Activities at Moors Manor Care Home

When we found out that Valerie used to do lots of painting we then spoke to her daughter and she was able to bring in some of her collection and they were amazing.

Together with Val we decided to do a mini art exhibition at our home and show her artwork to the other residents and their families. The exhibition went amazing as Val got so many compliments and admiration from the staff, visitors and also our residents who looked through the exhibition. Val also shared the story behind each painting which most of them were real life of the Poole area, the ship her father was captain of, painting of her of her father, mother and their dog in their backyard. Val was so happy to see her paintings and to reminiscence all those beautiful days.

What better way to spend an afternoon with friends than to do some flower arranging. The local Sainsbury's supermarket rang the home to advise they had some flowers they could no longer sell and would we like them for the home which of course we said yes.

The ladies all made bouquets that they then put into vases and then enjoyed them in their rooms. Rita made an extra bouquet to give to Gerda who wasn't feeling her best but the flowers certainly cheered her up a bit.

We had the wonderful Tony come in this week to perform to our residents here at Moors Manor. Tony sang a variety of songs but included some of the marvellous Frank Sinatra that had the residents singing along as well. A lovely afternoon enjoyed by us all.

What a beautiful day to celebrate a 63rd wedding anniversary! Resident John and his wife Valerie enjoyed a beautiful lunch sitting on the balcony in our memory lane and were also joined by son and grandson to mark this very special occasion.

Happy Anniversary John and Valerie from all of us here at Moors Manor.

This week was the start of some very special visitors coming along to Moors Manor, we had The Little Learners Nursery. They will be coming in to the home a couple of times each month to visit the residents and as you can see by the photos both residents and children had a wonderful time.

Children bring so much fun and happiness and residents said it was the highlight of the week for them and they look forward to seeing the children again. We are sure as the visits continue the relationships between the residents and children will grow as well and they will both be able to learn from each other.

Residents went to the local village hall to attend the Health and Wellness event that we had organised for the local community.

Residents were able to enjoy a leg and foot massage from The Healthful Mind Clinic in West Moors and thoroughly enjoyed this, so much so they all had a little nap when they got back to the home. They also got to meet with the other stall holders and then joined in the raffle where Rita won a prize as well.
