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
Church Visit
We visited our local church today for a new monthly ploughman’s lunch. It was so nice to take the residents out in the minibus again and everyone, including the staff had a great time connecting with the local community.
Lemmie visits
We had a lovely visit from our Activities coordinator’s dog, Lemmie. As you can see from his bib he rocks and the residents definitely thought so too.
Walking Club
In August we took our walking club down to the local town for a cup of tea and cake. We all had a lovely time and the weather stayed beautiful.
Jubilee Celebrations
We were so excited to be able to host a Big Afternoon Tea here at the Wheatlands care home, with families and friends of our wonderful residents booking in to eat with us at our beautifully set tables and decorated living spaces. There were tombola’s, games, stalls and raffles for everyone to join in with and we have had so much positive feedback from families and friends saying what an enjoyable event it was. Special thanks goes out to two of our amazing staff, Donna (activities) and Joel (carer) who made the event extra special by dressing up as the Queen and her Prince!
Jubilee Celebrations at Shrewsbury school
An amazing Jubilee event we were invited to was over in Shrewsbury, at Shrewsbury school. Age UK and Shrewsbury school arranged the event and we were greeted with such kindness and support, it was lovely to be able to engage with our local communities. Residents experienced live music entertainment from the school children, a beautiful afternoon tea, but our favourite event by far was the mini tea dance provided in one of the small halls, we could not stop our feet from dancing!
Visiting the Allotment
A recent trip here at the Wheatlands care home saw us heading out into our community to visit the local allotments. We have now been 2 years in a row and been shown the wonderful fruits and vegetables grown here. We were even kindly donated a box of fruit and vegetables which the kitchen enjoyed making use of! We love spending time here, especially when it is bright and sunny.
