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
Andy performs with his accordion
We had the very talented Andy back with his accordion to entertain the residents here in the home. He played a variety of pieces from all around the world which took us on a wonderful journey. We had lots of singing and dancing and was so much fun for everyone.
Arts and Crafts group
In this week’s art group residents stared making props for our staff pantomime that we will be performing on Christmas Eve. We needed crowns and signs for the audience to respond too. With making these props it has got everyone really looking forward to seeing the production of "Cinderella" and also had everyone talking about their memories of going to the pantomime with their families.
Baking Club
This week's baking club had residents making delicious cheese and onion pastries and vegetarian sausage rolls. Lots of chopping, grating and laughter took place to create these lovely treats for everyone to enjoy.
Caring Canines come and visit
We had the pleasure of Sky who is from Caring Canines come to the home to visit the residents. Sky brought lots of pleasure to our residents bringing back memories of their pets, telling stories, bringing smiles and laughter.
The Curiosity Case
We had Clare from The Curiosity Case come to the home with her case and the theme this time was "Film and TV". Residents were able to look through all the items which then had everyone reminisce over their favourite films and TV shows. A wonderful morning was enjoyed by everyone and we look forward to Clare coming in again very soon.
Born to Sing performance
Today we had the wonderful Born to Sing perform to the residents and what a fantastic afternoon it was! They performed a selection of songs from classical, musicals and pop which has residents all singing along too. We look forward to when Born to Sing perform again in the home.
