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
Birthday celebrations for Rita and Sheila
Today was a special day in the home as we had not one but two birthday's to celebrate 🎂. Rita and Sheila both enjoyed a lovely day here in the home with homemade cakes and presents from us all.
From all the staff and residents here at Moors Manor, Happy Birthday Rita and Sheila.
Minibus outing to Haskins
We had another enjoyable minibus outing for our ladies and this time we visited Haskins Garden Centre. Veena, Betty, Kathy and Liz all enjoyed having a look at all the beautiful plants. Liz was very good with her plant knowledge and was teaching us all the names. We then finished the trip with a lovely sup of tea and cake.
As we were leaving we could see that they were starting to set up their Christmas displays so we will make sure we come back to see what they have created.
Keep the body moving!
Exercise is so important for us all which is why we always make sure we have at least one class each week. Here we have Dan who is new to the home who holds a seated exercise class which really gets the residents moving but as well he plays a great selection of music which has us all singing along too. We also have Rosemary who holds a seated yoga class which is helping everyone's mobility and also breathing. Here are just a few photos from both classes.
Minibus outing to the New Forest
Residents Bryan, Henry, June and Marianne enjoyed a lovely afternoon out to Royal Oak, North Gorley. Everyone enjoyed a chilled drink, took in the beautiful scenery and got to find out more about each other. It was very peaceful and what was lovely was that we got to see the famous New Forest ponies and also saw a few cows and donkeys as well.
Everyone all enjoyed going to the pub so we will make sure to come again very soon.
Bean Bag toss with our volunteers
We had our fantastic volunteers Geraldine, Dee and Adele come to the home again and they really do enjoy rolling up their sleeves for whatever activity the residents would like to do. This time it was a game of bean bag toss to see who could score the most. It was a rather competitive game amongst everyone a good way of improving your hand eye coordination. Our winner was Eileen who scored an amazing 90! Second place went to Ivan and in third place was Kathy.
We look forward to when our volunteers come back next time to see what the residents have in store for them!!
Minibus outing to Pembroke Riding for the Disabeld
Residents enjoyed going back to Riding for the Disabled - Wilton Group for tea with the ponies. Our residents Jenny, Maud, Robert and Rita had an amazing time meeting the horses and staff. We were also joined by Maud's family who met us there and also got to share the experience too.
This time our residents got to groom and walk with ponies while the staff also shared wonderful stories about each pony.
Afterwards we all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea which was prepared for us by the volunteers and had a fun afternoon together.
