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.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Mayor Supports Birthday Fund Raiser
Attendees of Raleigh Manor care home’s fete on Thursday August 4 were delighted to welcome Steve Gazzard, Mayor of Exmouth, along with his partner Diane Love and the town cryer Roger Bourgein. The fete was a celebration of Raleigh Manor’s first birthday combined with an event to raise much needed funds for local charity, the Devon Freewheelers. Community, staff and residents all came out on a beautiful sunny afternoon to enjoy great food, games, crafts and raffles.
Mayor Steve Gazzard spoke to the crowd, commenting: “It was really important for me to attend the Raleigh Manor summer fete. I have seen Raleigh Manor progress from the development stages and it is a pleasure to see the wonderful service it is now delivering to our community.
