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
Scary Hair Day
Scary hair day went down well with staff and residents. Resident, Shirley, in her rainbow wig, enjoyed the double looks she got and Head Housekeeper, Sue, just confused everyone as her 'before' look was scarier than her 'after'.
10 Years Service Award
Administration Assistant, Carole Meecham, received her 10 Years Service award from resident, Dorothy, along side two newly appointed managers. Congratulations, Carole!
Nation Poetry Day
Resident, Moira, wrote a poem in celebration of National Poetry Day, which was on Thursday 6th October.
The Rainbow
When I first wake and rise
I go to my window and open my eyes.
One day there was a special surprise -
A wonderful rainbow over the Severn
And the Forest of Dean could be seen.
Seven colours in the morning light
Making an incredible sight.
I feel so lucky to have such a view,
And thought that I would share it with you.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We had a great time eating cake for our Macmillan Coffee Morning. Lots of family and friends turned up to support us and try out the delicious cakes that staff and residents had made.
In total, we raised £95 paint for Macmillan Cancer Support - a brilliant amount!
Cupcake Week
We've had a great week making, decorating and eating cupcakes to celebrate National Cupcake Week. We invited Sadie to come and sing for us; everyone had a great time dancing and had plenty of sugar!
Summer Fete
Resident, Wyn, wore a tea cosy to ward off the sun at our Summer Fete.
The weather was fantastic and King Stanley, the visiting band, did us proud, as always. We had a great afternoon with lots of people and goodies, including a spectacular cake.
