We recognise the importance of a balanced, nutritious diet. We offer a wide range of dishes on our daily menu. The meals are made using only the finest ingredients and fresh local produce.

Residents can dine in our spacious dining room or in their own rooms. Our cooks are trained to cater for all kinds of special dietary needs.

At Moorings we encourage residents to partake in a variety of activities. We have a games room where the activities range from snooker, darts, board games, cards, quizzes, music, to indoor skittles. 

 As an integral part of the local community we frequently have visits from musicians and choir singers from local schools. The home has its own mini-bus which is used regularly to take residents out on trips.

The home is run under the management of Lisa Bexton. Lisa is a Registered Nurse. All nursing staff have a formal nursing qualification. All care staff are trained in the care of older people and have NVQ qualifications or are working towards one. The home adopts a ‘key worker’ and ‘named nurse’ practice, where a member of staff takes interest in a particular resident and offers support and friendship.
