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 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.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Greendale Farm Shop
Another outing for our residents, this time to the wonderful Greendale Farm shop!! Our residents enjoyed a fabulous lunch and having a look at all the wonderful things to buy at the Farm Shop. Making the most of the good weather while we can!!!
Enjoy being Pampered!!
One thing many of our residents enjoy is being pampered. We are very fortunate to be able to have a beautiful salon in our home, so our residents can enjoy being pampered in the comfort of their own home.
Some of our residents will book a weekly appointment to have their hair done or even a manicure, this pampering time is just for them and helps with their wellbeing!! We feel so lucky to be able to provide this for our residents!!
Otterton Mill visit
Another example of how we tailor our Life Enrichment Program around each resident. Recently our Activities Coordinator, Sharon, found out one of our residents used to work in a Mill, this prompted an afternoon visit to Otterton Mill, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone! It also brought back fond memories for our resident and she was able to reminisce about her time working in the Mill. The welcome we received was fantastic and they even sent some home made scones away with our residents and flour for our chef to make some for everyone! They were truly scrumptious!
Beside the Seaside
With two beautiful beaches on our doorstep, we like to try and make the most of them and visit frequently. We took our residents on our minibus down to Budleigh Salterton; they enjoyed a stroll along the sea front and a lovely hot chocolate!
Wine Tasting
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of wine tasting recently, where they had a chance to taste various wines from around the world and judge them. It has been one of the most popular activities we’ve done.
Dog Walking
Residents love furry friends visiting and jumped at the chance of taking ‘Bailey’, who belongs to our Activities Coordinator, Sharon, for a walk in the local community. It’s great to be able to give our residents these opportunities.
