Activities at Adlington Manor Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Lynne Bowler
I joined the activities team at Adlington Manor in May 2017. Previously, I have worked as a tree surgeon and have had heavy involvement with the Guides and Brownies. I love participating in activities with residents, whether that's by driving the minibus on trips outside the home, or by engaging in themed days.
I am passionate about my role and especially the challenge of coming up with new ways to engage as many residents as possible in our activities here.

Christmas at Adlington Manor
Christmas is coming and the gentleman took advantage of a beautiful, chilly day to visit the local garden centre.
It was magical to see all the beautiful decorations, visit the small animals, and have a lovely cup of tea and slice of cake before returning to a nice warm home for dinner!
Armistice Day
Staff and residents share 2 minutes silence in an act of remembrance at 11.00am on 11 November 2024.
They each had their own thoughts and gave a silent thank you to all those who serve, past, present and future.
We will remember them.
The Band of the Grenadier Guards Concert
Our residents who are ex service personnel were accompanied by Amanda, also former service woman, visited the concert in Manchester given by the Band of the Grenadier Guards.
It was an amazing experience! After the concert, stories of service were exchanged between past and present service men.
Many thanks to the Band of the Grenadier guards who made this such a special experience for Peter, Robert, Amanda and our driver Colin.
Assisted Bike Riding
On a lovely sunny day our resident and staff set off on a new adventure – Assisted bike riding. Poynton Pedals For All assisted our resident and staff to ride along the Middlewood Way on side by side electric bikes - it was an exhilarating experience and thanks to Poynton pedals for making such wonderful memories – we will be back!
Baking
Our residents love to bake and today, with Chef Alfie’s help , embarked on making pizza for all our resident for tea. First we made the dough , allowing for proving time - we love watching great British bake off! Once this was ready we made our toppings and in the oven they went. They emerge looking wonderful and chasing delicious- even the judges on our favorite cooking program would have been impressed!
