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 - Apple Pies
When residents were asked what they would like to do in Baking Club they decided apple pie, so of course what did we decide to then do in Baking Club this week apple pie. Residents were busy peeling and chopping the apples. Making the pastry rolling it out and then putting the apple filling for the pie. Residents then were able to enjoy the apple pie at supper and all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Minibus outing to Ringwood
Residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon going to Ringwood where they went too St Peter's & St Paul's Church, looked around the shops on the High Street and then finished with a hot chocolate and toasted tea cake. Jo our Activities Coordinator said that members of the public were so friendly to our residents, many stopped to say and hello and talk.
Indoor rounders game
Residents enjoyed a game of indoor rounders where they all got to enjoy the game and lots of laughter too as the ball would be flying around. These group games are a great way for our residents to have fun and also have a great chat with one another too. We look forward to the warmer weather where we can take this game outdoors.
Exercise session with Dan
Residents enjoyed having Dan back for his first exercise session of the year. Dan played a great selection of songs to get residents moving their arms and legs too and everyone said how great the session was and they were pleased to start working off those Christmas pounds!! We look forward to seeing Dan again soon in the home.
Baking Club
Residents enjoy their baking club and this week it was all about making pizza pinwheels. Residents were able to choose what toppings they put in with a selection of cheese and ham and then were able to enjoy them later in the day for supper. Jo our Activity Coordinator then asked for any other suggestions for baking club and there were quite a few options so we look forward to seeing them over the upcoming weeks.
Board games fun
Resident's had a fun morning of being rather competitive with one another over some of the classic board games. Residents were able to choose from Ludo, Snakes and Ladders and Uno! There were no clear winners but everyone all enjoyed themselves and had fun spending time together with friends.
