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
Busy Baskets
Moreton Hill's wonderful activity team have created busy baskets. These personalised baskets include craft items, a proverbs game (match the two halves), a puzzle photo of the resident and a chocolate treat. Everyone is really enjoying discovering what is in their basket and love the care and attention that has gone into creating their basket.
Marion's Birthday Burns Night
What a great combination Marion's birthday, Burns Night and live accordion music!
Benefits of Walking
There are so many benefits of getting outside and walking, we have had some beautiful clear days during January and have taken the opportunity to go outside when possible, the views from Moreton Hill are breathtaking. It is lovely to see residents also having a laugh along the way.
Crisp Winter Walks
Moreton Hill residents have been taking advantage of the crisp winter weather taking walks around our extensive grounds. There have been glorious blue skies, clear views and everyone is so enjoying this time outside, it is becoming a 2022 routine!
Walks with Hawks Return
Moreton Hill were delighted to welcome back Walks With Hawks this time with Oreo the barn owl, Havoc the Kestral and The Mighty Thor returned who is a burrowing owl. Thank you Clair who is so good with our residents, not only putting on a demonstration for a group, but also spending time with individual residents in their rooms. We look forward to welcoming Clair and her wonderful birds back again soon.
Top Games of 2021!
We started the year having great fun playing one of our favourties - balloon volley ball! It would be hard to choose between balloon volley ball and skittles for our favourtie game of 2021!
