Activites at Adlington Manor Care Home

As part of our commitment to the environment, we have up cycled a number of old bikes for decoration around our lovely gardens - the cycles were decorated and painted by our residents and staff to add colour and talking points.  

Our courtyard looks amazing with the scent of flowers in the air and the sun shining down.

Monday19th of May was world baking day. 

We decided that we would love pizza for tea, so with the help of Alfie, our lovely Chef and Nurse Ruth, the pizza was duly delivered to everyone for tea and we thoroughly enjoyed it.   

Counsellor Jon Weston, Mayor Bollington and Poynton village PCSO can for tea following the refurbishment of our Dementia unit. 

They chatted with our lovely residents who enjoyed meeting new faces and were enthralled by the Mayor’s chain of office. Pictured with our amazing team of nurses and Fiona General Manger. 

VE day dawned with an air of expectation in our home. We were up at a moderately early time as our residents knew that we were going to have a lunchtime party. We spent the morning watching the celebration hoping that the sun would come out, but sadly, it was not warm enough to have our little street party outside. 

The dining room was set up and an amazing buffet lunch was enjoyed by all; nostalgic songs from an era long past that inspired singing along too! Complements to the chef for providing a wonderful spread. We spent the afternoon and evening watching the celebration and retired to bed with a sense of an amazing day which staff, residentd and relatives all enjoyed.

Eater Just would be the same without a lovely chocolate Easter egg.

The Easter bunny delivered eggs to all our residents, which made everyone smile and talk about memories of childhood. There was a lot of chocolate eating throughout the day!

Amanda Taylor  has been nominated by a number of people as Employee of the Month. 

One lovely compliment from Tell Barchester has commented that she should be the poster girl for our home – she demonstrates all the values that we at Barchester treasure . 

It is also National Elf day and we would encourage you to donate the Alzheimer’s society to enable care and research into Dementia.

Trevor Priestman, Care Practitioner at Adlington Manor, has achieved BA hons in History and Politics!

He has worked full time supporting our lovely residents, and been active in his local community, as well as achieving a 1st class Honours degree!

Staff and Residents are so proud of his wonderful achievement.

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!

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.
