Activities at Queens 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.

Shannon Cullen

Senior Head of Lifestyle

Hi, my name is Shannon and I am Head of Lifestyle and Enrichment here at Queens Manor. I have come to Queens Manor with 6 years of experience in the planning, activities and events sector.

I ensure that myself and the team get to know each resident's preferences so that we can deliver a person-centred programme of events and activities within the home - Including activities that positively impact physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. I strongly believe that creating great moments and memories for our residents and embracing their individuality with tailor made activities is the way forward.

In an era of developing technologies, we are using new ways of reaching out to family and friends - though Zoom, Skype and Facebook Portal. We hope that our residents never feel alone or too far away from their loved ones this way. Each day I like to ensure that our residents enjoy themselves in a calm, stimulating and fun environment, whilst creating bonds with each other and staff.

A Tasty Treat From Domino's

At Queens Manor we feel so proud of all of our residents for the way they are handling the current climate and we feel so privileged to be the ones ensuring they receive that extra bit of TLC that is so needed right now.

For other key workers in our area to recognise our efforts and support us is really heartwarming and the fact that support is in the form of delicious pizza is even better!

Thank you to Laszlo our delivery driver and the team at Corstorphine Domino's for making our day! The pizza was so amazing that some of us couldn't even wait to get our mask off ey Denise...

Bagpipes Lead our 8.00pm Clap

We love having the chance to show our appreciation for the NHS and all key workers during the 8pm clap. This Thursday's was made extra special with Jamie the Piper kindly coming to perform at our home. Residents and staff loved the performance and even with social distancing in place we all still enjoyed the warming sherry together for the final tune.

Our Therapet Family Comes For a Safe Distance Visit

Whilst we might not be able to enjoy our usual cuddles it was amazing to see our friends Hermit the tortoise and Malcolm the dachshund from a safe distance today. Angela and Harry, our therapet family, brought them along with a delivery of cupcakes for the staff and lots of good wishes. We have missed you so much and cannot wait to see your properly again. Thank you for our yummy cakes!

Letters from Trinity Primary

We were overwhelmed to receive letters and chocolate Easter eggs from Trinity Primary PSA this Easter. Residents enjoyed learning about the lives of the different pupils and reading all their lovely stories and good wishes. In these unprecedented times, ensuring we feel engaged and connected within our local community is more important than ever and acts of kindness go a long way. We’re very grateful to teacher, Aimi Armstrong and her pupils at Trinity Primary for thinking of us and taking the time to reach out, you brought a lot of warmth and cheer to our home.

Somewhere over the rainbow!

Our resident Myra has been busy making a beautiful rainbow to display from our window here at Queens Manor.

The idea is that members of community display rainbows in their windows so that children can go ‘rainbow spotting’ when out for their exercise with family. The colourful displays are brightening up everyone’s day! The Facebook group has over 90,000 members and the home is delighted to be part of the community spirit.
