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
The Donkey Sanctuary
Raleigh Manor residents enjoyed a fantastic day out at The Donkey Sanctuary.
This outing was very much appreciated by our residents who enjoyed a nutritious picnic made by our Head Chef to take with them. They had a chance to get up close to the donkeys.
It was lovely to see such wonderful smiles on their return home and to hear about their wonderful day!
Film Afternoon
We've been looking forward to trying out our new cinema, so we treated residents to a film afternoon with popcorn, which they thoroughly enjoyed!
Stuart Line Cruises
Raleigh Manor residents had their first trip out with Stuart Line Cruises recently. They enjoyed a fabulous trip along the River Exe and were excited to be able to spot our home from the boat!
Residents commented on the fantastic service and this is just one example of some of the exciting trips that are organised for those we support.
