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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home

Knitting Club

Our knitting club have enjoyed meeting in the lounge to start creating some lovely items for the ladies to give to loved ones. What was lovely was the chatting between each other all sharing their memories of knitting with their families. We finished the morning with Marjorie playing the piano and residents singing along to the songs. A really enjoyable morning had by everyone.

Gardening club

With the weather not being quite as sunny we decided to bring our garden club indoors. Residents started to plant up the spring bulbs tulips, daffodils, crocus and alliums. We put these containers on the balcony in memory lane and look forward to them growing into the beautiful flowers.

Bee Keeping talk with Boris

We had our second chef Boris come to the home with son to talk about his hobby with the residents which is being a bee keeper. He talked about the process of how he makes his own honey from start to finish. Residents also got to look at honeycomb, tried the Apiary Hat and got to taste the honey that he made. Residents found it very interesting and look forward to Boris coming in again with some more samples and next time to help build the frames.

Scrabble with Steve

Today we had Steve with his giant scrabble board for our residents to enjoy a good ole game of scrabble. Residents got into two teams and came up with some fabulous words to score the highest amount to be the overall winners. It was a close call this time with only a few points in it!! We look forward to Steve coming back again soon.

Macmillan Coffee morning

We held our Macmillan Coffee morning and what a fantastic morning we had. Residents, family members and the wider community all came along to support our event in the home. We had entertainment by Nigel Revill - Lone Reveller Music who performed a variety of songs to entertain us all and we raised a great amount for this very worthy cause.

Andy and his accordion perform in the home

We had the very talented Andy with his Accordion come to the home to perform to our residents. He played a wide of selection of songs, marches and musicals which had everyone tapping their toes and singing along too. After his set in the café Andy then went around the home to play to those that weren't able to come along which brought many smiles to those residents.
