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.

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
Minibus trip to Haskins
Residents here at Moors Manor always enjoy their minibus trips and this one was just as much fun. Residents went to local garden center Haskins to have a look at their beautiful Christmas displays they had, pick some plants to go into the new raised borders that we have made in the garden and then finish off the trip with tea and cake. What better way to spend an afternoon with friends and having a lovely chat.
Gents Darts Club
We have recently started a gents club in the home and they are really enjoying a good old game of darts. It is great to see the competition between them and also get better the more they practice.
We may just need to hold a competition later in the year to see who is the best here at Moors Manor.
Virtual trip to Machu Picchu
We have been enjoying virtual trips in our cinema room. Our residents travelled to Machu Picchu. It was enjoyed by all and they really loved learning about different cultures. We look forward to our next stop around the world.
Minibus trip to the local pub
Residents decided that they wanted to go to the local pub for a drink. When they were at the pub they were able to share stories with each other.
Robert mentioned how when he used to go to the pub when he was young they would pay £2 to go into a kitty and then at Christmas be given all the money to enjoy on Christmas Day.
It is always so lovely when residents reminisce and share their stories with each other.
Mount Everest Base Camp Documentary
Bibesh our Activities Co-Ordinator is always asking our residents what they would like to do and quite a few mentioned about watching documentaries on places of interest. The first documentary they all enjoyed was on a trek to Mount Everest Base Camp. Bibesh also shared about his experience in Nepal on the very same route.
The residents really enjoyed the documentary but also getting to hear about Bibesh's experience as well and look forward to watching the next one.
October Employee of the Month
Each month at Moors Manor, we like to recognise the fantastic work that our staff do and choose a winner for Employee of the Month.
October's winner is Nicole Willis who is our Community Care Lead in the home. We asked our General Manager Jenna why she choose Nicole "For being polite, helpful and being an asset to the team. Nicole comes to work with a smile on her face and gives the best she can."
Well done from all at Moors Manor.
