Activities at Moreton Hill Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Moreton Hill Care Home
Cotton Bud Painting
The Moreton Hill activities team have some wonderful ideas and with our creative residents these ideas are bought to life. Lorna recently ran a cotton bud painting session. As the photos show the pictures produced are really beautiful and how wonderfully seasonal as we all also enjoy the blossom outside.
Talk from Arboricultural Association
Moreton Hill residents enjoyed a fantastic talk yesterday from the Arboricultural Association based in Standish. John Parker the charities Chief Executive took time out of his bank holiday to give a fascinating talk about trees in the area and the Stonehouse Community Arboretum. John also bought in a specimen sapling grown from a seed from Hiroshima.
Not only was the talk very interesting, it gave residents a chance to find out more about our local community, we will be spotting some of the trees talked about when we are next out in the minibus.
As the leading organisation in the UK for tree care professionals they have over 3000 members. Their vision is supporting and promoting the tree care community for a society that better appreciates and cares for trees.
Moreton Hill in Bloom
The Moreton Hill courtyard has everchanging colourful displays through the seaons. The wisteria is in bloom and really is beautiful.
Marvelous Melody Makers
Moreton Hill had a marvelous melody makers session. It was wonderful to have new resiidents and team members join us to sing a variety of songs. Everyone said how enjoyable it was.
Trip to Bluebell Woods
This week Moreton Hill residents enjoyed a trip to the stunning bluebell woods near Dursely. The sea of blue was so beautiful, we are so fortunate to live surrounded by nature with so many glorious places to visit.
