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 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
Val's Birthday
Yesterday we helped to celebrate the wonderful Val's birthday here in the home. We had a tea party with residents coming along to wish Val a happy birthday and also get to enjoy tea and the homemade birthday cake prepared by our fantastic dining team.
Happy birthday Val from all at Moors Manor.
Visit to Riding for the Disabled Wilton Group
We like to make our residents wishes come true here in the home and this is exactly what we managed to do. On Friday we visited Riding for the Disabled - Wilton Group.
Jenny used to have her own horses when she was younger and enjoyed going on horse rides, Rita wanted to go and visit the horses and get up close to them.
The staff and volunteers here all do such an amazing job and were so happy to show us around and for Jenny and Rita to make some new friends. We then all enjoyed tea and cake afterwards and found out more about the wonderful work they do and we plan to visit them again very soon.
Steve Linn performs in the home
We had the fantastic Steve Linn come in to the home to entertain all our residents and as you can see from the photos we had a very fun afternoon. Residents were singing and dancing to the songs Steve performed from the earlier decades and having a lot of fun and laughter.
We look forward to Steve coming back again soon.
Group games in the home
Residents love playing different games here in the home as it is a great way to have a little bit of friendly competition and also to get those thinking caps working as well.
Rita, Eileen and Jenny all enjoyed playing Jenga together and were desperately trying to not knock the tower down. We also had Steve with his giant scrabble board come in to the home for all the residents to think of some great words to score as many points as they could.
Trip to the local pub.
Well who doesn't love going to the pub especially for a nice cold glass of beer. We decided to take our gents out on the minibus to our local pub The Woodman for them to enjoy a beer together sitting out in the sunshine. Cyril, Ivan and Robert had a lovely afternoon together and look forward to more of our gents in the home come along on the next trip to the pub.
Garden fun
We have such beautiful gardens here at Moors Manor, and when the sun comes out we like to make the most of them. Residents enjoyed the views out onto Avon Heath Country Park, walks, playing games and having tea and cake together in the garden together.
Residents have also been busy planting up flower seeds and we look forward to seeing them grow and then planting them into the garden.
Let's hope the sun comes back soon so that we can enjoy the gardens again soon.
