Activities at Lawton Manor Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Chloe Cameron
This is Chloe and she is our Activities Coordinator here at Lawton Manor. Her job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. She wants to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that Chloe holds very close to her heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them. A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Minibus as we create new, special memories together.

Life at Lawton Manor Care Home
Remembrance Sunday
We gathered together for a heartfelt two minutes of silence, honouring all those who fought and gave their lives for our country.
With a glass of sherry in hand, our residents and staff stood together in remembrance, showing incredible support on this important day.
We were delighted to have The Bikers stop by for a special visit with Ivor.
They shared a warm cup of tea and spent time chatting about the importance of Remembrance Sunday, making the morning even more memorable.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed afternoon tea together, sharing memories and stories of those we’ve lost on this unforgettable day.
The spirit of remembrance filled the room, reminding us of the courage and sacrifices made by so many.
Lest We Forget, We Will Remember Them.
Flower Arranging
We enjoyed a wonderful flower arranging session!
Our residents created beautiful bouquets, and then we handed them out to those who couldn’t join us outside their rooms.
Michael did the honours of delivering each arrangement, spreading smiles, warmth, and love to every resident.
Ann even kept tickling Michael along the way, adding extra laughter to the day!
Barbara, Joan, and Ann especially loved the fresh, beautiful smell of the flowers.
Gentlemen's Day at Lawton Manor
Today, we celebrated Gentlemen’s Day in style!
Our wonderful gents were treated to pamper sessions, including haircuts and beard trims, courtesy of the talented Scott from Scott's Barbers, Butt Lane.
Scott worked his magic, creating a relaxing and refreshing experience that left everyone feeling their best.
It was a chance for our gentlemen to sit back, unwind, and enjoy some well-deserved attention.
We want to say a big thank you to Scott for taking the time to do this for our gentlemen. It’s always heart-warming to see such kindness and care in action.
We appreciate all the amazing gentlemen in our home and wanted to remind them just how special they are.
Days like this are all about making memories and bringing smiles to everyone’s faces!
Out and About at All Saints Church Craft Fair!
Kimberley and Beth joined Sarah and Joan for a lovely trip to the All Saints Church Craft Fair this week. Sarah and Joan are two of our more crafty residents, so this was their ideal day out! There was plenty to browse, and it did wonders for both Sarah and Joan's creativity. They both came away with lots of ideas of things they want to do over the next couple of months, and maybe even create for our home's Christmas Fair!
It was so much fun exploring the variety of stalls! Kimberley and Joan enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea and a good chat, while Beth and Sarah did a bit of shopping.
We love getting out into the community and always look forward to more events like this!
Trip to Astbury Meadow Garden Centre
Chloe & Kimberley from our activities team had a wonderful outing to Astbury Meadow Garden Centre with residents Ann, Doug, Neil, and Neil's wife Gill!
Now that 'spooky season' is coming to an end, all of our local garden centres are starting to bring out the Christmas goodies! So we took a trip out and had a great time browsing through all the beautiful Christmas decorations, and even made a stop at the café for a delicious lunch! Doug absolutely loved his fish and chips.
What garden centre should we visit next? We can’t wait to explore more!
Neil Meets his Great-Granddaughter
Neil had the incredible joy of meeting his beautiful great-granddaughter, Harriet, for the very first time since she was born. To make this moment even more special, little Harriet was wearing Neil’s 95-year-old christening gown, a family treasure passed down through generations.
Our amazing carers, Jill & Katie, were there to witness this unforgettable reunion, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The love and happiness that filled the space were simply overwhelming – truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment that will be cherished by all.
Tears of joy, smiles all around, and memories made forever.
