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.
Frankie Sidwick
Frankie has been in care since 2011. Her career began in a nursing home, then she moved to young adults with learning difficulties, and finally went on to a home that specialised in mental health. Frankie now brings this wealth of knowledge into her activities role here at Raleigh Manor.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Pushing the Boat Out for Tony
Tony has lived at Raleigh Manor since February and is much loved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making this moment happen, as they knew how much sailing has been a part of Tony’s life and they wanted to be there to see the smile on Tony’s face when he set sail once more.
Otterton Mill Visit
It was off to Otterton Mill on the mini-bus. This was a first for most and a delightful trip into art, food craft and history. It was a very enjoyable and educational adventure and one we would recommend if you haven't been!
Celebrating Dogs!
Celebrating National Dog Day was so much fun! Our garden made the perfect setting for a dog agility demonstration. Thank you so much to the award winning talent Tail-Spin Training and Pawsitive Canine that came to show us their moves. It was brilliant.
International Cat Day
For International Cat Day, we invited rescue charity, Hectors House to bring some lovely young kittens in for us to cuddle and play with. Residents and staff alike enjoyed the opportunity to share some love with these sweet wee creatures. Check out the smiles! A big thank you to the volunteers from Hector's House, you made our day!
Sow and Grow Exmouth Project
Residents at Raleigh Manor care home in Exmouth were recently invited by Age UK Devon to attend their new ‘Sow and Grow’ project in Hamilton Lane.
The exciting project launched in April and aims to create opportunities for older people to use their gardening knowledge and skills, take part in regular activity and make new friends.
Young Talent Delights
A budding young performer and student from St John’s School in Sidmouth has been working on a project to provide something beneficial for the elderly. And benefit they did! With money she had fund raised for this project, Molly bought lots of treats for the residents. But the biggest treat of all was her singing to the residents, supported on keyboards by her music teacher, Louis Fitzhenry.
