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
Lanterns for Halloween
Residents have been lighting the way with their creativity and produced a lovely crop of carved Pumpkin Lanterns
Gastro Experience
By popular vote, residents chose to make a trip to The Ash Inn in at Mow Cop. The Views from the top were so clear it was a perfect day for a delicious Gastro pub lunch and the service was fantastic!
Creative writing
We had a great time joining journalist and novelist, Mike Gayle, for an intriguing virtual interview, during which he shared top tips for creative writing with our residents and read passages from his latest book, All the Lonely People.
We were thrilled to find out about Mike’s background, to understand what led him to become a writer and his creative process.
It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all, especially by our keen writers at the home.
Receptionist celebrates Long Service Award
A Receptionist-Administrative Assistant at Lawton Manor in Church Lawton has received a prestigious Long Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for Fifteen years.
Julie Buckley, Receptionist, started at Barchester in October 2006 and has worked with residents, their relatives, nurses, carers and visiting health care professionals to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Jane McFarlane, Employee Services Director at Barchester said: “I’m always pleased to hear stories about the long service of Barchester staff and am delighted Julie has achieved this milestone. It is dedication like this that ensures our residents are provided with a happy place to live.”
A perfect day!
We all enjoyed a tasty fish and chip lunch whilst boating in the "Mary Sunley" on the Macclesfield Canal. The beautiful autumn scenery is stunning at this time of year and we spotted three beautiful Herons along the way!
