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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Celebrating the Kings Coronation
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal afternoon tea and quiz.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
Our talented chef prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of champagne.
We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.
Enjoying the spring sunshine
Marjorie and Colin sat with a cup of tea enjoying the spring sunshine. Whilst Maisie took her Empathy dolls for a wander in the gardens. Marjorie sang her favourite songs to Colin and they all soaked in the spring sunshine.
Cycling to Buckingham Palace
Our staff, residents and professional friends static cycled 107 miles from our home to Buckingham Palace today in time for the kings coronation. We raised £350 for Dementia Action, a local community group that assists with dementia. A fantastic day, we enjoyed singing, clapping and healthy beverages to help us along the way. Lester Aldridge our partner also joined in the cycle and generously donated to a really worthy cause.
Coronation talk with historian Pippa Catterell
