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
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!
Memory Lane Enjoy Magic Table
Moreton Hill is fortunate to have a Tovertafel Magic Table. Designed in the Netherlands the Tovertafel uses interactive games to connect those living with dementia. Using interactive light projections there are a variety of games. Today residents enjoyed three games the first rose petals and love hearts swishing around to reveal pink love hears popping. We then displayed different fabrics which start off grey and as you move your hand or foot over the image colours are displayed. Then there was great fun with sweets, you step on the sweets to move them into the bag, the more sweets the more points!
Creative Floral Displays
Regular visitors to Moreton Hill we are sure will have noticed the beautiful flower arrangements in reception and around the home. Today we have experimented with different vessels using tea cups and boxes for our arrangements. As you will see from the photos the end results are stunning with our creative residents really enjoying this activity.
Summer BBQ
We all had a wonderful time at our summer BBQ over the weekend. There were smiles all round as residents gathered in the Courtyard for a delicious selection of BBQ food and salads. We all then settled in the shade to enjoy Shelia and Steve singing, it was marvelous to welcome them back to Moreton Hill again. We then rounded off the day with a traditional afternoon tea. It was such a relaxed afternoon in the warm weather.
