Activities at Wilton Place Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Intergenerational fun and games

On a beautiful summer evening, Wilton Place welcomed Beavers from the 1st Wilton Scout Group. Residents joined the children in a range of activities in the courtyard garden and Bistro. There was lots of fun and smiles from all involved and after thanking the children for their visit, one of our residents presented them with their well-deserved badges.

From librarian to crime writer. Local author, Nikki Copleston, visited Wilton Place to give us an insight into her journey as a successful author and the inspiration behind DI Jeff Lincoln, the protagonist in all of her books. She welcomed questions from residents and visitors who recognised many of the locations in which the books were based and enjoyed reminiscing over homemade refreshments.Many thanks to Silver Salisbury for organising the event.

VE Day Celebrated in Style

A wonderful day at Wilton Place..... residents, families, friends and staff gathered in the Bistro for a street party style celebration. It was a heartwarming gathering filled with chef’s delicious homemade treats, great company, and memories of resilience and hope. Nigel joined us with his usual selection of toe tapping, hip swinging hits. What a wonderful tribute to a treasured generation that lived through the reality of VE Day, a great reminder of the joy in celebrating together.

Firefighters Drop In

At the weekend our residents invited the Firefighters from Wilton Fire Station to Wilton Place for coffee and cake to mark International Firefighters Day. We'd like to thank them for not only spending time with our residents but for bringing along the fire engines too.

This day honours the courageous firefighters who risk their lives to protect communities and the environment, and it is also a time to remember those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The day serves as a tribute to the dedication and sacrifices made by firefighters worldwide.

All emergency workers are welcome at Wilton Place to take advantage of our Blue Light Pit Stop, drinks and homemade treats available at all times!
