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.

Activities Coordinator

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.

We created some mischief in the home with Santa's elves who are raising money for Alzheimer's Society this Christmas.

What an absolutely amazing day!

We kick-started it off with Tracey Tardiss and her beautiful singing and saxophone, followed by the marvellous Neil Wookie. They both had staff and residents out of their chairs dancing, singing and laughing. Also, a special mention to Dennis, who celebrated his 88th birthday today alongside fellow residents, staff family and friends!

Happy Birthday, Dennis!

Avon Heath Country Park

Avon Heath Country Park

The ladies of the Manor wrapped up warm for a lovely outing to Avon Heath Country Park.
They walked around the park, enjoying the nature and making the most of the winter sun. Of course they had a look in the bird hide and enjoyed a bit of sunshine before getting in the warmth of the café for a cup of tea.

Christmas Lights

We kicked off the festive season with a trip to Bournemouth to see the beautiful Christmas lights. Getting out in that winter air was lovely and the lights are so amazing to see each year!
