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.

Life at Trinity Manor Care Home
Strictly Great Fun!
With Dementia Awareness month coming to a close, here at Trinity Manor things are just beginning to liven up...
The autumn time is upon us and the nights are drawing in, which means that BBC Strictly Come Dancing is now back on our screens in the run up to Christmas (much to our resident's delight!), which also means we are all getting our 'wiggle on' here in the home, channeling our inner Giovanni & Dianne!
With Debbie Knight - Health & Happiness Coach, coming to visit us here in the home recently, it was impossible not to get involved as her sessions are infectious in the best way possible. Everyone that could, was up and dancing and those that couldn't stand, moved and grooved in their chairs along to the music and shaked their maracas.
Thank you Debbie for spreading so much joy here in our home - please come and visit again soon! You are AMAZING!!!
Community Collaboration!
What a wonderful day recently as we supported Sherborne Fire Station for their very first charity car wash event since before the pandemic…
As the fire crew quickly got to work washing the cars of the many passers-by, the Trinity Manor team who consisted of: Admin Manager, Becky, Home Services Advisor, Rebekah and her daughter, Grace, got busy inside the fire station keeping the car owners/fire fighters/their families well hydrated and fed as they hosted a tea & cake stall – BIG THANK YOU to all who contributed to this!
The atmosphere was so wonderful, as everyone worked their socks off at this event, doing an absolutely sterling job!
We were delighted to bump into Barry, the father of one of the fire fighters - Peter, who has also been a past respite guest of the home and we were later also joined by current resident, Sheila and Activities Assistant, Joe, who also got involved with a little bit of washing and rinsing, helping to clean our very own mini bus!
Collectively, we helped to raise a whopping: -
£1128.92
All in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity: -

Huge gratitude to everyone who came along to support this amazing event – YOU ARE AMAZING!
Royal Stamp of approval...
Following on from the sad passing of Her Majesty the Queen, residents were very keen to chat and share their memories of her.
Huge thanks go to the wonderful Becky King, Admin Manager, who very kindly brought in her nan’s special collection of Royal Mail special edition stamps for the residents to look at, which have been issued throughout the Queen’s life and reign, representing all the momentous occasions she lived through.
Everyone loved looking at them and recalled their own special moments linking to The Queen.
PROUD MOMENTS...
Something exciting arrival in the mail recently...
On opening a package addressed to him, our Senior General Manager, Sohail Daniel, was very pleased to receive a special certificate from carehome.co.uk , showcasing our being in the top rated care homes in the South West of England!
Did we happen to mention that we are also rated 10 on carehome.co.uk from receiving some fantastic 5 star, reviews from people who have experienced care from us? Well, we are!
Pictured, is one VERY proud Sohail with his new certificate for the home.
WELL DONE TEAM TRINITY MANOR!!!
WORLD ALZHEIMER'S MONTH
Alzheimer’s one of the most common types of dementia and throughout September it is World Alzheimer’s month…
During this period we, as a home are focusing on how we can learn more about this disease, as well as ensure that those in our care can really live their best possible lives each and every day.
Education is definitely one of the best ways that we can face dementia in all of its forms, head on – So with that in mind, Home Services Advisor, Rebekah Goddard, has been busy making another new friend who we are hoping can help some of our residents, as well as their families, who are living with dementia.
Sally Kendall, an Admiral Nurse, who is funded by the Royal British Legion in partnership with Dementia UK, is able to help provide support and advice for anyone who has a direct link to the armed services. The support she offers is vital and starts from helping a family come to terms with a new diagnosis of dementia, all the way through someone’s journey. Sally can offer an insight into what to expect in future and help with ways to cope.
We were delighted that Sally spent some of her time recently, meeting with Rebekah and discussed some possible ways of collaborating in future.
If you have a link to the military and would like to know more about the support the Admiral nursing team give, then please call: 01823 218 443
Thank you Sally for coming to see us and a big THANK YOU for all the amazing work you do!
