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
A treat for Halloween.
Local childcare group, Chunky Chowns came in to Raleigh Manor to do their Trick or Treating at the home. Behind every door they knocked, was a huge smile of a delighted resident ready with some yummy treats! And we finished off with some story telling.
What a hoot! Visit from Hawkeridge.
We were full of winged wisdom last Wednesday when the Hawkridge Birds of Prey Centre came to visit the home. Residents at Raleigh Manor were pleasantly surprised to witness a parliament of owls taking over the main lounge. Katy Smith, Activities Coordinator said “This visit has been an outstanding success. We had residents, friends, relatives and staff members all engaged and excited to be able to get up close and personal to these mystical creatures.”
Indulging in Past Passions
When one of our residents expressed her desire to be back with horses, her lifetime passion, the staff at Raleigh Manor made this happen. She had a wonderful afternoon, meeting and grooming and connecting with the lovely horses at Budleight Salterton Riding Centre.
Namaste for those Living with Dementia
Raleigh Manor Care Home in Exmouth has recently appointed two Dementia Champions to bring specific focus to those in its home living with dementia. One of the specialist activities resulting in this appointment has been the adoption of Nasmaste care sessions. The sessions include a calming environment with soothing sensory influences for sight, sound, taste and feel. Hand and feet massages are given by the carers involved
Lyme Regis Revisited
Liz left her beloved home of Lyme Regis when she moved into Raleigh Manor. She wanted so much to go back and revisit her favourite place again so we put fuel in the van, packed a lunch and set off to put a big smile on her face.
It's moments like these that make life so special.
Amazing Maize Maze
What an AMAZING day out for our residents who tackled the Maze of Maize at Darts Farm!
On a perfect summers day we took a group to enjoy Darts Farm and the Maize Maze they have. With clues to collect and a great time to be had.
A bit of fun in the sunshine and no-one got lost!
