Activities

Life at Oadby Manor is about more than care, it’s about living well, every day. Our activities programme is thoughtfully created to reflect the interests, abilities, and stories of our residents. Whether it’s enjoying time together in a group setting or relaxing with a favourite pastime, there’s always something meaningful to take part in.

Our Lifestyles Coordinators work closely with each resident to shape an experience that feels personal and rewarding. From creative projects and gentle movement, every day brings opportunities for joy, connection, and purpose.
