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
Afternoon games in the sun at Moreton Hill
Children from the Shrubberies visited Moreton Hill today for an afternoon of games with the residents. What a great afternoon sat in the glorious sunshine.
Standing room only at Moreton Hill's event 'An Evening With June Hennell MBE'
Visitors, staff, family members and residents came along for our organised presentation 'An Evening With June Hennell MBE, Exploding The Dementia Myth'. With thanks also to Gloucestershire Fire Service for their advice on fire safety in the home. It was standing room only as the beautifully presented dining room filled to capacity. Feedback from visitors was fantastic with compliments to both speakers and the new care home manager Daney Thomas.
Yarn Bombing - Painting the town pink
The residents of Moreton Hill had such fun today at the Stonehouse Yarn Bombing- Painting the town pink. This is a community event where the main road into Stonehouse is decorated with knitting for breast cancer awareness. All the residents have been working hard for months on thier creations!
Evoke project visits Moreton Hill
The reminiscence session sparked memories, conversations and stories with all the residents of memory lane and was such a hit we have asked them to return again!
Stonehouse in Bloom - Update
Our residents have been working extremely hard on their Stonehouse in Bloom entry. I am pleased to say this now takes pride of place on the green outside the doctors surgery and can be enjoyed in all its splendour by the whole community. The residents helped plant the beautiful flowers in situe and our resident poet wrote a poem which takes pride of place on top. As there is a fish and chip shop nearby, and planting is tiring work, we had to, of course make a stop for a spot of lunch!
Standish Hospital Story Catching event at Moreton Hill
With support from the local history society, Moreton Hill hosted a 'story catching event' to capture as many memories and stories of the now closed Standish hospital. Members of the community joined us with some very interesting photographs to share with the group.
