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
103rd Birthday Celebrations!!!!
We were absolutely delighted to enable one very special resident here at Trinity Manor, to celebrate a VERY wonderful numbered birthday recently…
The gorgeous Doris today turned a very spritely, 103 years young!!!!
Helping her to celebrate, were her wonderful family, who we helped to plot and scheme some top secret birthday plans with, in order to make her birthday extra special.
Taking over our beautiful summer lounge, the Trinity Manor team got to work decorating with a stunning balloon arch – well done, Becky, Rebekah & Elizabeth for blowing them all up, whilst Vicky from the housekeeping team gave everywhere an extra special birthday spruce up and all in time for her mini surprise afternoon tea. A Brilliant team effort!
Spending the afternoon with close family, they enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea which came all the way from Bettys Harrogate which was ordered especially for Doris as a gift from the family, as they know how much she has enjoyed their cakes and treats in the past!
What is particularly nice is that there was FOUR generations all together – Granddaughter Charlotte who resides in Australia (sadly, could not be here), but did manage a trip to see Doris last month, which we captured on camera at our recent Trinity Café.
Happy, happy birthday Doris - We hope you enjoyed your special day and were thoroughly spoiled!
NB. We just spotted that Betty's Tea room was first opened in the year of Doris' birth - 103 years ago!!!!
Yummy Crumble...
A few days ago we told you about how one of our residents helped us to pick some delicious, ripe plums…
Upon leaving the picked fruit in the capable hands of our Chef, Louise, she really came up trumps!
Take a look at the homemade plum crumble that she made for pudding recently, which everyone enjoyed!!!
Thank you Louise! Everyone really appreciated this delicious home grown, home baked treat.
Let’s all hope that more plums are forthcoming!
Refreshing Iced Tea
REFRESHING ICED TEA
Up on Memory Lane recently, some of our residents got involved with helping to make everyone in the home some delicious, cooling iced tea…
Working together to collect and pick the leaves off the mint, and then helping to put ice cubes into the jugs and mix in the cool iced tea, everyone was surprised how lovely it tasted – Many never actually having iced tea before.
The tea was then distributed to all who wanted to try it in the home, including staff! (Which they were most grateful for…)
Not a bad way to stay refreshed and hydrated in this lovely warm weather.
Thank you to all involved, you have done a fantastic job and it has been MUCH appreciated by us all!
'Go Fish!'
What a fun afternoon some of our residents had recently…
Following on from the hairdresser’s visits earlier in the day, some of our lovely ladies enjoyed a game or two of ‘Go Fish!’, which was instigated by Activities Assistant Jo, much to everyone's delight!
There was much laughter and giggling as they played in the café, seemingly loving every moment!
Move over Little Jack Horner!
'He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum...'
With that old fashioned nursery rhyme in mind, one of our eagle-eyed residents recently spotted some plums that were ripe and ready for picking, here in our Trinity Manor garden!
So armed with a bowl, off we went into the garden, where resident, Sheila, did a marvellous job harvesting them all for everyone to enjoy.
We have now taken them into the kitchen for the Chef to conjour up something delicious with them!
A Garden Full of Colour!
If you haven’t stopped by the garden here at Trinity Manor, you are in for a treat!
The colours are so vibrant and cheerful compared with a few years ago when our gardens were very new…
Getting ever more established, there was lots of bulbs planted by the residents which have now grown into a stunning display of gladioli and even some incredible flowers planted by the then Mayor of Sherborne, Anne Hall (Anne, they really do look wonderful!) are all out in full bloom.
We urge you to take a look around at some of the beautiful colours outside our home!
