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
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
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.
