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
National Spa Week
National spa week is a wellness celebration that encourages individuals to prioritise self-care and relaxation. It offers an opportunity for individuals to explore various spa services and therapies designed to promote physical and mental health. We used our sensory light and essential oil diffuser to create a serene atmosphere.
Residents enjoyed a variety of treatments including use of the foot spa, manicures and massages all whilst enjoying a glass of fizz and listening to spa sounds
Remember, remember the 5th of November
What a fantastic turn out tonight was!
Thank you to each and every one of you that came to our firework display. We hope you all had a great evening.
Huge thanks to our Head Chef Tony and Thomas for the delicious hot dogs, what a treat!
It was so lovely to see our residents and families together.
Bonfire celebrations
Staff and residents at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home in Boroughbridge celebrated Bonfire Night with a bang this November 5th when they wrapped up warm to gather around the garden to watch a fantastic firework display and enjoy lots of seasonal treats washed down with warm refreshments.
Harvest Donations
We successfully donated three boxes of hearty goods to Boroughbridge Community Larder as part of our Harvest Festival.
We would like to thank staff, families and visitors for your very generous donations. It is all very much appreciated.
World Mental Health Day
Today marks World Mental Health Day. This day is held every year to help raise mental health awareness.
This morning residents took part in a creative craft session whilst other residents and staff members were encouraged to write down their feelings and express what makes them happy and what makes them feel good.
Throughout the day some of our residents gathered together to share their advice and thoughts for staying positive and the importance of positive thinking over a cuppa and a walk in the garden which was a huge success.
Eyes down, look in!
It’s a bit of a chilly day today so we've been playing a spot of bingo in our cozy, warm living room.
While it’s a good giggle, it certainly shows the competitive streak our residents would have had in the bingo halls back in the day! We saw some new winners today, but as always bingo queen Audrey won the final game!
