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
This week's baking club had residents making the savoury treat "Cheese Straws" Residents all got involved with the various stages of making these with rolling out the pastry, adding the cheese filling and then making into the twists. Everyone was able to enjoy these later on in the day and all enjoyed them very much.
Minibus outing to Moors Valley Country Park
Residents Marianne, Rita and Alan had an enjoyable minibus outing to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest They all enjoyed a rather chilly walk, getting lots of fresh air and exploring the grounds. Afterwards they all went into the café for a much needed hot chocolate and cake to warm up. We look forward to coming back especially when the weather gets warmer and sunnier to see all the wild flowers grow.
Minibus outing to Aunt Fannys
Residents Marjorie, Olive and Daisy enjoyed a minibus outing to Aunt Fannys Farm Shop & Café where they all enjoyed a cup of tea and lots of lovely homemade cakes. The ladies also admired all of the wonderful tea pots that were hanging from the ceiling and many reminded them of the ones they used to have themselves.
Game of Croquet
The weather may not be quite warm enough but that didn't stop us playing a game of croquet indoors. Our resident Rita, June, Marianne, Veena, Christine and Eileen all had a fun afternoon playing this game and getting a little competitive whilst playing this. Don't worry amongst the competition they all managed to enjoy themselves and had lots of laughter as well.
Valentine's Day preparations
With Valentine’s Day only being a few days away in art club this week residents enjoyed making their own cards to give to their loved ones. Was an opportunity for everyone to be creative with the paints and make something to show the meaning of love to them. As always it was an opportunity for many to talk about the special people in their lives and bring back lots of memories.
