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
Moors Manor is Now Open
We are thrilled to announce we have officially opened our doors, welcoming the first residents into our stunning new home!
Our friendly team will provide bespoke residential, dementia and respite care in beautiful surroundings, with delicious home-cooked meals prepared by talented chefs, a café for socialising and enjoying freshly baked treats and a choice of daily life-enrichments activities to add joy and laughter to each day. And, with beautiful views across the neighbouring woodland from the upper floors and an outdoor terrace, residents can make the really most of the outdoor space.
We are delighted our home is now open; our residents are at the heart of everything we do at Moors Manor, and we look forward to welcoming them and delivering best-in-sector personalised care.”
We take pride in really getting to know each of our residents to provide tailored care and support, ensuring dignity and choice in every aspect of daily life. At Moors Manor we will celebrate life and ensure there is plenty on offer for all tastes and abilities.
If you are looking for care for yourself or a loved one please call us today to discuss your needs and how Moors Manor can support you and your family.
The Magic Table
Moors Manor is getting ready to welcome residents in February by installing the Tovertafel 'Magic Table’ as a way to improve residents’ quality of life.
Created in the Netherlands, the Tovertafel uses interactive games to connect people in the mid-to-late stages of dementia with each other, their family members and friends, all the while stimulating movement. Using interactive light projections, the Tovertafel, which can be played independently or as a group, invites participants to pop bubbles, sweep leaves or interact playfully with fish. Another game generates a series of well-known sayings and phrases, which often sparks discussion and brings back memories. Games are rich in colour, movement and detail, and allows people of all ages to play in a safe and comfortable environment.
We’re excited to bring a touch of magic to the residents at our home. It will make a big difference for residents who might not be able to join in conversations, or are prone to becoming agitated by helping to connect residents with the home and with each other, and it’s fun for the young and the young at heart.
Our First Christmas
The team have been busy decorating the marketing suite for the festive season. Our beautiful tree in our resident lounge on the ground floor was decorated by Scott, our Head of Maintenance, and Charlotte, our Home Services Advisor.
Those visiting the home whilst looking for care for themselves or their loved ones have been treated to mince pies in front of the fire.
Marketing Suite Now Open
The Moors Manor team have welcomed Councillor Tony Ring, Mayor of Ringwood, to join them in the official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of our marketing suite.
Councillor Ring enjoyed a full tour of the marketing suite and was interested in the dedicated facilities the home provides for residents with dementia.
He spoke with General Manager, Chrissie Heyes, about the additional training the carers for these residents receive and how the design of the home can support those living with dementia.
Giving Thanks
Moors Manor has been lending a helping hand to NHS staff at St Leonards Hospital as they start their COVID-19 vaccination programme.
It’s been great to be able to offer our car park to the hard working staff from the hospital to allow more space for those attending their vaccine appointment. The team have been out in all weathers making sure that the traffic marshals have hot drinks and helping out however they can.
The team have also put together treat bags for the NHS staff to say thank you, which were left on their cars for when they finished their shift, the home has had great feedback from the hospital team, with several nurses visiting Moors Manor to say thank you and comment on how appreciated they feel.
Christmas Jumper Day
The Moors Manor team have been celebrating Christmas Jumper Day and raising money for Save the Children UK.
They were joined by Ringwood Mayor, Councillor Tony Ring, who enjoyed a tour of the home and spoke with the team about our new care home.
