Activities at Raleigh Manor Care Home

A trip out to Otter Nursery at Christmas is an absolute must! What a perfect display of everything Christmas along with a great cafe! A wonderful time in Wonderland for certain.

A group of very lucky residents were invited for a sneak preview of the local primary school's nativity play. At this dress rehearsal, they got to meet the talented cast and watch them in action. Thank you to everyone at Brixington Primary Academy, it was a joy.

Chris Wiseman from RAF Exeter was invited in to give a talk on the history of the RAF in Exeter.  The residents were very interested in the information Chris provided and had many of their own war-time stories to share with him also. A thoroughly enjoyable event for everyone involved and one we would recommend to others.

With Remembrance Day, we conducted a poppy creativity session. It was a good opportunity for everyone to discuss what Remembrance Day means to them while expressing themselves creatively.

Local childcare group, Chunky Chowns came in to Raleigh Manor to do their Trick or Treating at the home. Behind every door they knocked, was a huge smile of a delighted resident ready with some yummy treats! And we finished off with some story telling.

We were full of winged wisdom last Wednesday when the Hawkridge Birds of Prey Centre came to visit the home. Residents at Raleigh Manor were pleasantly surprised to witness a parliament of owls taking over the main lounge. Katy Smith, Activities Coordinator said “This visit has been an outstanding success. We had residents, friends, relatives and staff members all engaged and excited to be able to get up close and personal to these mystical creatures.”
