Happy Birthday Beautiful 'Jean'
Happy Birthday to our wonderful resident Jean!
Jean lights up every room she enters, always wanting to put a smile on your face, she's such a giggle and everyones friend. Her family came and celebrated the big occasion with her along with our team members. Her beautiful cake was made by our own talented chef Sumith!
Animal Therapy
Once a month we love welcoming Lisa from Hoppy Guinea Holidays for Guinea Pig animal therapy they always bring so much joy, comfort and pleasure to all our residents they have such a calming effect. Our residents also enjoy spending time with Lisa as many of them know her as she grow up here in Much Wenlock.
Flower Power!

St Georges Day
We had 2 wonderful reasons to celebrate yesterday, firstly our lovely Fays birthday and secondly St George's day. It was such a beautiful day we celebrated with tea and cakes in the garden.
Charity Afternoon Tea
We held a lovely charity afternoon tea at West Parley Parish Council hub, our residents joined people from the community for cream tea and entertainment from the lovely Real Deal UK. There was a raffle and plant sale as well.
We raised over £350 for Plants and Minds and had a good time.
Capybara spotted at Wimborne !!
The missing capybara from Marwell Zoo was apparently (or not!!) spotted at a recent 'Dementia Communication Talk' that we hosted.
The talk was a great success with families and community joining us, however after posting this AI assisted image on social media a surprising number of sensible individuals have asked when it will next be in. We think they will be disappointed.
Gifted Easter Eggs from Hayling Lions
We feel so loved by our Community.
The wonderful Lions gifted all the residents Easter Eggs and we felt thought of and valued. Hayling is such a Community focused place and we are living within a wonderful supportive place.
Gentleman's Club Success
Wimborne has a far higher than average number of Gents so a Club for them seemed quite appropriate!
They gather monthly, bond, share and chat about things about which we must not speak! 'Whats said in the Club Stays in The club!'.
Easter celebrations
Easter Celebrations were enjoyed by residents, friends and family throughout the weekend, bringing excitement and fun in abundance. Meadow Park’s traditional Easter Egg Hunt proved to be a huge success, following the trail resulting in a very sweet ending.
With the help of some wonderful props a fun filled day full of laughter was enjoyed by all.
