Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Baking Club - Strawberry Cheesecake
This week’s baking club had residents making individual strawberry cheesecakes. Residents were all chopping the strawberries, crushing the biscuits to form the base and making the cream cheese topping. Residents enjoyed making them and then later on at supper had the best bit of enjoying them to eat!! We have lots of resident, staff and family involvement in our baking clubs and we look forward to seeing what is made next time.
Yoga with Rosemary
Residents enjoyed their weekly seated yoga class with Rosemary. Rosemary was able to have all residents stretching, breathing and feeling a sense of calm and wellness. Residents are so keen to have their different exercise classes, and as the saying goes "If you don't use it, you will lose it" which we are keen to promote here in the home.
Love to Move exercise class
Residents had their weekly exercise class and this week we had the lovely Katie from Love to Move Dorset. Katie had everyone moving, using their dexterity skills and also getting their thinking caps going for a very enjoyable and fun morning. We look forward to Katie's next visit in a couple of weeks’ time.
Minibus outing to Ringwood
Residents June, Marianne, Sheila and Linda enjoyed a minibus outing to Ringwood to have a look around the shops. A few of the ladies bought some new books to enjoy reading and then finished off the trip enjoying hot drinks and cake in a local café. The ladies all had a lovely time and were planning their next shopping trip!!
Baking Club
This week's baking club had residents making the savoury treat "Cheese Straws" Residents all got involved with the various stages of making these with rolling out the pastry, adding the cheese filling and then making into the twists. Everyone was able to enjoy these later on in the day and all enjoyed them very much.
Minibus outing to Moors Valley Country Park
Residents Marianne, Rita and Alan had an enjoyable minibus outing to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest They all enjoyed a rather chilly walk, getting lots of fresh air and exploring the grounds. Afterwards they all went into the café for a much needed hot chocolate and cake to warm up. We look forward to coming back especially when the weather gets warmer and sunnier to see all the wild flowers grow.
