Activities at Moors Manor Care Home

Jenna and all the team here at Moors Manor would like to congratulate Linda who is a Health Care Assistant here at Moors Manor as she is the August Employee of the Month. Linda got this award as she is extremely hard working and a wonderful colleague. Linda is now going on maternity leave, we wish you lots of luck and look forward to meeting your new baby very soon.

Veena asked if she was able to attend a temple as this is something that means so very much to her so we arranged a visit to the temple in Southampton and she was accompanied by Senior Carer Samikshya who came in traditional wear which Veena really loved. Veena felt more comfortable with the attire as well as they both follow the same rituals and religion.

Special rituals and puja was going on in the temple so Veena joined in the rituals and then worshipped to the different gods present in the temple after the puja. They also recieved prasad as a blessings from the official members of the temple after the puja.

After returning back Veena said it was a long drive but it was worth it as I got to visit a lovely temple and meet many Hindu people there as well.

Both Veena and Samikshya enjoyed visiting the temple and worshipping there which they regard as a very important part of life. 

Who doesn't love doing a jigsaw but also getting a little bit competitive at the same time. We had a jigsaw competition in the bistro we had teams Marjorie and Linda, Venna and Pam, and in the men's team Ivan, Geoff and Martin. The winners were Marjorie and Linda and Marjorie then went on to help the other teams as well. Everyone all enjoyed the competitive session.

Residents Veens, Rita and Pam enjoyed a trip to the local garden centre whey they got to have a good look around at the plants and pick some to be planted into the gardens here. They finished off their trip with a stop at the coffee shop to enjoy a rather large piece of cake and coffee.

Rita said it felt like being back at home coming to the garden centre as this is something that she used to always do.

Staff and residents all got involved to join in The Moors Manor Bake Off! The Bake off results the "Showstopper" cake was won by Jo, our kitchen assistant and "Best tasting" was won by Moray, our chef. Thank you to the wonderful Women's Institute in St Leonard's for being our amazing panellist.

This week's baking club we decided to make shortbread biscuits and resident Jenny was leading the team on this occasion. Everyone got involved and the finished products looked good and tasted great as well.
