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
Moreton Hill's Olympics
It has been a really fun week with Moreton Hill's Olympics. It began with balloon volleyball and then the shooting events which bought another day of laughs with our own Olympic flame burning bright. Nancy, Rosemary, Pat and Mari made winning shots with the Nurf gun and really were excellent sports. On the podium Ruth with bronze, Ham silver and our gold medalist Roger.
New Yoga Positions
At today's yoga class most of the positions were seated, but a few brave residents practiced a chair pose called the mountain pose tadasana followed by part utkatasana. It encourages balance, good posture and elongation of the spine! Everyone is really enjoying and benefitting from these yoga sessions.
Olympic Preparations
We are getting ready for our own Olympics at Moreton Hill. Penny, Iris and Nancy have begun by creating the rings, we will keep you updated!
Vinnie Joins in Skittles
Skittles games are always good fun and a firm favourite at Moreton Hill. This time Vinnie wanted to join in! He is such a character and very much part of the family.
Boat Trips with Cotswold Boatmobility
Residents have had a wonderful time over the past week taking boat trips with Cotswold Boatmobility. Sat on Zephyrus their wheely boat which is fully accessible we took in the scenery and wildlife from Ryeford to Stonehouse. We have also been very fortunate with the weather! Moreton Hill would like to thank Cotswold Boatmobility very much for giving our residents this opportunity, it really has been such a great experience.
Oh Deer!
What an absolute treat during our lunch today to have such an appealing visitor. There was a fly in the ointment; his lunch was our roses!
