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
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.
International Sherry Week
The residents enjoyed celebrating International Sherry Week. They learnt the history and process of making sherry along with a cheeky tipple or two!
Making Poppies
Our residents enjoyed making Poppies this month as part of an art Installation along with the Much Wenlock community. The poppies are cascading down Windmill Hill in Much Wenlock for everyone to enjoy.
Mens Club
Mens Club were lucky enough to be joined by Dan from Ironmen and Severn Gilders Morris Dance Group. They all enjoyed learning about the history of Morris dancing and loved watching some past performances.
