Activities at Moreton Hill Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Moreton Hill Care Home
Stunning Hair Cuts
The team at Moreton Hill care for our residents in so many ways, the positive of the last year is the recognition care workers have received. One of our team cut and styled Nancy's hair, she looks stunning and she was delighted with the end result.
Array of Colour at Moreton Hill
The Moreton Hill residents have been working hard in the grounds and court yard gardens adding an array of colour. Our unique location means there is so much to appreciate as you step outside with the stunning views, extensive grounds and visiting ponies. We know our residents are really looking forward to sitting outside with their families in the warmer months ahead.
Sun and Smiles
As the clocks changed the sun came out and although blustery Penny and Evelyn enjoyed some fresh air and the stunning views from the terrace. It was wonderful to see them enjoying the opportunity as well as having a giggle.
New Magic Table
Moreton Hill has a Memory Lane Community for those living with dementia. The community has a range of resources designed to increase physical and social interactions. We are delighted to now have a magic table. It is portable and interactive, providing residents with a selection of games, music, poetry, quizzes and sensory experiences in a group environment or in the comfort of a bedroom or quiet space.
It is proving to be a popular activity, it is fun, but also has been proven to have a very positive effect on those living with dementia. The interactive light projected games offer sensory stimulation, relaxation and reminiscence. Barchester's Life Enrichment Program offers all residents a meaningful person centered range of group and individual activities and events.
Breakfast Delivery from Forest Green Rovers
Residents and staff at Moreton Hill had a very special delivery. David Drew, former local MP arrived with a special vegan breakfast prepared by Forest Green Rovers Football Club.
As part of their "Keep in touch with the community program" Forest Green have delivered all-vegan breakfasts around the area and we were lucky enough to be one of the recipients.
Each pot contained delicious granola, fresh fruit and yoghurt, everyone said how tasty this was and were very grateful for such a kind delivery.
