Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
Walk and talk in the garden on a sunny day
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than to get wrapped up and go outside to get some fresh air. Residents had the opportunity to talk with each other but also have a walk around our garden as well. Residents also shared their gardening stories and tips on how to keep our gardens looking as good as they do.
Avril from Forever Living
Earlier in the week we had Avril from Forever Living with her Aloe Vera products for residents and family members to try. We had a wonderful afternoon finding out the benefits of Aloe Vera and also sampling the many skin care, drinks and products that were on display.
Burn's Night Celebrations
We held a wonderful lunch in honour of Robert Burns. We had local piper from Ringwood Pipe Band to play for when we brought in the haggis.
Burns Night is always a fantastic event, it's so important to continue these traditions. Our residents enjoyed a hearty meal of Scottish Broth, Haggis with neeps and tatties all prepared by our fantastic kitchen team.
Jean's special birthday celebrations
We helped Jean celebrate her 80th birthday here in the home. Jean and her family with residents and staff in the home had a wonderful afternoon enjoying the tea party that we hosted to help celebrate Jean's special birthday.
Happy Birthday Jean from all of us here at Moors Manor.
Winter Skin Care Event
We held a winter skincare event in the home with Natural Skin by Lynne. As it's the start of the year and we all want to look after ourselves, what better way than to have a lovely afternoon pampering yourself and also enjoying a cup of tea and cake on the side as well.
Steve performs for Open Day.
We had the wonderful Steve come into the home on Saturday for our Open Day to perform to the residents and visitors that came in. He sang a selection of songs from pop, musicals and old time sing-a-longs. He had everyone singing along and dancing in their seats and as you can see the residents all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We look forward to Steve coming in again for the homes birthday party next month.
