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
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!
Families Send Messages to their Loved Ones
Being in lockdown doesn’t mean friends and families can’t connect with each other. Lots of us have been using Skype, sending letters and postcards or making videos to be enjoyed. Here at Moreton we have set up a screen in our reception area for our residents to enjoy all the messages, films and photos sent in.
Exercise Class
Our regular exercise classes are always popular and are run a couple of times a week in different parts of our home. Here is Daney, our Manager, giving it her all and having a good work out!
VE Day Celebrations
The sun shone and we had a wonderful day celebrating the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. Three of our residents were based in India at the end of WW2. We decorated our beautiful courtyards with bunting and flags, our chef conjured up some war time food, we sang songs and had a lovely tea party in the garden.
The local community group in Stonehouse that had planned the town’s celebrations sent us a box of goodies of food and drink as well as some fantastic knitted bunting. Thank you Wendy and our Stonehouse friends.
