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.

Life at Adlington Manor Care Home
Men in Sheds Donation
Men in Sheds Poynton has donated a bird table to our home. The table has been made by re-cycling furniture from our home that could no longer be used. Thank you, Men in Sheds!
Fish & Chip Lunch
Gentleman residents enjoyed a fish & chip lunch together, which was washed down with a little wine.
Winnie the Pooh Day
We enjoyed a day of Winnie the Pooh silliness & face prop making! Carers wore their best Pooh pjs, which really put a smile on residents' faces. We enjoyed reminiscing about A. A. Milne. In the afternoon, we had Pooh’s favourite, honey on flapjacks, and watched the original Winnie the Pooh movie. A great & silly time was had by all!
Notcutts Garden Centre
We had a trip to Notcutts Garden Centre in Woodford, Cheshire. We had a look around the Christmas sales & had a big hot chocolate to warm us all up after! Everyone had a great time & we’re already looking forward to going again.
Salvation Army Band
The Salvation Army Band came to entertain our residents recently. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the music and we hope we can have them back again soon.
Christmas at Adlington
Heather and her housekeeping team ensured that the home was beautiful on Christmas Day. Mother Christmas and her helpers made sure that we were all ready for our celebrations.
