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.

Salt dough plaits for Harvest Festival
Residents crafted salt dough plaits creating colourful harvest displays throughout the home which has brought a lot of joy to us all this week
'Hole in the Wall' Oatcakes for all!
Woods Bakery of Kidsgrove kindly baked 300 extra Staffordshire Oatcakes for Lawton Manor. They donated 50 packs of the freshly baked "Hole in the Wall" Oatcakes for residents and staff. Chef created a menu of options for fillings, all of which were delicious and staff received a pack each to take home on the day.

Cruising for Cuisine
On our virtual cruise around the world we have sampled delicacies from around the World that everyone has relished! We started the Cruise in the South of France enjoying French Onion Soup followed by Boeuf Bourguignon, In Greece we loved the Greek Salad, Lamb Koftas & Baklava. Once we sailed to America and docked in San Francisco, the homemade caramelised apple pie was a must! From there we sailed the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii for Pulled Pork sliders followed by a delicious Coconut, Pineapple & Malibu dessert. There have been so many fun things happening all week & we have even taken part in French lessons, Au Revoir!
All Creatures Great and Small
We are very grateful to have the company of some new creatures, great and small! With thanks to Diane Gibson of the Good Shepherd Church in Rode Heath for the beautiful Dinosaur, Owls & loveable Hedgehog. The handmade adorable Teddy Bears have been donated by Bev Boulton of All Saints Church, Church Lawton.
We regularly hold Church Services for all faiths here at Lawton Manor & community spirit is very important to us. We are proud to be welcoming new residents including creatures of the handmade kind.
