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.

Happy Scenes
These were the happy scenes at Lawton Manor as hairdressers were finally allowed back into the home.
Just like the rest of the country, residents had been waiting patiently for months to get their hair styled and so they were delighted to be able to book in for a long overdue cut and blow dry.

Residents enjoy walk around the lake
Residents at Lawton Manor took advantage of the early Spring sunshine to take a drip out on the mini-bus to enjoy a walk. Residents, Michael and Lesley both enjoyed a walk around Westport Lake, they enjoyed feeding the ducks and geese and both agreed the weather had been pleasantly kind. Residents are looking forward to their next trip out!

Incredible Ducks
We have thoroughly enjoyed in-house 'pet therapy' by hosting a hatchery of duck eggs for 10 days, welcoming 5 ducklings who hatched in their incubator at the home.
Residents have loved nurturing, feeding, watering and changing the duck's nest bedding
All the equipment was provided by the company "Incredible Eggs"
The chicks have now gone to their forever home in Mow Cop where they have acres of land and a huge pond to swim in

The Great Manor Bake Off
Residents designed, baked and decorated a beautiful Easter cake to enter into Barchester's Easter Cake Competition. Once the photos had been submitted to the judges the cake was cut and individual portions were shared amongst the master bakers.
