Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home

We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in celebration of National Beer Day.

Our residents enjoyed a mini beer festival in the garden and got involved in a variety of interesting activities.

Some of our residents spent time learning about brewing and the history of beer, others preferred to join the beer tasting session in the garden and to try some British beers.

It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.

Residents at Boroughbridge Manor were delighted with the arrival of flowers kindly donated by the local Morrisons supermarket. 

Krzysztof, General Manager at Boroughbridge said "It was a lovely surprise for our residents and it's perfect to support our flower arranging classes. The reaction we received from our residents was priceless and we really appreciate the kind donations from Morrisons."

Residents had a lovely afternoon joining the team from Hereford Cathedral as they were given a glimpse of the spectacular building and its treasures as they were taken on a tour of the site.

From the stunning gardens which lead down to the River Wye, to the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library, the virtual visit shared the history and beauty of the historic building.

It was wonderful to learn more about the history and beauty of Hereford Cathedral.

Here at Boroughbridge Manor we were pleased to be able to dive into the wild safari life of Knowsley Safari and to enjoy an amazing live stream tour of the park’s grounds.

Our residents were smiling and laughing as they got up close and personal with some of the safari’s most popular animals, including giraffes and meerkats.

We had a wonderful time learning more about the animals and enjoying some live feeding demonstrations. 

Whether you’re a die-hard Digestive fan, a Ginger Nut, or go crazy for a Custard Cream, National Biscuit Day, celebrated on May 29th, is the perfect day for you. And it was certainly a day of fun-filled biscuit dunking for the staff and residents at Boroughbridge Manor.

To mark the celebration of the nation’s favourite biscuits, residents tucked into a variety of different options, which of course, were paired with a good old cup of tea.  There was much fun to be had taking part in biscuit themed quizzes, and of course baking some delicious biscuits for all to enjoy!

There were happy scenes at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home as staff and residents celebrated Barchester Healthcare being placed 43rd in the top 75 Best Companies in Yorkshire and the Humber to work for.

The Best Companies awards recognise companies’ commitment to their employees and to workplace engagement and are made all the more meaningful because they are awarded based on feedback from a randomly selected cross-section of the company’s own employees.

It is absolutely wonderful to be recognised as an Outstanding company to work for, we are all so proud. We all love what we do and I think that shines through. At Barchester, we are a family and the past year has shown that we can do anything if we all pull together.
