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
Cinema Trip
Residents enjoyed a trip out to the cinema at Bridgnorth on Monday 16th January to watch La La Land. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves whilst munching popcorn, and danced all the way home!
The Christmas Spirit!
Staff at Wheatlands loved the festivities and getting involved with the Christmas celebrations. Residents and staff all enjoyed themselves at the residents' party on 16th December. There was lots of delicious food made by our Chefs and plenty of Prosecco to go round! Well done to everyone for making the most of Christmas.

We are one of the first care homes to receive a new dementia care accreditation!
Wheatlands has achieved accreditation for a new standard of dementia care after taking part in a 10 month pilot trialling a new programme developed by dementia care specialists at Barchester Healthcare.
The 10-60-6 dementia programme will replace Barchester's current dementia care programme in order to ensure that the care services provided by our Memory Lane communities for people living with dementia are the best in the sector.
A certificate and trophy were presented to us at a celebratory lunch on 15th August. The presentations were opened by Martin Green who is the Chief Executive of Care England, the largest representative body for independent social care services in the UK.
