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.

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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Moors Manor Autumn Fair
Our Autumn Fair at Moors Manor Care Home was a great success. It was fantastic to see so many of our friends from our local community group's attend too. Our residents had a fabulous time. Thank you to all our stall holders and for all the wonderful products on display.
The Little Learners Visit to the home
We had some very visitors again this week we had the children from The Little Learners Nursery. This was their second visit into the home and there was lots of laughter and interaction with one another. We look forward to their next visit into the home.
Minibus outing to the New Forest
We are very lucky to live so close to the New Forest, so we thought we would have a trip out in the minibus to see the famous horses and enjoy the countryside as well. We then finished off the journey with a visit to a local cafe where we enjoyed some tea and lovely cake.
Cheese and wine evening
Who doesn't love cheese and wine, so we thought why not have a cheese and wine evening in the home which the residents thoroughly enjoyed. Residents got to try lots of different flavours which got the taste buds going.
A really enjoyable night of socialising had by all and everyone is looking forward to the next one.
Moors Manor Pub
Who doesn't love going to the pub so we thought why not have our own pub in the home. We had a variety of drinks, crisps and cupcakes that we baked that morning. Residents all got quite competitive playing darts and we finished off the afternoon with a quiz about beers and are winners were Ivan and Rita who were able to answer all of them. Bibesh our activities coordinator also read an article about how to make your own beer. We all had a wonderful pub experience and look forward to the next one.
Minibus trip to the local aquatic shop.
Our minibus outing was a little different this time and residents also wanted to go and look at the local aquatic shop which was next to the garden centre. Resident Marjorie then started to talk about the large pond she had in her garden which had lots of lovely fish in.
