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.

Life at Raleigh Manor Care Home
Resident Meets Lifetime Heros
Resident, Kenneth Brookshaw, at Exmouth Care Home, Raleigh Manor has been a life long supporter of what was his local football team, Plymouth Argyle. When chatting to a staff member recently, he mentioned how much his he loved his life in Plymouth and what is local team meant to him. So, the staff at the home decided to organise a special event for Ken, getting to meet the Plymouth Argyle team in person - proving the old adage, it’s never too late.
