Activities at Raleigh Manor Care Home

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Celebrating our Couples

Day's like Valentines Day and anniversaries are extra special occasions for the couples that live at Raleigh Manor. We like to do something special to celebrate what has been a long and loving time together.

Quick Start Spring

Getting a quick start trip to one of our favourite outing locations, Greendale Farm shop. Always so much to see and do here and we look forward to more visits over the warmer months to come.

Book Club At Large

We have a very enthusiastic Book Club at Raleigh Manor and it was time to get out to one of their favourite places again.... Winstones in Sidmouth. They were in their element and come home with some new treasures!

Music and Movement

Combining music and movement creates the perfect activity to engage the mind, the body and the soul.We conduct many different sessions in the home based around these but it is always refreshing to try something new.This fabulous session was led by Diana who had all our residents singing and moving and having a thoroughly good time!
