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
The seaside comes to Moreton HIll
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than to bring the seaside to the residents at Moreton Hill! With ice creams and sun hats on, you can see from the lovely photo's it was a fabulous way to spend the afternoon. A fantastic board was created to capture the fun with the pictures designed in postcard style and feature residents and staff. The board is sensory with felt sea, corrugated board for sand and real shells and deck chair fabric and will be on display in the home, why don't you pop in and have a look?
PAT dog therapy at Moreton Hill
It’s well-known (and scientifically proven) that interaction with a gentle, friendly pet has significant benefits ranging from increasing socialisation and reducing anxiety to encouraging communication. We are very lucky to be able to offer this service to all of our residents at Moreton Hill with room visits with a PAT therapy dog.
Garden Party in the sunshine
The sun was shining whilst the residents enjoyed a garden party with a variety of cakes made by our head chef. I'm sure you can see from the photos everyone had a great time!
Print Workshop
Our residents enjoyed todays session at Stroud Brewery as part of the Canals Trust print workshop. Using a variety of materials sourced locally from pressed flowers to a metal lock key!
Shadow the Pony visits Moreton Hill
Shadow, one of our ponies, popped in to say hello to the residents yesterday. He is very partial to a carrot or two and will be calling in next Monday lunchtime, hooves crossed!
Shadow is a Welsh Mountain Pony and his owner Lou takes him to ploughing competitions around the locality.
