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
Flower Power
We have been busy planting out pots and our old later trough with brightly coloured bedding plants for everyone to enjoy when they take time out in our beautiful courtyard. Our next project is to plant up a herb garden and some more bee friendly plants.
Fish & Chip Friday
This is a meal that everyone looks forward to on a Friday. The chefs at Moreton Hill make a wonderful meal for all to enjoy and it helps make up for the fact that this year, we have been unable to do our trips to the seaside or even to our local fish and chip shop!
Fun & Exercise
With the hot summer weather, keeping everyone cool and relaxed is important. Yoga and meditation are a great way to achieve a sense of well-being and calm. Everyone taking part is encouraged to learn a few simple exercises to help keep body and soul in good shape.
The Cat Came Too!
Lots of our residents enjoy the fresh air and wonderful scenic walks we go on. Even one of our resident cats, Vinnie, enjoys a stroll. The wonderful weather has meant the farmer has been busy haymaking. It’s a good cut this year!
Welcome Back!
We were delighted to be able to start family visits again at Moreton Hill. It has been a long wait for everyone. With the sun shining and all the space we have available here, families can now visit their loved ones on a regular basis.
Getting Crafty
We have been busy painting welcome back signs for our families and also doing some ceramic and glass decoration. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to be creative. We might even sell some of our items at our next Fayre – whenever that may be!
