Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Shelbie Taylor
Hi my name is Shelbie, I am proud to be the Head of Activities here at Boroughbridge Manor.
I have worked at Boroughbridge Manor since 2017, I love making our residents smile. I get great satisfaction knowing I have made someone’s day better!
I have created a wonderful culture within Boroughbridge Manor and we work together to give our residents the best possible experiences.
We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centred program of events and activities. We are extremely fortunate to have our very own minibus, we love taking the residents out for coffee, shopping and lots of fun trips out whether that be to the museum or the seaside.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Visiting Baby Lambs at Yolk Farm
This morning, we visited Yolk Farm Kitchen to feed the delightful lambs.
The lambs were eager and clearly ready for their meal. Each resident had the chance to bottle-feed at least one lamb as they leaped around in their pen.
The experience brought back many memories for some and created new ones for others, making it an enjoyable and memorable morning. We are so grateful to the Yolk Farm team for their warm hospitality.
Easter Bunny Hunt

Laughter, excitement, and treats galore - what more could you ask for!
National Gardening Day
We celebrated National Gardening Day by getting our green fingers dirty.
The morning saw a group of our residents board the minibus and take a trip to the local garden centre, browsing all the beautiful plants and flowers. Thank you for being so wonderful Hardwick's Garden Centre and for the incredibly kind donation of flowers for our residents garden area.
In the afternoon, we had lots of fun potting some of our new finds! Watching our residents' faces light up as they nurtured their new green friends was pure joy!
Morrisons Easter Egg Donation
Staff and residents at the home began celebrating Easter early with a variety of activities, thanks to a generous donation of Easter eggs from the local Morrisons supermarket in Boroughbridge.
The residents at the were absolutely delighted when colleagues from the local Morrisons supermarket dropped off the Easter eggs. Their faces lit up with joy as they received the colourful treats, and the generous gesture brought a lovely community spirit into the home. The residents expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Morrisons colleagues.
