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.

Kirstie Cobb

Activities Lead

I joined Barchester as a carer in 2019, and quickly realised I had a passion for helping people live their best lives. In June 2022 after a move to Exmouth, I joined the team Raleigh Manor as a carer and enjoyed helping with the activities. When the role of Activities Coordinator became available, I jumped at the chance to combine my care background with my desire to truly enrich the lives of the residents in my care.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home

Ice-cream by the Sea

It's not just hay you make when the sun shines. It is also memories of eating ice-cream by the sea. One of many summer trips down to the Exmouth seafront enjoying the sunshine. 

Summer Wedding Magic

When Saskia planned her wedding, she didn’t think her beloved Grandma, Jose would be able to attend. Jose, a resident at Raleigh Manor care home in Exmouth also didn’t think she was going to be able to be there when her Granddaughter got married. Knowing how important this occasion was for Jose, the staff at the home put together a plan to get Jose to the wedding.

Games in the Garden

Getting out into the garden this week was such a pleasure. A game of Bowls was the perfect way to send a beautiful afternoon. Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly competition!

Celebrating 200 Years of Cadburys

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Raleigh Manor care home in Exmouth were treated to an afternoon of nostalgia and delicious memories when they were joined by Cadbury archivist Sarah Foden and Brand Manager Connor Gould for a talk from the nation’s favourite chocolate brand.

Greendale Here We Come

With the warmer weather back, the minibus has been busy again. One of our favourite outings is the local Greendale Farm Shop. Time to pull out the sun hats and enjoy a bit of farm life.

A Wish Brought to Life

When we asked our residents what they had always wished to do, one said to visit the National Aquarium in Plymouth. So that is exactly what we did. And what a fantastic time he had. It is a great pleasure to be able to do this for our residents.
