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
Circus themed fun
Residents and colleagues enjoyed a fun filled circus themed day, there was lots of laughter throughout the home! Residents enjoyed knocking down chocolate towers only to eat the proceeds broken in their attempts, juggling, reading their fortunes and playing games.
Having built up an appetite everyone tucked into a delicious spread of hot-dogs and fish and chips before settling back to relax with a movie afternoon watching classic ‘carry on’ movies with popcorn.
Exercising the mind, body and soul
Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Prestbury Beaumont. Residents took advantage of a damp afternoon to enjoy a selection of puzzles, games and jigsaws. As part of the homes life enrichment programme, we include firm favourites in the homes calendar with fun-filled adapted games that they played over the years in a safe environment!
'Hoppy' Easter fun
We celebrated Easter in style with a whole host of themed activities and egg-cellent entertainment. Our residents enjoyed decorating the home and a special visit from our Easter bunny. In recognition of the day, our talented chef prepared a delicious feast for all to enjoy, from carrot soup, roasted lamb and salmon with creamed spinach to tasty chocolate cake and Easter biscuits. As always, we’ve had an amazing time.
Avro Heritage Museum
Residents here at Adlington Manor had a wonderful visit to the Avro museum, which we are very lucky to have near by. Residents enjoyed walking around the exhibits and learning about the history of flight.

International Women's Day
Residents here at Adlington Manor marked International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8th by spending the day celebrating the wonderful women in our home.
IWD takes place on March 8 every year to celebrate women’s rights and inspire people to fight for gender equality. A United Nations-sanctioned global holiday, IWD celebrates women’s contributions to society, raises awareness about the fight for gender parity and inspires support for organisations that support women globally.
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
