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
Romanian Day
The 1st of December is Romanian day, and to mark this day, the Peri General Manager and the Ac General Manager dressed up in traditional clothing and served delicious traditional Romanian food, along with traditional music and dance. All of our residents enjoyed the food and embraced the cultures.
A performance from a local school
Residents at Moreton Hill were treated to a fantastic performance from Saint Joseph's catholic school choir. The children visited our residents and performed some amazing songs, filling us all with Christmas spirit.
In return, we set up a lucky dip for the children and spoiled them with Christmas-themed chocolate lollies.
Christmas Light Switch-On
We had a fabulous time at our very own Christmas winter wonderland light switch-on, complete with snow machine. All of our residents got involved and decorated our home. Mike Gardener, a volunteer at our home, played his accordion. Mike played Christmas folk songs and carols for us to sing along to. Everyone had such a lovely time, and it really put us all in the festive spirit!
A visit from our MD
Angela Bradford MD visited Moreton Hill for the first time. Our Resident Ambassador, Moira, prepared a poem for her visit and Robert handed out a bouquet of flowers and a card from all our residents.
Harvest Festival
At the end of the month we celebrated Harvest Festival at Moreton. Our Kitchen and residents helped to make a beautiful display and Chef Stuart created a special Harvest lunch for everyone to enjoy. We were also joined by our ponies who graze on our land – Beauty and Naya and owner Otto. The ponies loved their carrots!
Visit to Wholly Gelato
We took advantage of the early autumn sunshine and drove our minibus down to Elmore, on the banks of the Severn, to one of our favourite places. Wholly Gelato. The ice cream is made on the farm from its dairy herd and is simply delicious. Our residents love checking out the different flavours of ice cream. Favourite this time was the scrumptious coconut and chocolate chip and the fruity strawberry. We highly recommend a visit if you are in the vicinity.
