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
Ice-cream by the Sea
It's not just hay you make when the sun shines. It is also memories of eating ice-cream by the sea. One of many summer trips down to the Exmouth seafront enjoying the sunshine.
Summer Wedding Magic
When Saskia planned her wedding, she didn’t think her beloved Grandma, Jose would be able to attend. Jose, a resident at Raleigh Manor care home in Exmouth also didn’t think she was going to be able to be there when her Granddaughter got married. Knowing how important this occasion was for Jose, the staff at the home put together a plan to get Jose to the wedding.
Games in the Garden
Getting out into the garden this week was such a pleasure. A game of Bowls was the perfect way to send a beautiful afternoon. Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly competition!
Celebrating 200 Years of Cadburys

Greendale Here We Come
With the warmer weather back, the minibus has been busy again. One of our favourite outings is the local Greendale Farm Shop. Time to pull out the sun hats and enjoy a bit of farm life.
A Wish Brought to Life
When we asked our residents what they had always wished to do, one said to visit the National Aquarium in Plymouth. So that is exactly what we did. And what a fantastic time he had. It is a great pleasure to be able to do this for our residents.
