Patricks Day Celebrated
St Patricks Day was celebrated by engaging in creativity and quiz mastery! The creative task was shamrock smoothies, a luxurious mint flavour. And for the mental challenge, the quiz was all about St Patricks day of course!
Hydration & Nutrition Week
Hydration and Nutrition week is the very best excuse to focus on what is so important while having some fun. With multiple activities throughout the week from making succulent tropical fruit platters to colourful fruit jellies.
Celebrating World Book Day
We welcomed a group of children from Brixington Primary Academy along with their Head Master, Stuart Dyer in celebration of World Book Day on Friday the 4th of March. The children and their teachers went to a lot of effort to bring their favourite books alive by dressing up as the characters and reading to our residents.
Surprise!
When much loved resident, Ken had a birthday this month we got stealthy and planned a small surprise party for him. We gathered just before he came back from a family lunch and as he entered the lounge on his return..... SURPRISE!
It's Time for Pancakes
An absolute must on Shrove Tuesday is the consumption of pancakes! And that is just what we did at Raleigh Manor. With so many toppings to choose from there was a delightful flavour combination to suit everyone. A happy pancake day was had by all.
