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
Shadow Came to Lunch
We may not have been able to go out on trips lately and the wet weather in early March has meant our gardener Eddi has been unable to mow the back lawn. To give him a hand he asked Shadow in. The residents can watch Shadow munching on the fresh green grass coming through whilst they have their meals. He is a part of the Moreton Hill's family!
Spring Time
Spring has sprung and we have enjoyed looking out for wildlife appearing in our grounds and gardens. We also took part in a birdwatch weekend and have a kestrel nesting in high up in the courtyard.
Flower Donation
We were delighted to receive a donation of beautiful flowers from our local Stroud branch of Tesco. The residents were able to make lots of wonderful arrangements and display them around the home for everyone to enjoy.
Ace of Diamonds Magic Show
The residents were recently treated to a special show by the magician Colin Diamond. As well as tricks with hoops and loops and endless feathers and hankies, Colin entertained everyone with his balloon shapes and colours.
Residents Enjoy Exercise Classes
Exercise forms an important part of the life at Moreton Hill. Apart from the regular walks in the garden to enjoy the fresh air and spectacular views from the home, there are regular exercise classes including Better Balance, Tai Chi and ‘Oomph’ Stretch classes.
Knit & Natter Group
We have regular Knit & Natter group meets, every Wednesday afternoon. The project for this year is colourful squares to be knitted into blankets for a local charity. On this occasion our residents were joined by Lizzi and Ruby the PAT dogs who visit every week.
