On the day, residents and sta at Moors Manor took part in an elf-themed quiz; sta were also busy delivering mince pies to the local NHS workers to say thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to keep everyone safe and well during 2021, including the wonderful vaccination team at St Leonards Hospital. Caroline Bacon, General Manager at Moors Manor and Head Elf, said: “Elf Day is always a lot of fun and we are home to some of the most unusual elves I have ever seen! We know first-hand that many people, including a good number of our residents, are living with some form of Alzheimer’s. That’s why raising money to support dementia charities is dear to our hearts and we’re always so keen to get involved. We’re proud that the money we’ve raised will go towards such a good cause. Christmas is a time for giving and we wanted to thank the NHS teams near us for the wonderful job they do. For anyone that has any questions about caring for those with Alzheimer’s, do please give us a call and we’ll do all we can to help.” At Moors Manor their varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities. ey are also making their homes as safe as possible and ensure all new residents and sta are vaccinated before moving in or working within the home.
