Activities at Moors Manor Care Home

We celebrated the lovely Eileen's birthday. Her family with residents and staff all came together for a birthday social where Eileen had a wonderful time.

Happy Birthday Eileen from all at Moors Manor.

We had our fantastic volunteers Geraldine, Dee and Adele come in to spend the morning with our residents. This time it was a morning of being creative and to do some flower arranging which the ladies did all enjoy. We are very lucky to have these lovely ladies come in to the home and we thank them all for everything they do.

In art club we wanted to create our start and finish banners ready for our sponsored walk. Residents all came together to achieve this and we even had a family member join us who was an art teacher. We are doing our sponsored walk for local cause West Moors Dementia Action Group.

Residents Kathy, Marianne, June and Liz went to Barrington Theatre to watch the show Annie which was performed by Ferndown Phoenix Musical Theatre and what a wonderful performance it was. Residents were singing along to the well-known songs and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

We look forward to going to the theatre to watch more shows and concerts over the next few months.

We had a lovely visit from Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs who came in to see the residents in the home. Residents really do love to see animals and especially dogs as many used to have their own when living at home. To have Helpful Hounds come in the home is great and as you can see in the photos this really does mean so much to the residents.

So who doesn't love to play a game which isn't just fun but also a bit of gentle exercise, coordination and concentration skills!! This games did just that and residents were doing rather well and getting each ball in the bucket so we had a couple of carers join us to make it that bit harder by moving the bucket below. Lots of laughter and fun was had, we need to see how we can challenge the residents that bit more for next time!
