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.

Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
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.
Nutrition and Hydration Week
Throughout the week we have been celebrating Nutrition and Hydration Week and have enjoyed something different each day from breakfast social, cheese and wine, afternoon tea, fruit skewers, cocktails and mocktails.
Residents have enjoyed trying out different foods and drinks and enjoyed socialising as well.
Minibus trip to Burley in the New Forest
What better way to spend a sunny day then to go out in our lovely minibus. Residents were asked where they would like to go and they said that they wanted to drive around the beautiful New Forest. We organised the trip for them and also enjoyed tea and cake at the team rooms in Burley.
It was a lovely morning out and we look forward to more outings to see the local hot spots in the area.
Meet the Manager Cheese and Wine Evening
We held a Meet the Manager Cheese and Wine evening to introduce our new manager Gemma to our resident family members as well as businesses in the local area. Everyone was able to talk to Gemma and the team to find out more about Gemma who was previously Deputy Manager here and also the home. It was a very relaxed evening with lovely refreshments that everyone was able to enjoy.
