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.
Jo Henderson
Hi, my name is Jo Henderson and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Moors Manor.
I am looking forward to bringing my creative side to the home as I was previously a florist and baker and look forward to us making lots of lovely treats for us all to enjoy.
When at home Jo is a mother to two wonderful daughters and also a pet mum to labrador Marley.
I cannot wait to welcome our residents into their wonderful new home and help to bring smiles, joy and laughter to each day.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Christmas Party
We held a Christmas party, there was a delicious buffet, party games and a very competitive Guess the Christmas Carol quiz.
Movie Day
The team gave the residents a red carpet experience by dressing up as characters from their favourite movies and walking the red carpet. Photo's were taken by the paparazzi and fans.
This was followed by Hollywood level entertainment courtesy of Paul Hammond and some lovely canapes prepared by our wonderful chef.

We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Steve Wilkes from unilever for an exciting immersive Christmas experience.
Our residents were welcomed with chocolate treats as Paul and Steve took them on an exciting chocolate truffle making and biscuit decorating journey.

Following on from our wreath making masterclass, we gave it a go ourselves and are very happy with our results
Elf Day
Elf Day was created to sprinkle some festive cheer on fundraising towards finding a cure for dementia, launched by the Alzheimer’s Society, a charity we are very happy to support.
