New Visitor Room for The Manor

The Manor in Exminster welcomed their first visitors to the new Visitor Room yesterday to celebrate a resident’s birthday. The positive comments we have received since offering indoor visits, have been overwhelming. We are thrilled that we can offer residents and their families a warm, cosy and private place to meet.

The Manor - Day of the dead decorating

Autumn Fun at The Manor

I can’t believe how much fun they’ve been having at The Manor of late! Day of the Dead and Halloween celebrations – don’t be alarmed by the scissors in the head – a rather too realistic fancy dress prop! Pumpkins carving, cake baking and decorating, and Trick or Treating! And plenty of arts and crafts – painting dry leaves and driftwood for Autumn hanging baskets. Wonderful!Painting pinecones and driftwood at The Manor Exeter Pumpkin decoration at The Manor Exeter

The Manor - VJ Day Cupcakes

VJ Day Celebrations at The Manor

Residents enjoyed a trip down memory lane for the VJ (Victory over Japan) Day Celebrations on the 15th August. They watched a video and played music from 1945. They also enjoyed a truth session, answering questions about how it may have affected them as children or young adults. A few of the residents admitted to having American boyfriends and other shared such funny stories, they all in hoots of laughter! A lovely tea was served and the dining room beautifully decorated for the occasion.
