Activities at Caldy Manor Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators work together to provide daily activities suited to the tastes of residents. 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
Operation Christmas Child
Residents of Caldy Manor support many charities, both local and international. Residents have been busy packing shoe boxes with gifts for children who wouldn’t normally receive anything. They have made cards during their popular arts and craft sessions to go with the shoe boxes. They were so happy to have completed 20 boxes!
Caldy Manor knit poppies for District Nurses
Caldy Manor care home in Caldy recently presented local District Nurses with knitted poppies ready for Remembrance Sunday. The homes activities coordinator, Debbie Thomas has been knitting the poppies over several weeks.
Residents were happy to help support the project and chose the District Nurses as a worthy recipient of the poppies. Joan Neal, Resident, said “The nurses are so kind when they visit me and nothing is too much trouble for them. We wanted them to know how much we appreciate everything they do for us”.
Oktoberfest fun
Residents recently took part in Oktoberfest 2020. We watched last year’s event on YouTube and enjoyed some German themed snacks prepared by our Head Chef. We had a fun afternoon together sharing stories and enjoying the music .

Harvest fun for Residents
Residents of Caldy Manor really enjoyed working as a team on their salt dough decorations for the Barchester Harvest Festival Competition. Resident, Irene worked hard on preparing the dough for other residents to create the decorations.
They then spent the afternoon creating decorations to paint for their Harvest display. Everyone shared their memories of past Harvest festivals at school.
'Latte' fun for Residents at Macmillan Coffee Morning
Staff and residents at Caldy manor in Wirral held a charity coffee morning on 25th September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Having a Coffee Morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. In 2019, an incredible £27.5 million was raised and Macmillan are aiming to top that this year. The money raised at our Coffee Morning will help everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
Residents enjoyed activities with their friends within the home and staff. Sheena Elder, resident at Caldy Manor won a bottle of Prosecco for guessing the number of sprinkles on the top of Colin the caterpillar cake. Residents enjoyed a morning together listening to music and playing games
Caldy Manor’s coffee morning was a big success - they managed to raise £50.00 and most importantly, everyone had a lot of fun doing it!
