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
Happy 102nd Birthday Eric!
We celebrated a very special birthday this week, as Eric turned 102! So we held a special tea party for Eric and his family.
Several generations of Eric's family joined him to celebrate such a special day. On behalf of all residents and staff at Lawton Manor, we all wish Eric a very Happy Birthday.
Virtual Tour of Mayfair
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Singing the Day Away
We had the wonderful Becca Gee in to sing for us, and everyone from our residents to relatives and even staff had an absolute ball!
Becca covered some of our favourite hits from back in the day, and every face in the room was plastered with a smile. We all had a dance and sang along to classics such as The Drifters' - Kissin' In the Back Row of the Movies, which had everyone clapping along.
Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon Becca, and we can't wait until next time!
National Ice Cream Day
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.
Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.
That's Life!
We welcomed Northeast Producers Travelling Theatre Company this week for a 'pocket production' of That's Life! They specialise in taking well-known theatre productions to smaller venues, bringing the theatre to us right here in Lawton Manor.
That's Life is such a well-known production, our residents had a lovely time singing along to tunes such as Que Sera Sera and Knees Up Mother Brown. It was a great afternoon!
Joint Birthday Celebrations
This week we held a combined birthday celebration for friends Ivor, Doreen and Herbert as they all celebrated reaching birthdays in their 90s on the same day on 11th July. Doreen turned 91, Ivor was 94 and Herbert turned 95!
There was a presentation of flowers and cake for each of them in honour of their coincidental birthdays. As a thank you, Ivor even arranged with Head Chef Nick for a cake to be made for the team at Lawton Manor, and left a beautiful thank you note expressing his thanks and gratitude for all that the team do. It was a wonderful day!
