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.
Jo Henderson
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
Marjorie and Jean enjoy visiting St Leonard's Fair on Sunday
Despite the rain, we had a fantastic day at St Leonard's Village hall fair. Victoria ran the tombola to help the committee and residents Marjorie and Jean enjoyed the games, stalls and of course tea and cake.
Planting sunflowers in the sunshine
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed planting our sunflower seeds this week. Each has a named pot so they can watch whose grows quickest. It was lovely to see smiles and laughter.
Tour de Barchester
We were delighted with an unexpected visit from the Tour de Barchester Cycle ride visited Moors Manor this morning. They were very grateful for the Lemon drizzle and cup cakes before heading off on the next leg of their incredible journey cycling throughout the South over four long days to raise money for the Barchester Foundation.

Employee of the month for May 2023
A huge congratulations to Bibesh, our Activities Coordinator for winning Employee of the month (May). Bibesh has only been with us for a few months and has made a huge impact on the lives of our residents already. He recently did the impossible and found the very car that resident Lloyd had owned some 40 years previously. They were reunited and it was an amazing day that meant the world to Lloyd. Thank you so much for being enthusiastic, caring and brilliant.
