Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Cocktails in memory lane
Residents on our memory lane had a wonderful afternoon of cocktails and mocktails on their balcony looking out onto the amazing Avon Heath Country Park. The sun was shining and it was a lovely social afternoon for everyone to enjoy a tipple while also sharing stories and getting to know each other that little bit more.
Cheese and Prosecco Afternoon
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together in the home to enjoy a Cheese and Prosecco afternoon that we held in the home’s grounds.
The hospitality team at Moors Manor served a selection of delicious cheeses, which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.
Guests included friends and family to the residents and staff at the home, and the local community who all attended the event. The team at the home also invited local performer Mark Busell who performed a range of classical and pop hits, which many of the guests sang along to.
Resident, Marianne, said, “I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon surrounded by lots of great people. Thankfully the weather held out until we finished. Staff did a great job, not just on the day, but organising the event and getting everyone together.”
Gemma Chalkley, General Manager at the home, said: “Staff at Moors Manor are dedicated to making sure that the home is a hub of the local community, and this event, along with all their hard work, has definitely paid off. It was a resounding success!”
Art club.
Residents enjoyed an afternoon together being rather creative with the designs we got from our adult colouring books. Residents found the afternoon very relaxing and therapeutic and also enjoyed having a lovely catch up to find out more about each other as we have had quite a few new residents move into the home.
Bingo time
Eyes Down!! It's Bingo time! Residents had a fun afternoon this week enjoying a couple of games of bingo and all were enjoying shouting out clickety click and legs eleven when they came up. Veena, Betty, Liz and Barry all were worthy winners and were very happy with their prizes that they won.
Gardening club
Residents have been keeping an eye on the vegetables we had planted and this week Lynda and Rita enjoyed harvesting the produce. We had very large radishes and runner beans. Our chef Boris came outside to see what we had and also gave tips to the ladies on how to chop the veg as well.
We look forward to seeing what the kitchen team create with our produce.
Scrabble with Steve
Today it was all about getting everyone's thinking caps working!! We had Steve come to the home today with his giant scrabble board for residents to enjoy this classic game. There were lot's of good words being created with the letters that they had and some earning triple points as well.
We always enjoy our visits with Steve and look forward to him coming again soon.
