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
Baking club for the Barchester Charitable Foundation fundraiser.
Residents have been busy making and decorating cakes ready for our cake sale tomorrow where we will be raising money for the Barchester Charitable Foundation.
Residents had a great sense of pride in making and decorating the cakes as they are all happy to be able to help for such a worthy cause.
Garden fun at Moors Manor
A bit of wind doesn't stop our residents from doing a bit of gardening and enjoying walks. Our gardening club had residents finishing the planting of the plants we had been growing in the greenhouse, where we hope in our raised borders they will continue to grow and flourish. We have also been planting up hanging baskets with our memory lane residents really enjoyed to do and these are now positioned at our main front entrance. Resident Penny enjoys going for walks around the garden and as you can see in the picture she rather likes this. Gardening and walks is a great way of getting some fresh air and socialising with friends.
Liz's Birthday
Over the Bank Holiday weekend we had another birthday in the home, this time it was the wonderful Liz. We made sure Liz had a very special day and held her a birthday party and all enjoyed tea and homemade birthday cake.
Happy birthday Liz from all at Moors Manor.
Balloon tennis with our volunteers
We had our lovely volunteers Geraldine, Adele and Dee come in to help and support our residents with our daily activities in the home. This time we thought we would have a bit of fun and play balloon tennis. It was great fun for everyone but also a really good way to have a bit of exercise and keep active.
We really do appreciate the hard work our volunteers do for us all here in the home thank you.
Minibus outing to Aunt Fannys
We had a wonderful bus trip to Aunt Fannys Farm Shop & Café in Wimborne. The sun was shining and inside there must have been over 200 different tea pots all hanging in the ceiling which we all looked at and tried to find any similar to what we had in our own homes. We were able to enjoy looking at the beautiful plants they had and then finished off the trip with tea and cake.
We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back again to visit.
Gardening club
In this week’s gardening club we made the most of the glorious sunshine to get our seedlings out of our greenhouse and into the ground to start growing stronger, we planted, butternut squash, sunflowers and wild flower seeds.
We look forward to seeing them grow and bloom.
