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
Staff festive Bake Off
We had a bit of fun in the home this week with a "Staff Festive Bake Off" we had shortbread, truffles, mince pies and mince tart, florentines, millionaire shortbread and a puff pastry Christmas Tree all enter.
Residents were our judges and were looking for best taste and best looking. They enjoyed all the entries and found it hard to choose, but our winner was Karina who made lovely chocolate truffles which won in both categories.
Helpful Hounds festive visit
We had Helpful Hounds come into the home for pet therapy for our residents and they thought they would all dress for the festive season as well.
Our residents really do enjoy dogs coming into the home, it always brings a smile to everyone's faces. We do look forward to seeing them again in the New Year.
All Saints Church Service
We welcomed All Saints St Leonard's & St Ives Church to the home to do a church service for our residents. Residents in the home were wanting the chance to be able to follow their religious beliefs and were able to do this. It was enjoyed by everyone that attended and we look forward to welcoming them again into the home.
The Ashley Bells perform in the home
We had the wonderful "Ashley Bells" from the Ashley Heath Women's Institute group come into the home for a carol concert. They performed a selection of Christmas songs and carols for residents, family members and our local community to join in with.
Everyone also enjoyed our famous mince pies and mulled wine prepared by our brilliant kitchen team. A wonderful afternoon was enjoyed by everyone.
Minibus festive outing to Haskins Garden Centre
Residents enjoyed a minibus outing to Haskins Garden Centre to look at the wonderful Christmas displays and admire the hard work that has gone into decorating the rather large Christmas Trees they had on display.
Rita, Marianne and Pat then finished off the trip with a bit of tea and cake. A lovely afternoon was enjoyed by them all.
Born to Sing Male Vocal Choir
We had the wonderful Born to Sing Male Vocal Choir perform in the home for us and it is always so lovely to have them performing here in the home.
They performed a selection of songs from the musicals, hymns to Christmas carols which had everyone singing along and some even had us shedding a little tear as we were so moved by their performance.
We can't wait to have Born to Sing come back and perform for us again.
