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

Activities Lead

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

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.

Valentines Day Surprise

The residents at Raleigh Manor surprised the staff with a giant heart card on Valentines Day. It was heart warming gesture to thank all the staff at Raleigh Manor for the work they do. The residents had been working on this idea for a week and it came as a very special surprise.

Raleigh Manor Celebrates Local Charity Volunteers

Local care home Raleigh Manor in Exmouth recently hosted the volunteer team behind Open Door Exmouth.

This was an opportunity for all the amazing volunteers from Open Door Exmouth to get together and celebrate all the good work they have been doing.It was also an opportunity for Raleigh Manor to give something back by hosting this selfless group of people.

A delicious afternoon tea was served to a very grateful team of volunteers on the top floor of Raleigh Manor, which enjoys expansive views of Exmouth towards the estuary.

Lisa Pike, Open Door Exmouth’s CEO presented to her volunteer group on the statistics behind the work they have done over the past year and all the people the charity has helped.

Don't Dine Alone

Raleigh Manor in Exmouth will be opening it’s doors to a number of people from the community to help tackle loneliness in their local community.

Open for elderly people who might usually eat alone, they are invited to join the residents and teams at the home on Wednesdays for a 3 course meal during the months of February and March.

Diners will be treated to a tasty lunch in the home’s dining room.  Guests will have a chance to chat to the home’s staff and residents, while enjoying their food, and will be able to partake in any activities taking place with those at the home after their meal.

Inspired by gardening

We like to tailor our activities at Raleigh Manor to suit all the individuals in our care. A recent newcomer to Raleigh Manor has inspired the beginnings of a regular gardening session and with spring coming up, there is plenty to get inspired about.

Singing in the Snow

It was snowing outside today when Julia Green came to sing for us. A magical performance that our residents thoroughly enjoyed along with the 'name the musical' quiz that John, our walking encyclopedia aced. Julia will be returning monthly and we can't wait!
