Activities at Wheatlands Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Wheatlands Care Home
A visit from the Mayor
The Mayor of Much Wenlock, Duncan White, was our special guest at the annual Christmas Mingle. He enjoyed talking with our residents about his role within the community and the history around the Mayor of Much Wenlock. Family and friends joined us for a lovely afternoon of mulled wine and homemade mince pies baked by the residents.
Fire Safety Talk
We were lucky enough to be joined by Delyth from Shropshire Fire and Rescue where she discussed the importance of Fire Safety within the home, with our respite residents ready for when they move back to their own homes. Members of the public were also invited to attend the talk with Delyth where she discussed what support is available through them and also the council. Our permanent residents also enjoyed talking with Delyth where she reiterated our ‘STAY PUT’ policy and wait for further instructions if you here the fire alarm sound within the home.
Happy 90th Birthday Rita!
Rita celebrated her 90th Birthday in the Wheatland’s café where she was joined by 3 generations of her family. They enjoyed a 3 course lunch cooked by our fabulous kitchen team they also baked her a beautiful birthday cake accompanied by a bottle of wine or two! Some of her fellow residents joined her after the meal where they continued the celebrations throughout the afternoon.
Christmas Church Service
We were joined by The Reverend Prebendary Matthew Stafford for our Christmas church service where friends and family also attended. After the service we enjoyed singing Christmas carols with a glass of Mulled wine and homemade mince pies made by the residents.
Santa's Grotto
Community engagement is really important here at Wheatlands, and we were lucky enough to be joined by the children of Much Wenlock nursey school where they performed their nativity, sang Christmas carols then they got to see Father Christmas as he made time in his very busy schedule to visit our very own Wheatlands Grotto.
Making Festive Centre Pieces
At Wheatlands its important for our residents to spend as much time as possible with their loved ones. We encourage friends and family to come in and join in with our activities whenever possible. We enjoyed a morning of making our fabulous festive centre pieces along with a cup of coffee and reminiscing about yesteryears.
