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
Stagecoach Performing Arts Ringwood and Wimborne
On Saturday we had Stagecoach Performing Arts Ringwood and Wimborne come in to the home to perform to our residents here. The children sang a selection of songs which our residents thoroughly enjoyed and then spent time afterwards socialising getting to know each other.
We look forward to welcoming the children to perform in the home in the future.
Minibus outing to Poole Park
We went on an exciting trip to explore Poole Park. Our residents had a fabulous time travelling on the home’s minibus getting to see the local towns nearby to the home. Resident's enjoyed a morning of seeing all the ducks and swans and then finished the trip going to the café for tea and cake.
A lovely morning was had by all and we wonder where the next minibus trip will take us.
Pauline and Skye visit to the home
We enjoyed our weekly visit with Pauline and her gorgeous dog Skye who is part of caring canines. Skye comes in every week to visit our residents here in the home. Quite a few of our residents used to have dogs of their own so to be able to spend time with Skye to have a play and then give her a little treat means so much to much. Skye and other dogs that do come and visit really do bring so much joy to everyone here.
Nigel Reville performs in the home
We had the wonderful Nigel Reville come to the home to play his guitar and sing songs that had everyone singing and tapping their toes too. One resident said the songs brought back many fond memories of her childhood which she was so grateful to have. We look forward to Nigel's next performance in the home.
Sue's singalong
We had the lovely Sue come to the home for her visit where we had a good ole sing-a-long. Residents were able to join in with the song sheets Sue provided and were really able to get their vocal chords going. Sue also did a little quiz with each song for everyone to join in.
Music really is good for the soul and brings so much enjoyment and memories. We look forward to Sue coming in again soon.
Flower arranging in the home
Residents are really enjoying their flower arranging sessions here in the home. They had a selection of flowers to choose from and made nice displays for the vases we have in the dining rooms and reception area. Some of the ladies used to do flower arranging when they were younger so to be able to do this while here in the home made them very happy.
