Activites 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.

Hetty's 105th Birthday

It was an incredibly special day at the home as we celebrated Hetty’s remarkable 105th birthday.  Surrounded by her loved ones, fellow residents, and our devoted team, Hetty enjoyed a joyful day full of smiles, laughter, and surprises—including a special visit from the Mayor of Boroughbridge, Councillor Pauline Phillips, who spent time with Hetty and her family to mark the occasion.

Following our recent appeal to gather 105 birthday cards, we were truly moved by the outpouring of kindness from the community—a phenomenal 167 cards were received!   A heartfelt thank you to everyone who sent Hetty a card. She and her family were deeply touched by your thoughtfulness.
