Life at Wilsmere House Care Home
Open Day
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Wilsmere House to enjoy an open day that was held at the home on Saturday 9th June 2018.
Wilsmere House hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including live singer, William Smith, who sang a variety of songs. We decorated the home with Union Jack flags, bunting and balloons. Residents and visitors enjoyed a royal tea party and everyone was wearing Union Jack hats and waving jubilee flags.

Anca Costache was voted Employee of the Month for December 2017 by residents and families for her kind nature.
10 Years of Service
Congratulations to Ola Bankole for her hard work and dedication over the past 10 years. Ola joined Wilsmere in 2008 and has done some extremely fantastic work with residents. We wanted to show our appreciation, so she was gifted with a £250 voucher and some some flowers.
Pancake Day
Pancake Day is a day of feast before Lent begins. It was the last opportunity for Christians to use up their leftovers before embarking on a fasting period. At Wilsmere House, residents took the opportunity to flip a few pancakes.
