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
Anyone for Tennis?
What better way to start Wimbledon fortnight than our own game of tennis, followed by Pimm's and strawberries and cream. Residents really enjoyed their own Wimbledon and look forward to the forthcoming games.
Bird Table in Memory
Moreton Hill have been presented with a very special bird table. The table has a plaque in memory of a former resident and also thanks the team for the care they gave. We would like to thank the family and friends of Steve Collins for such a kind gesture. Our residents love all the wildlife at Moreton Hill and watching the birds is a pleasure.
National Picnic Week
It is National Picnic Week, a week dedicated to enjoying the food and traditions of picnics along with encouraging people to enjoy their local outdoor spaces. At Moreton Hill we have many acres of our own outdoor space and residents enjoyed picnic food sat out in the courtyards. The sunny day gave Moreton Hill a real Mediterranean feel.
Knit and Natter
Our ladies had a wonderful time at "knit and Natter". There was plenty of productive knitting including making the sweetest mouse. There is never a shortage of natter, it is a pleasure to watch such a sociable afternoon.
Happy Birthday Iris
Happy Birthday Iris, what a perfect day for getting out and about for a celebratory ice cream. A big thank you to Jackie and Lorna, our Activities Team, who are giving the residents such a great variety of trips. Today's trip to Wholly Gelato was a big hit, all made on the farm in Elmore, from the cows grazing in their fields.
National Beer Day!
It's National Beer Day! Residents were treated to a selection of local beers to try and as we are in the West Country we added some local ciders too! We also were able to display the bunting that residents recently sewed, it looks fantastic. Stuart, our chef made a selection of pub snacks and pickled eggs have become the Marmite of Moreton Hill! A wonderful afternoon enjoying the sun in our stunning courtyard, enjoying the range of beverages.
