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
Christmas craft session
We had the lovely Lexy back from Made By Me Craft Parties for her craft session here in the home. Residents were given pine cones and then decorated them into Christmas Trees. There was lots of concentration taking place and the finished results were great.
We will look forward to hanging these onto the Christmas Tree when we put this up in the home.
Remembrance Sunday in the home
Residents and staff had a very lovely and emotional morning as they paid their respects to all of those soldiers who have represented our country. Everyone was able to lay a poppy in our garden of remembrance and we also observed the two minute silence. Afterwards Senior Carer Caroline read the famous poem 'In Flanders Fields' which was very moving.
Helpful Hounds visit
Residents here always enjoy having visitors come to the home but especially the furry kind. We had the Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs Raffi and Hobi come to see everyone and as you can see in the photos they brought so many smiles and happiness to all.
Baking Club for Fireworks night
You will have seen the photos from our Fireworks night, but before the fireworks went off residents were busy making chocolate apples with sprinkles for everyone to enjoy. Residents had fun making these and were able to eat them later that evening.
Fireworks Night at Moors Manor
We held our fireworks night in the home and what a lovely evening it was. We had residents, their families and members of the community all come along to watch the wonderful display. The kitchen team all worked hard to provide the marvellous chilli and hot dogs which everyone enjoyed. Here are just a few of the photos but we will need to see if we can go even bigger for next year!
Minibus outing to Stewarts Garden Centre
We decided to go to Stewarts Garde Centre in Wimborne to see the marvellous Christmas displays they had in the store. Betty, Eileen, Liz and Sheila had a wonderful afternoon looking at everything and Eileen decided to bring a little robin back with her as well. We finished off the outing with what we always do best having a cup of tea and cake.
We got lots of ideas for our own decorations here in the home and look forward to putting them up in a few weeks’ time.
