Life at Wilsmere House Care Home
A Beachtastic Outing
Residents look forward to visiting the Ruislip Lido each year. The lido has become our annual beach scene and the residents enjoy seeing the children run around and play in the sand.
Annual Summer BBQ
Residents, relatives and staff had a fantastic time dressing up and dancing whilst enjoying a delicious BBQ prepared by our catering team.
de Havilland Aircraft Museum
On a very sunny afternoon, some residents and relatives decided that they wanted to visit the de Havilland Mosquito Aircraft Museum.
Most residents were a bit put off by the name 'Mosquito', and said, "Who would want to see mosquitos?" However, one resident, who was an aircraft fanatic, stepped in and replied, "No, its not actually a mosquito, but a prototype which is made of wood and was used during World War 2. They were over the moon to see the aircraft, so much so that we have arranged to visit again.
Open Day
On June 2017, Wilsmere House threw open its doors and welcomed the community, local authories, and the CQC, who had the opportunity to come and witness life within our home. Residents decorated the hall and chose their theme, along with the food. Everyone had a fantastic time and we danced the afternoon away.
Buffet Luncheon
The General Manager at Wilsmere House invited all the care staff to a luncheon during Carers Week to show her appreciation for their hard work and dedication throughout the years.
The staff enjoyed a buffet prepared by the catering staff and there was a raffle where they all won prizes on the day.
Wilsmere House Care Centre Celebrating Burns
All the residents’, staff and families dressed in Tartan Kilts and came out to celebrate Robert Burns on January 30th 2016.
We had a piper whom piped the Haggis to the main area. A toast was given to the Haggis, poetry was read, music played and songs were sang! While we continued the fun downstairs the Piper was busy playing on each unit so the residents who were unable to leave their rooms could enjoy this beautiful music.
The residents and guests enjoyed the Haggis with Neeps and Tatties and this was washed down with Irn Brew. They also had lots of whiskey for their Toast which seemed to go on and on! It was a beautiful afternoon and the residents enjoyed the recital of poetry and some good old Scottish music. To end the afternoon we all joined in to sing Auld Lang Syne.
