Life at Wilsmere House Care Home
Elvis' Birthday
Wilsmere House was transformed into Graceland to mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 85th birthday on 8th January. It is estimated that Elvis has sold over one billion records worldwide, so to honour the undisputed King of Rock & Roll, the staff and residents enjoyed a fantastic day of music, fun and dancing.

Christmas Jumper Day

Fundraising Fun
Staff and residents at Wilsmere House have taken part in a Christmas cards sale and Christmas raffle to raise money for Lennox Children's Cancer Fund.
Residents, their relatives and staff were all very supportive and were there to cheer on the participants as they began the fundraising challenge.
Wilsmere House raised a grand total of £200 by completing the challenge, which will be donated to the charity.
Diwali Celebrations
Residents at Wilsmere House had a brilliant day on Saturday 14th November, as they marked the start of the Hindu festival of Diwali, popularly known as the ‘Festival of Lights’.
Residents helped with making colourful patterned rangoli and lighting ‘diyas’—small oil lamps which are lit to signify the triumph of good over evil. Diwali honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; the lamps help Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes.
Our Head Chef prepared traditional Indian dishes, including a range of warming curries, spicy samosas, crispy bhajis and popadoms with lime pickle and chutneys followed by traditional Indian sweets, such as laddoo and barfi for the residents to enjoy.
