Activities at Trinity Manor Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.
Being active and full of energy with humbleness is what defines me and transferring that energy to the people around me has been my prime interest.

Life at Trinity Manor Care Home
Elves at Work...
We have had a VERY busy few days here at Trinity Manor, with our kick-off to Christmas, recently which also incorporated Elf day...
We were delighted to welcome our favourite classical pianist, Alan Poulton, to the home to get us off and running the right festive direction by the way of some wonderful music, carols and Christmas songs. Joining us for the occasion was also our lovely Mayor and Sherborne Town Councillor, Juliet Pentolfe, who sent some time chatting with the residents, before enjoying the Christmassy music - Thank you Juliet, it's such a pleasure to have you with us for the afternoon.
If you were visiting the home, you may have noticed that a few of Santa's helpers have lost their way from the North Pole and diverted here to the home - Yes, folks, it's the annual Alzheimier's Society's Elf Day, which has brought much joy and laughter to the home as the staff all looked extra daft for the day!
30 AMAZING Years for Barchester!
What a fabulously busy day our residents have recently, which has ended with some 30th birthday celebrations for Barchester Healthcare, held on (of course!) 30th of the month!
Trinity Manor marked this fantastic milestone for Barchester, with a specially made cake by Stuart our Chef and of course the obligatory glass of fizz.
Staff and residents said a few words, before the lovely Leweston School students joined us and got the party started with some Christmas songs on the piano!
Thank you to all for making this such a wonderful event and a good excuse for an old-fashioned Christmas sing along!
Let's Get Physical
Ok, so they are not quite up for cartwheelling across the lounge just yet, but we are certain it won't be much longer before they attempt an occasional handstand or too, especially the way that Communifit's Craig is working them all...
Another fantastic session, very much enjoyed by our residents here at Trinity Manor recently, as Craig put them through their paces - Determined to keep our residents fitter & stronger for longer!
Thank you, Craig! See you again for next week's class!
Going to the Chapel...
We had THE best day here at Trinity Manor recently, as we conducted our very first wedding...
Never in a million years did we think we would ever be hosting such a thing, but when the daughter of one of our residents, recently tied the knot, we decided to work her, to get her mum involved too... so we set about hatching a very cunning plan!
Invites were sent to all the residents, the menu planned & order of services sorted in time for the big day.
Having married last week, Jackie and her new husband Keith, today had a beautiful second ceremony up on our Memory Lane community, surrounded by some very happy & emotional residents.
All dressed up extra special in their wedding wardrobe, Jackie was walked down the aisle by her lovely mum, Audrey, into the arms of the awaiting groom, Keith. Then following a small ceremony officiated by Home Services Advisor, Rebekah, which included a poem read by another resident, Pauline and songs; 'Daisy, Daisy' and 'When I'm 64', they finally said 'I do!' again before walking down the aisle, being showered with confetti by all!
What a joy it has been for EVERYONE to be a part of this very special day, but especially for Audrey too!
CONGRATULATIONS JACKIE & KEITH!!!!
Re-use, Recycle!
We like to think that as a home we do our little bit for the planet here in the home, so at Trinity Manor recently, Activities Co-ordinator, Laura and resident Sheila, busied themselves doing their little bit too...
They spent some time sorting through old Christmas cards, that were collected at the end of last year's festivities, so that they might try and re-use some of them for labels on gifts, or to cut pieces of them out to re-stick on some newly made cards for upcoming seasonal crafting afternoons.
What a great job you have done - Well done, ladies!
Maradonna Moves!
With the world cup matches now well under way, everyone here in the home is getting well into the spirits of things, not only watching the matches on the cinema screen here in the home, but even playing a little bit of the 'beautiful game' for themselves...
Whilst each sat in a wonderfully comfortable chair, our residents got really competitive as they fought for possession of the ball, as they played a little seated football in our lounge.
There may have been one or two illegal 'hand of God' moves going on, but then it wouldn't be a world cup match without a little controversy, now would it?
