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!
Myself and Kelly 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
Residents Take Advantage of the Sunshine
Residents took advantage of the sunny weather to enjoy the great outdoors and sit in the homes beautiful garden. Many of the ladies donned their summer hats to protect themselves and we able to sit back and enjoy a refreshing ice lolly as they chatted together.
It is important that residents are able to take advantage of the secure gardens as it significantly increases in levels of physical and mental wellbeing for everyone.
Shelbie Taylor, activities coordinator, said: “At Boroughbridge, we are always looking to plan interesting and exciting activities for residents and, as so many have a keen interest in nature and wildlife, we thought it was a great opportunity to sit outside and see what we could spot from our own space”
The residents had a wonderful day, and you could see from their reactions just how engaged we shall definitely look forward to sitting out here again.
Residents Spoilt on Mothering Sunday
The ladies of Boroughbridge celebrated Mother’s Day in style as they were treated to flowers, cards and small gifts seen everywhere and residents enjoyed FaceTime, skype and telephone calls from their children. We had a good old sing song to lift everyone’s spirits during the day and plenty of chatting about the old times when the children were young.
The team and residents shared stories and made it a day to remember.
