Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Minibus trip to Haskins Garden Centre
This week's minibus outing had residents go to our local garden centre Haskins. Residents did a bit of shopping to choose some new plants for our garden and also bought some gluten free Easter Eggs for a couple of our residents.
Here at Moors Manor we can cater for all our residents dietary requirements and ensure everyone gets to enjoy the delicious food we serve in the home.
We finished off the trip with a stop at the coffee shop for tea and cake.
BOURNE2SING perform
We had the fantastic BOURNE2SING Male Vocal Choir come back to the home again to entertain our residents as everyone thoroughly enjoyed their performance last time. The group sang a variety of songs from classical to pop to show tunes which had everyone singing along and some pieces moving us to tears in a nice way.
Everyone had a wonderful afternoon and we look forward to BOURNE2SING coming back again.
Easter decorations and card making
Residents have been busy making decorations and cards for loved ones for Easter. Everyone got rather creative and enjoyed making something a little different and also fun for the home.
Here is to a lovely Easter weekend for everyone.
Moors Manor Spring Fair
We held our Spring Fair here in the home where we had a selection of lovely stalls all offering wonderful items for residents, their families and the wider community to purchase. We had entertainment from Nick Sellars who had everyone singing and even some dancing! The Dining team provided an afternoon tea which was enjoyed by everyone. We finished off the Spring Fair with a raffle where we raised £113 for the Rotary Club of Ringwood who were very appreciative of the amount we raised. Everyone had a wonderful time and we look forward to the next event in the home.
Minibus trip to the seaside
Residents asked if we could take them to the seaside and we did exactly that. We had a wonderful trip to Bournemouth Beach, had a walk along the promenade and took in the marvelous views and even had a look at the upside down house!
We finished our trip with a visit to the Prom Cafe and all enjoyed some tea and cake. Residents all shared memories of their trips to the beach when they were younger with their own families.
A really fun afternoon enjoyed by all and we look forward to going to the beach again when it gets a little bit warmer.
Afternoon tea and performer Steve Linne
We had the wonderful Steve Linne come into the home for our afternoon tea party and what a great party it was. Residents were singing, dancing and swaying their arms along to the many songs Steve performed for us and as you can see in the photos they all had so much fun.
Residents also got to enjoy a delicious afternoon tea prepared by our fantastic dining team and a firm favourite was the homemade scones that were still a bit warm when they came out.
