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
Christmas Light Switch On.
We started the homes Countdown to Christmas and what better to start this than with the Christmas Lights switch on.
Residents and their families all came along to see the big reveal and enjoyed the afternoon with a festive quiz, sing-along, mulled wine and homemade mince pies which were a very big hit.
Keep an eye on here for lot's more wonderful Christmas activities happening in the home.
Gardening club
We recently purchased some new raised borders that we have built for the garden so that residents are able to do some gardening in the home.
Here we see Jenny, Jean, Robert and Val all join in and plant the plants in the borders. We look forward to watching them grow over these next few months.
Paul Spencer sings to our residents
We had entertainer Paul come in to sing to the residents. He did a selection of songs from from lot's of different genres and had everyone clapping, tapping their toes and some even got up to dance.
We do love having musical performers in the home and we look forward to Paul's next visit.
Minibus trip to Haskins
Residents here at Moors Manor always enjoy their minibus trips and this one was just as much fun. Residents went to local garden center Haskins to have a look at their beautiful Christmas displays they had, pick some plants to go into the new raised borders that we have made in the garden and then finish off the trip with tea and cake. What better way to spend an afternoon with friends and having a lovely chat.
Gents Darts Club
We have recently started a gents club in the home and they are really enjoying a good old game of darts. It is great to see the competition between them and also get better the more they practice.
We may just need to hold a competition later in the year to see who is the best here at Moors Manor.
Virtual trip to Machu Picchu
We have been enjoying virtual trips in our cinema room. Our residents travelled to Machu Picchu. It was enjoyed by all and they really loved learning about different cultures. We look forward to our next stop around the world.
