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
Afternoon flower arranging
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.
An afternoon with singer Tony
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.
Celebrating a 63rd Wedding Anniversary
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.
Visit from the Little Learners Nursery
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.
Health and Wellness Event in the community
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.
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.
