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
Susan's Sax & Toffee the Dog
We were lucky to have Susan visit Adlington Manor with her saxophone, clarinet and Toffee the dog. She amazed us all with her saxophone and clarinet skills. The residents and staff really enjoyed the easy-listening music and sang along to some well-known classics. Toffee the dog (puppet) went down a storm and really added to the act! We look forward to seeing Susan and Toffee again!
Musical Deelites
The talented Musical Deelites joined us once again this week. Deborah has an amazing voice and the residents really look forward to her cheery and friendly ways. We can't wait to have her back to sing again!
Redesmere Lake
We enjoyed a trip to Redesmere Lake to see the rare breed ducks and duckings yesterday - and to enjoy an ice cream, of course!
An Afternoon in the Sunshine
We went to the Woodford Garden Centre and had a great afternoon in the sunshine looking at plants for our garden and enjoying a cream scone in the cafe.
Poppy the Horse
We were honoured yesterday to receive a visit from Poppy. She came and enjoyed some carrots and a fuss from residents.
A big thanks to our carer, Kate, for bringing her in.
The Manor's Musical Delight
We all enjoyed the beautiful singing of Deborah. She got all the residents singing along and waving flags when she visited last week. We look forward to seeing Deborah again soon!
