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
Bingo time
Eyes Down!! It's Bingo time! Residents had a fun afternoon this week enjoying a couple of games of bingo and all were enjoying shouting out clickety click and legs eleven when they came up. Veena, Betty, Liz and Barry all were worthy winners and were very happy with their prizes that they won.
Gardening club
Residents have been keeping an eye on the vegetables we had planted and this week Lynda and Rita enjoyed harvesting the produce. We had very large radishes and runner beans. Our chef Boris came outside to see what we had and also gave tips to the ladies on how to chop the veg as well.
We look forward to seeing what the kitchen team create with our produce.
Scrabble with Steve
Today it was all about getting everyone's thinking caps working!! We had Steve come to the home today with his giant scrabble board for residents to enjoy this classic game. There were lot's of good words being created with the letters that they had and some earning triple points as well.
We always enjoy our visits with Steve and look forward to him coming again soon.
Love to Move class with Katie
We had the lovely Katie from Love to Move Dorset here for one of her seated exercise classes. Residents really enjoy doing gentle exercise and in a few photos they were all smiling as well. Exercise is good for the body and mine and we like to keep our residents as active as we can here. We look forward to Katie coming in again soon.
Ivan's 90th Birthday
We had a very special day here in the home as our lovely Ivan celebrated his 90th Birthday. We held an afternoon tea party where his family and friends also joined us for the celebrations. The dining team made scones with jam and cream and a rather spectacular Victoria sandwich which were enjoyed by everyone. For entertainment we had the wonderful Bournemouth Concert Brass who played a selection of songs which had everyone singing and tapping their toes along too.
Happy 90th Birthday Ivan from everyone here at Moors Manor.
Summer Fair
Well the weather may not have been on our side but that did not dampen the fun we had at our Summer Fair. We had fantastic entertainment from Bee Chumley Vocalist and Mark Bussell who both performed at the home for the first time and what wonderful performances they both provided. We then had Mr Pop's Balloons who worked the rooms creating some wonderful displays from animals, flowers and even the little mermaid, again this was the first time he came to the home and we will definitely have him come back to us. We had a variety of stalls including Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs which we also held a raffle and raised money for this wonderful charity. Our dining team did an amazing job and served a giant paella for everyone to enjoy as well.
A fantastic afternoon enjoyed by residents, family members and the wider community. Thank you all for coming along.
