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
Exercise session with Dan
Residents enjoyed having Dan back for his first exercise session of the year. Dan played a great selection of songs to get residents moving their arms and legs too and everyone said how great the session was and they were pleased to start working off those Christmas pounds!! We look forward to seeing Dan again soon in the home.
Baking Club
Residents enjoy their baking club and this week it was all about making pizza pinwheels. Residents were able to choose what toppings they put in with a selection of cheese and ham and then were able to enjoy them later in the day for supper. Jo our Activity Coordinator then asked for any other suggestions for baking club and there were quite a few options so we look forward to seeing them over the upcoming weeks.
Board games fun
Resident's had a fun morning of being rather competitive with one another over some of the classic board games. Residents were able to choose from Ludo, Snakes and Ladders and Uno! There were no clear winners but everyone all enjoyed themselves and had fun spending time together with friends.
Moors Manor Pantomime "Cinderella"
Residents and staff were in for a treat as staff put on the pantomime performance of Cinderella (oh no they didn’t- oh yes they did!) Residents enjoyed the timeless tale full of magical twists, fun, laughter and adventures.
One resident commented; “it was the best pantomime production I have seen in years, the actors really made me laugh!”
Here are just a few photos for you all to enjoy, can you recognise the members of staff!!
Creating clay ornaments
Residents enjoyed an afternoon getting creative and making clay ornaments. We went to the garden first to pick some leaves and foliage and then rolled these onto the clay to make imprints. Residents really enjoyed making something a little bit different to keep.
Steve Linn entertains
We had the wonderful entertainer Steve Linn come in today to entertain everyone in the home. He sang a variety of songs that had everyone signing, clapping and dancing in the home. Music brings so much joy to everyone here and we always enjoy Steve coming to the home and look forward to when he comes in again.
