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.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home

Resident Meets Lifetime Heros

Resident, Kenneth Brookshaw, at Exmouth Care Home, Raleigh Manor has been a life long supporter of what was his local football team, Plymouth Argyle. When chatting to a staff member recently, he mentioned how much his he loved his life in Plymouth and what is local team meant to him. So, the staff at the home decided to organise a special event for Ken, getting to meet the Plymouth Argyle team in person - proving the old adage, it’s never too late.

Happy Birthday Raleigh Manor

What a wonderful celebration of our second year. Our birthday party was a huge success. We were graced with good weather, fantastic entertainment and great food. We love getting the whole family together and this was a very special day for all our residents, family, friends and staff.

Poetry in Motion

What a wonderful legacy you left us Bill. The poetry group you founded here a Raleigh Manor is one of the favourite activities we run regularly. So much so we have two groups now so that everyone can get the most out of it. Your passion lives on here. Thank you so much! x

A special outing for a special group of residents on another lovely summer afternoon at the Estuary. A little bit of bliss for everyone.

So Much To Do in Sidmouth

Our recent weekend trip out to Sidmouth was action packed! The lovely ladies from Raleigh Manor know how to shop! What a great seaside town this is with so much to see and do. And the fresh sea air is always good for the soul.
