Activities at Wilton Place Care Home

On the warmest day this week, we jumped onto the mini-bus for some fresh air and watched wildfowl at Langford lakes.  

The Canadian Geese were in full voice while we enjoyed delicious refreshments at the Kingfisher Café.    

This February we welcomed Asta, a music education specialist into Wilton Place for a trial workshop. Asta encouraged our residents to use their voices, bodies and instruments to copy and create a range of sounds.  

The session was well received by our residents and we will be welcoming Asta every fortnight for more musical merriment and fun! For more information or to book a show around, contact our friendly team on 01722656740 or visit our website for more information.         

The fabulous Wilton Place bakers have been very busy making delicious biscuits, which, of course, received a positive taste test and didn’t last long; even the staff got to try some. 

Here at Wilton Place we have regular baking sessions, some include bread making and even recently made some Christmas cake.   

The festive season at Wilton Place care home in Wilton was marked by a delightful Christmas Fayre that brought together residents, staff, relatives, and the local community members. This joyful event not only celebrated the beginning of the Christmas festivities, it also strengthened bonds throughout the community while supporting a charitable cause, Salisbury Hospice Charity.

Visitors to the Fayre enjoyed a vibrant array of stalls, manned by the home’s staff and enthusiastic local vendors. There was something for everyone—from exquisitely crafted Christmas cakes and a lively bottle tombola to an assortment of handmade crafts and fascinating collectables. The variety and quality of items on offer reflected the care and effort invested by all those involved.  

Our residents loved our Christmas quizz and fizz evening so much they requested we do it again for New Years Eve.

Happy New Year from all at Wilton Place!

Wilton Place residents celebrated the beginning of the year of the Horse with a delicious Chinese - themed meal, specially prepared by our in-house chef. Accompanied by delicious wine, the conversation also flowed, and we learnt what the future holds through the medium of fortune cookies.
