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
Pancake Day and St Davids Day
We celebrated pancake day in the dining room with a variety of toppings to try on our freshly cooked pancakes - the top choice was the traditionally lemon and sugar of course. We also celebrated St David's Day today, we discussed some facts about the patron Saint of Wales and decorated the home with Daffodils. We also have a sea of daffodils just flowering at the front of the home which was perfect for today.
Giant Scrabble
We welcomed Steve to the home with his giant scrabble board, we all tested our brains coming up with words to try and win. A rematch is booked in for next month!
Birthday Celebrations
Friday 18th February saw us host our 1st birthday celebrations.
Being a Friday it had to be Fish and Chips, we welcomed along Lime Coast Catering to serve all the residents and staff a proper fish and chip lunch. We followed this with quizzes and games and of course a lovely birthday cake made by our wonderful chefs.
Waitangi Day
We celebrated Waitangi Day by making bunting, having a traditional meal, watching a documentary and looking through some lovely pictures sent in by relatives of one of our residents. It was a lovely day and we are talking about where to virtually visit next?
Scrabble Match
Our residents have been teaching Sam our activities coordinator the rules of Scrabble. A competitive match took place with some unusual words.
Big Bird Watch
We went outside as the weather was so lovely to take part in the Big Garden Bird watch this weekend.
