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
Celebrating World Book Day
We welcomed a group of children from Brixington Primary Academy along with their Head Master, Stuart Dyer in celebration of World Book Day on Friday the 4th of March. The children and their teachers went to a lot of effort to bring their favourite books alive by dressing up as the characters and reading to our residents.
Surprise!
When much loved resident, Ken had a birthday this month we got stealthy and planned a small surprise party for him. We gathered just before he came back from a family lunch and as he entered the lounge on his return..... SURPRISE!
It's Time for Pancakes
An absolute must on Shrove Tuesday is the consumption of pancakes! And that is just what we did at Raleigh Manor. With so many toppings to choose from there was a delightful flavour combination to suit everyone. A happy pancake day was had by all.
Valentines Day Surprise
The residents at Raleigh Manor surprised the staff with a giant heart card on Valentines Day. It was heart warming gesture to thank all the staff at Raleigh Manor for the work they do. The residents had been working on this idea for a week and it came as a very special surprise.
