Welcome to a New Member of our Care Team!

We were very pleased to welcome Cheryl Terry to the Care Team at the Manor back in November and we were interested to hear her thoughts on The Manor when compared with the Care Home she worked at previously.

It was very pleasing to hear her observations.

Cheryl is already a valued member of our team and is a very keen participant in the Magic Music Monday event which – surprisingly – takes place every Monday. This is where residents and staff sing along together whilst (for some at least) wearing wigs to help enter the spirit of the song. I am told that the favourites so far are “Yellow Submarine” and “Jailhouse Rock.” Cheryl can be seen somewhere under the wig!

Please Note: Any relatives wishing to join the Magic Music Monday event would be most welcome!

Sometimes it is the simple things that make a difference.

We have just completed a major upgrade to our upstairs bathroom in the Home. We have installed a brand new modern bath which is much easier to use.

The residents can be lifted safely into the bath much more easily thanks to the swivel seat (see picture) and the whole bath itself can be raised or lowered to help the care staff with the lifting.

This project was supported financially by The Jeffery Limmer Trust and The Skerritt Trust and we thank them both.

Happy New Year from all of us at The Manor!

We want to thank all the many people who have supported us over the last few months and to wish you and your loved-ones a very happy 2026.

From all of the Team at The Manor.

We are very pleased to confirm we are holding a Christmas Fair in the gardens of the Home. Santa will be joining us if you have any little ones who would like to say ‘hello’ to him. The date for your diary is Saturday 6th December, 10-1. We do hope you are able to join us. The event is free and open to everyone in the Radcliffe community.

Our residents will be joining in the excitement as we prepare for the Christmas Fair, and we will be supporting activities at the Home which will include wrapping prizes and presents and making Christmas decorations, as well as decorating the Christmas trees which will be both in the Manor House and in the grounds in the Pavillon. 

There will be a large marquee in the grounds and at this moment we do have room for additional stalls.  So, if you are a stallholder and this is of interest, you will find contact details below for further information. 

We would really welcome donations of any unwanted Christmas gift wrapping paper (part or full rolls or packs), outside Christmas lights (battery operated), or other Christmas decorations which you no longer need.  These can either be dropped off at The Manor in person, or we can arrange for them to be collected – contact below.

We do hope you will be able to join us!

For more information on stalls or for donations, please contact us on 0115 9110138 or via email at info@radcliffemanorhouse.co.uk

We are very proud of our magnificent gardens at the Manor and we know that they give our residents a great deal of pleasure and comfort. Many of the relatives enjoy taking their loved-ones out into the fresh air and we are hoping to be able to purchase some additional seating in the near future.

The gardens are lovely – but they do need a lot of work!

Today (18th October) we were the guest local organisation for the Community Café at the Methodist Church in Radcliffe. Much cake was cheerfully consumed! Many thanks to the church and also to the the girls from the football team we sponsor who were kind enough to help with the serving. Volunteers from the Manor House Committee were there also to help.

The funds raised will contribute to the various projects we have for the residents at the Care Home – for example the installation of a new fountain in our courtyard.
