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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
This weeks art class
Our weekly art class is getting very popular in the activities room. Everyone all enjoyed the adult colouring session and created some lovely art to then have in their rooms. Art can be really relaxing and therapeutic as well but you can also see in some of the photos the concentration as well.
Stretch your mind!
It's so important to keep the mind active and what better way to do this than with a word search. Residents all had their thinking caps on and Pam found the most with 14 different words.
Noughts and crosses competition
Who doesn't love a game of noughts and crosses especially when you get rather competitive as well. Resident Pam was the overall winner with Rita a close second. We do love playing board games as it brings lots of fun and laughter as well.
Employee of the month - August
Jenna and all the team here at Moors Manor would like to congratulate Linda who is a Health Care Assistant here at Moors Manor as she is the August Employee of the Month. Linda got this award as she is extremely hard working and a wonderful colleague. Linda is now going on maternity leave, we wish you lots of luck and look forward to meeting your new baby very soon.
Veena's trip to the local temple
Veena asked if she was able to attend a temple as this is something that means so very much to her so we arranged a visit to the temple in Southampton and she was accompanied by Senior Carer Samikshya who came in traditional wear which Veena really loved. Veena felt more comfortable with the attire as well as they both follow the same rituals and religion.
Special rituals and puja was going on in the temple so Veena joined in the rituals and then worshipped to the different gods present in the temple after the puja. They also recieved prasad as a blessings from the official members of the temple after the puja.
After returning back Veena said it was a long drive but it was worth it as I got to visit a lovely temple and meet many Hindu people there as well.
Both Veena and Samikshya enjoyed visiting the temple and worshipping there which they regard as a very important part of life.
Jigsaw competition
Who doesn't love doing a jigsaw but also getting a little bit competitive at the same time. We had a jigsaw competition in the bistro we had teams Marjorie and Linda, Venna and Pam, and in the men's team Ivan, Geoff and Martin. The winners were Marjorie and Linda and Marjorie then went on to help the other teams as well. Everyone all enjoyed the competitive session.
