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.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Raleigh
Raleigh Manor had a visit from a local band ‘Blast from The Past’. The afternoon was well-received by everyone; staff and residents got their dancing shoes on and enjoyed singing along to some well-known songs.
Feeling Puzzled
Residents enjoy a quiet afternoon in the lounge with a puzzle. We will always have one on the go somewhere in our home for residents or staff to do on their own or together as a team!
PAT Dog Visit
Many of our residents have owned dogs in their time and have missed the comfort they bring, so we arranged for a local PAT dog named ‘Joli’ to visit. Joli is a 3 year old black Labrador; she’s full of fun and the residents thoroughly enjoyed being able to feed her treats, give her a brush and give her lots of love. We will be seeing more of Joli for sure!
Haynes Motor Museum
Here at Raleigh Manor, we really do try to make things happen. One of our new residents told us he loved classic cars, so our team arranged for him and other residents to take a trip on our minibus to Haynes International Motor Museum to have a look at the spectacular cars they have on show.
Garden Jenga
Our residents at Raleigh Manor make the most of the good weather and recently enjoyed a fun game of Garden Jenga.
Garden Fun
Our residents enjoyed a fun game with balloons and a parachute in our beautiful garden. This was a chance to enjoy the fresh air and have some fun whilst getting some exercise. There was a lot of laughter going on!
