Activities at Caldy 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. We encourage those we support to continue with any hobbies whilst they stay at home. We also hold group activities, such as exercise to music, sing-alongs, craft sessions and visits to local places of interest. There are also evening events, including cheese & wine evenings and race nights. We keep families up-to-date through our newsletter and notices that can be found across the home. Family and friends are always welcome to join in!

Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Weekly Quiz
Here at Caldy, our weekly quiz is our favourite activity.
It helps keep our minds active and brings out our competitive side. We go head-to-head with three rounds, from general knowledge to 'finish these phrases'.
We also bring back some previous questions just to see if we remember them and learn.
Show and Tell
We had such an interesting afternoon together. We shared our hobbies and interests with each other and took the time to listen and ask questions.
We had residents who created patchwork and another resident who brought in her daughters' creative work to show and tell.
It was such a lovely afternoon as we all felt we got to know each other a little bit more.
Caldy Grammar School Visit
Students from Caldy Grammar school came to visit us for an art project.
They asked questions about all our residents' hobbies and interests and went away over Christmas to create a piece of artwork.
When the students came back to us, we were blown away by the amount of effort the students had put in. Each piece was so personal to each of our residents.
Pantomime at Caldy!
Northeast Production came to put on a performance for everyone at Caldy Manor.
Alice in Wonderland was performed by two actresses who swapped characters throughout the play.
There was a part for one of our residents to take part in which was a pleasant surprise to us all. The show ended with a Christmas carol sing along which brought the spirit of Christmas to everyone.
Cinema Trip
Staff and residents had a wickedly good time at a local cinema.
Popcorn, chocolates and sweets were enjoyed throughout the movie. Wicked was new to the residents, and they thoroughly enjoyed the costumes and the music from the film.
They were pleasantly surprised to learn that the film was taken from a West End show.
Pub Lunch
Staff and residents went to a local pub to enjoy a festive afternoon.
Residents requested this particular pub as past visits have always gone down well. Crackers and festive napkins were laid on the table to bring that festive spirit.
The food and company were wonderful and another trip for a pub lunch is under way.
