Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
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.
Jo Henderson
Hi, my name is Jo Henderson and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Moors Manor.
I am looking forward to bringing my creative side to the home as I was previously a florist and baker and look forward to us making lots of lovely treats for us all to enjoy.
When at home Jo is a mother to two wonderful daughters and also a pet mum to labrador Marley.
I cannot wait to welcome our residents into their wonderful new home and help to bring smiles, joy and laughter to each day.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Bournemouth Christmas Market
Residents went to "Bournemouth Christmas Market" and were able to admire all the beautiful displays and lights throughout the gardens. We even managed a walk to the beach and finish off with a much needed hot drink and cake! Everyone got into the Christmas spirit and all had an amazing time.
Salisbury Christmas Market
Residents enjoyed a lovely trip to Salisbury Christmas Market. They all were able to have a look at the handmade crafts and Christmas items that were for sale. As always we couldn't not take advantage of the beautiful star to have our photo taken with. A lovely trip our and all the ladies came away feeling very Christmassy.
Christmas table centre making
Residents have been busy making Christmas table centres ready for the big day! Everyone has been able to be creative with using lots of different foliage's and then adding those Christmas touches with ribbons and fur cones. I am sure you will all agree these will look lovely on the tables.
Helpful Hounds festive visit
We had our furry friends Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs come to visit our residents for one final time this year. Raffi was on hand to get lots of attention from everyone but to also bring lots of smiles and enjoyment too. We really do appreciate the Helpful Hounds coming to visit our residents, many had their own pets at home so we can bring that enjoyment to them here.
Christmas Fete
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at the home to enjoy our wonderful Christmas Fete.
There were all kinds of stalls on offer manned by staff, and lots of local stall holders came along to sell their wares too. There were delicious cakes, lovely craft items, skincare and Christmas Cards the list goes on! We also had wonderful entertainment from Nigel Revill - Lone Reveller Music who performed many of the Christmas Classics.
The team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home. There was a fantastic atmosphere and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The Ashley Bells perform in the home
We love it when we have local choirs come to the home and this week we had the 'Ashley Belles' from the local Women's Institute who performed a selection of songs and carols which had everyone singing along. The Ashley Belles have performed in the home many times and we love having them come in and we look forward to them coming in again in the New Year.
