Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
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 have recently been promoted to Head of Activities here at Boroughbridge Manor.
I have worked at Boroughbridge Manor for 7 years, I love making our residents smile. I get great satisfaction knowing I have made someone’s day better!
Myself, Leoni and Suzanne 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.

Life at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home
Ladies Day at Royal Ascot
We brought ladies day here to us at Boroughbridge Manor!
We had a lovely time sipping champagne, eating gorgeous strawberry cream cakes and taking a punt on the horses in the sweepstake!
What a lovely way to spend the day with the sun shining bright and spirits raised high!
Musical Moments
We enjoyed another lovely afternoon spent with Musical Moments.
From singing tunes, shaking maracas, listening to the brass instruments - the residents have enjoyed another interactive and engaging session with Maggie and Suzanne.
Carers Week at Boroughbridge Manor
Happy Carers Week! We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers at Boroughbridge Manor.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
As part of the week, our carers received numerous donations and gifts from local organisations and businesses and lovely thank you cards from our community members, relatives and friends.
National Trust talk
We had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters.
The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
Creating posies with florist
We had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays.
Our home was specially decorated for festivities!
Jubilee celebrations fit for a Queen!
We marked the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style with fantastic activities and a royal party!
In recognition of the special occasion, we decorated our home with bunting, beautiful flower displays and themed royal items, including flags and printed photos of the Queen. We also had a very special visit from the lovely KL PONY Therapy. Thank you so much for an amazing morning!
During the day, our residents enjoyed a variety of sensory sessions and fun-filled activities made their own crowns; watched the national celebrations on the TV; enjoyed refreshing royal drinks with strawberries and sparkling mocktails.
To make things even more interesting, we’ve hosted our very own Royal Party where community members, families and friends were invited.
Everyone enjoyed delicious sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef and his team, along with tasty mocktails and hot beverages. The event was a big success.
Our festivities were fantastic and everyone was thrilled to celebrate the longest serving British monarch in style.
It was a great day, enjoyed by all
