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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Baking Club
Residents do enjoy a bit of baking here in the home, this week's culinary delight was chocolate rice crispy cakes which had residents all get involved with the mixing, dishing up into each cake case and adding sprinkles on top to finish them off.
All the residents were reminiscing about their days when they would do this with their own families and then all got to enjoy eating them later on.
Flower Arranging
We had our wonderful volunteers again to help with flower arranging. This time residents made individual posy arrangements with a selection of flowers in pretty pink and lilac and a selection of foliage to compliment the flowers.
There was a lot of concentration to get the posy arrangements looking just right but everyone had a lovely time in our activities room and were all really pleased with what they created.
Masie's 97th Birthday
We have had more celebrations here in the home this time to celebrate Maisie's 97th Birthday. We had a party with music from Nigel Reville who sang a variety of songs for everyone to enjoy and also had a beautiful lemon cake made by the dining team which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
Happy Birthday Maisie from everyone here at Moors Manor.
Moors Manor 3rd Anniversary
Well we certainly know how to put on a party here at Moors Manor. We celebrated the homes 3rd Anniversary and what a wonderful time it has been for the home.
The home was full to the brim with residents, their families and members of the community who all came along to help us celebrate. We had entertainment from Mike Sidaway and Steve Linney who had everyone singing and dancing. The dining team served a wonderful cream tea with prosecco which went down very well for everyone too.
Here is to many more happy years at Moors Manor.
Valentines Day
We had a wonderful day celebrating Valentine's here in the home. We started off with residents making their own cards to be delivered to their loved ones and then had a wonderful afternoon with singer Angus who played a selection of love songs that had residents singing and dancing along too. All if this was enjoyed with a glass of wine and homemade cupcakes from the dining team.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
Pancake Day
We enjoyed celebrating pancake day in the home with residents starting the fun with by a little competition of how many pancakes you can flip. Our winner was Veena who was able to flip the most and as you can see in the photos there was a lot of concentration taking place.
Residents then all got to do the best thing with pancakes and that is to enjoy them with lots of different toppings to choose from. Residents favourite was the classic lemon and sugar which you really can't go wrong with.
A very fun day had by everyone.
