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!

We very much look forward to visiting the club next year.
Memory Lane New Additions
Moreton Hill really was a hive of activity yesterday. Darren and Damian have started to put up the Christmas lights, one row alone is 60 meters! With such old architecture and the stunning location Moreton Hill lends itself to Christmas so well we can't wait to show you the big reveal. Lorna is working on an ongoing project for the Memory Lane communities. The Memory Lane communities are for those living with dementia and are specially designed with zones and colours to assist residents as they move around the home. Lorna has created open frames for the seaside area with textured shells and these are now in situ for residents to enjoy and yesterday Lorna bought in a vintage dress mannequin and clothes to display. We also added more photos to our competition display in reception - voting is now open!
Lizzy and Ruby Visit Residents
What absolutely lovely photos from Lizzy and Ruby's visit over the weekend. Gaby took the dogs to every floor with the dogs enjoying the fuss and Gaby chatting to residents.
Moreton Hill Book Club
The Moreton Hill Residents' Book Club have just finished Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club - highly recommended. This week we read some Roald Dahl, deciding that next week will will start an old favourite Swallows and Amazons.
Residents Create Stunning Poppy Display
Residents have been working hard alongside the activities team over the past couple of weeks to make poppies for our remembrance poppy patch. Today we went outside to create the display. Placing the poppies as you go up the hill to Moreton Hill's reception and with the stunning view as the back drop, it is a perfect place for reflection. Lest we forget.
Godsell's Cheese Talk
Moreton Hill had a wonderful afternoon of cheese tasting with local cheese producer Godsell's Chese who are literally down the road. We would like to thank Liz Godsell for such an interesting and really enjoyable afternoon. We all got to sample the range including single and double Gloucester, the Leonard Stanley and the famous Three Virgins. Lorna, our Activities Coordinator used to work at Godsells and still features on their advertising! It is fair to say the cheese and wine was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
