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
IKEA Was Calling
Another outing for our residents, this time to IKEA for some serious retail therapy. They all had a wonderful time and managed their way through the IKEA maze better than most.
Tripping Out to Greendale
As the weather improves we are making the most of the Raleigh Manor mini van to get out and about. This week one of our trips was to the Greendale Farm Shop. A great spot to eat, drink and enjoy the animals.

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Raleigh Manor care home, in Exmouth, celebrated Easter with a whole host of different activities. But the best activity by far was the Easter Egg Hunt!

St Patricks Day Celebrated
St Patricks Day was celebrated by engaging in creativity and quiz mastery! The creative task was shamrock smoothies, a luxurious mint flavour. And for the mental challenge, the quiz was all about St Patricks day of course!
