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.

Hi, My name is Bibesh Shrestha, Activity Coordinator for Moors Manor.
Having more than 10 years of professional experience in multiple sectors at different places have given me the confidence to get involved in any challenging environment where my skills and experience will be instrumental in achieving personal and social goals.
Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.
Being active and full of energy with humbleness is what defines me and transferring that energy to the people around me has been my prime interest.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Cupcake decorating
We spent a lovely afternoon decorating some cupcakes for residents and their family members to enjoy. The ladies all got rather creative with the various items they had to choose from. The ladies then finished the afternoon off by having a cup of tea, cake and a good ole natter.
Flower arranging with our volunteers
We are so lucky to have such lovely volunteers here at Moors Manor. These ladies from our local Women's Institute first visited the home to be part of the judging panel for our staff bake off last August and after this visit said they would like to be volunteers here in the home. They enjoy flower arranging themselves so when we asked if they would like to do this with our residents they were more than happy to do this and as you can see in all the photos everyone really enjoyed themselves.
Walk and talk in the garden on a sunny day
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than to get wrapped up and go outside to get some fresh air. Residents had the opportunity to talk with each other but also have a walk around our garden as well. Residents also shared their gardening stories and tips on how to keep our gardens looking as good as they do.
Avril from Forever Living
Earlier in the week we had Avril from Forever Living with her Aloe Vera products for residents and family members to try. We had a wonderful afternoon finding out the benefits of Aloe Vera and also sampling the many skin care, drinks and products that were on display.
Burn's Night Celebrations
We held a wonderful lunch in honour of Robert Burns. We had local piper from Ringwood Pipe Band to play for when we brought in the haggis.
Burns Night is always a fantastic event, it's so important to continue these traditions. Our residents enjoyed a hearty meal of Scottish Broth, Haggis with neeps and tatties all prepared by our fantastic kitchen team.
Jean's special birthday celebrations
We helped Jean celebrate her 80th birthday here in the home. Jean and her family with residents and staff in the home had a wonderful afternoon enjoying the tea party that we hosted to help celebrate Jean's special birthday.
Happy Birthday Jean from all of us here at Moors Manor.
