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.

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.

Life at Moors Manor Care Home
Andy with his accordion performing in the home.
We had the wonderful Andy playing his accordion today in the home and what a fantastic afternoon we had. Andy took us on a journey around the world playing songs from each country. Residents and staff were all singing, clapping along and dancing to the songs and having a lot of fun which I am sure you can see in the photos.
We always enjoy Andy's performances here at Moors Manor and look forward to him coming again soon.
Moors Manor Baking Group
Residents enjoyed their weekly baking group in the home. They made a vanilla and chocolate sponge cake and everyone used their muscles to whisk the mix. We then finished with making gingerbread and everyone enjoyed cutting the mix into lots of different shapes.
We look forward to trying out the finished product with a cup of tea or coffee and to also see what will be made in next week's baking group.
Arts and crafts on memory lane
Residents on our memory lane enjoyed an afternoon of arts and crafts were they got to create handmade cards, paintings to give to their loved ones. Everyone really enjoyed getting creative and getting ideas from one another. We had the music playing too so there was lots of singing and laughter too. A fun afternoon for all to enjoy.
Steve Linn entertains
We had the wonderful Steve Linn come to the home to entertain our residents with a selection of songs which had everyone singing, tapping their toes, swaying their arms and even some of our ladies up and dancing. Steve also wore his glitzy shoes which one of our ladies really took a shine too.
We all had a wonderful afternoon and look forward to Steve coming back to the home perform.
All Saints Church Service
We had Rev Ruth from All Saints Church in St Leonard's come to the home to hold a church service for our residents to attend. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the service and were happy that they can still continue to follow their religious beliefs and be able to have holy communion in the home. We look forward to All Saints Church coming back soon.
Minibus trip to Haskins Garden Centre
This week's minibus outing had residents go to our local garden centre Haskins. Residents did a bit of shopping to choose some new plants for our garden and also bought some gluten free Easter Eggs for a couple of our residents.
Here at Moors Manor we can cater for all our residents dietary requirements and ensure everyone gets to enjoy the delicious food we serve in the home.
We finished off the trip with a stop at the coffee shop for tea and cake.
