Activities at Moors Manor Care Home

Earlier this week residents enjoyed a new seated exercise class with Dan. Dan had all the residents doing gentle exercise and really getting their coordination going. Dan played upbeat music which also had everyone singing along too as well.

Residents really enjoyed this new class and we look forward to Dan coming in again soon.

Our ladies have been enjoying our knitting club in the home. It has given everyone the chance to do a hobby that they really enjoy, socialise and also make wonderful items as well. The ladies all shared stories of their knitting memories from childhood to adult life, it was wonderful to hear the many different stories and learn more about each other.

Residents enjoyed an afternoon of grins with live music performance from the fantastic Steve Linn. Steve performed a selection of classic hits from Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Cliff Richard and many more.

Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the singer performed their finale song Sweet Caroline which had everyone singing and dancing along. The hospitality team at the home also provided a spread of sweet treats for guests to enjoy during the show.

One resident said “I haven’t heard some of these songs in many years. The classics never go out of style!”

We look forward to Steve performing again very soon.

Residents on our memory lane had a wonderful afternoon of cocktails and mocktails on their balcony looking out onto the amazing Avon Heath Country Park. The sun was shining and it was a lovely social afternoon for everyone to enjoy a tipple while also sharing stories and getting to know each other that little bit more.

Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together in the home to enjoy a Cheese and Prosecco afternoon that we held in the home’s grounds.

The hospitality team at Moors Manor served a selection of delicious cheeses, which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.

Guests included friends and family to the residents and staff at the home, and the local community who all attended the event. The team at the home also invited local performer Mark Busell who performed a range of classical and pop hits, which many of the guests sang along to.

Resident, Marianne, said, “I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon surrounded by lots of great people. Thankfully the weather held out until we finished. Staff did a great job, not just on the day, but organising the event and getting everyone together.”

Gemma Chalkley, General Manager at the home, said: “Staff at Moors Manor are dedicated to making sure that the home is a hub of the local community, and this event, along with all their hard work, has definitely paid off. It was a resounding success!”

Residents enjoyed an afternoon together being rather creative with the designs we got from our adult colouring books. Residents found the afternoon very relaxing and therapeutic and also enjoyed having a lovely catch up to find out more about each other as we have had quite a few new residents move into the home.
