Activities at Moreton Hill Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Moreton Hill Care Home
Moreton Hill's Employee of the Month for April
Eddie Langford is our winner for April's Employee of the Month. Eddie is a member of the Moreton Hill maintenance team and is primarily responsible for the beautiful gardens, but really he is Superman. People at Moreton Hill have said that he is "always willing to help, gives 100% all of the time and has a good rapport with residents."
Nothing is ever a problem and no is not an option for Eddie.
Moreton Hill Celebrates the Queen's 90th
We had an amazing afternoon celebrating the Queen's birthday here at Moreton Hill. We enjoyed some patriotically-decorated cakes, as you can see by the red, white and blue colour scheme. Sheila and Steve provided the entertainment, with a set of traditional and patriotic songs, which everyone joined in with. Roy was the king of the day as his birthday is today (22/4).
Employee of the Month - March
There were some great things said about Jenna by her colleagues. A few of the lovely things that were brought up were that she is forward thinking, always kind to residents and a genuine lovely girl that is always making the residents smile.
At The Change of the Year
At time for reflection,
Targets achieved,
New skills learnt,
Who would have thought it I would read at the Carols,
And play the piano, now I can Parlano some basic Italiano!
Concentrated effort to use both hands to mould clay,
Into shapes fit to display.
A time to read news from relatives and friends, good-exiting or sad.
Next task to enjoy replying in the Old Fashioned way
Ofa Lette-a-Day!
Who knows what 2016 will bring -
Will I be sad or sing?
Whatever-I'm happy to be healthy, happy
And here with my family near.
