Activities at Wilton Place Care Home
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.

Some of the members of the 'Mens Shed' came and enjoyed a full English breakfast prepared by our Chef Hayley and hosted by Antoinette the General Manager
What a great way to start the day!
Visit to the Golf Course
Maureen captained the ladies team of the Highpost Golf Club from 1997 to 1998.
Dee, current ladies’ captain and all the past ladies’ captains hosted a lovely afternoon tea for Maureen.
She was treated to a golf buggy ride around the course, followed by home made scones, with jam, cream and pots of tea and coffee. Maureen had a wonderful time reminiscing and catching up with club news.
Tea with a Pony
The ‘Tea with a Pony’ experience was booked for some of our animal loving residents a ta local stables.
The ladies headed off on the minibus with Antoinette, the home’s General Manager and Carly Mitton, Head of Housekeeping.
The ladies were treated to a tour of the stables, they met the volunteers and were introduced to a number of ponies. They soaked up the atmosphere and enjoyed petting and stroking the animals and also met the stable cat.
A fun morning with Sheryl from Harnham Physio!
The ladies and gents enjoyed a morning of armchair exercise as it improves their strength, flexibility and fitness and it is enjoyable to do as a group.
Pet Therapy
Henry who is a 'Clumber' breed has just passed his certificates to be a pat dog for 'Pets Therapy' and he came to Wilton Place for the first time today to meet the residents and staff, accompanied by his owner Andrew who lives locally.
Henry was so well behaved, gentle and friendly that John and Iris our residents, thought he was just adorable and thoroughly enjoyed his visit today.
Henry and Andrew plan to visit us each week, Henry for treats and a bowl of water and Andrew for coffee and cake!
