Activities at The Wingfield 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.

Here at The Wingfield our activities team provide a varied and interesting range of activities for all residents. We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) and we take pride in delivering activities that will enhance residents lives and bring happiness and a sense of purpose. Our cooking activities are very popular, as well as the regular book clubs, coffee mornings, skittle matches and bus trips. We provide one to one support for those who are unable to attend activities and we have tea dances, musicians, quizzes, music and movement, as well as our giant scrabble board! But most importantly we have fun! Relatives are always welcome and there is always much laughter and smiling faces during our activities. We take pride in what we do and we continually strive to enhance residents lives through meaningful activity.

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

We recently hosted our very own 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party' featuring a Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea and live music from string quartet Stringbeanz 
It was a lovely afternoon spent socialising with old and new friends over good music and delicious treats made by our Head Chef Scott. Stringbeanz are a local string quartet who not only are good friends of a resident at the home but whom we also realised on the day know one of our newer residents who is a fellow violinist and played with them in Trowbridge Orchestra. Small world, and some lovely reminiscing!

Nature and Wellbeing Hand in Hand

Another day, another trip! Here at The Wingfield Care Home we love to spend time out and about in our local community.
This week we headed off to Studley Grange Garden & Leisure Park. Residents had a fantastic time seeing the different animals and a particular favourite was walking through the Butterfly House and being able to get up close to these beautiful creatures.

Treasure Trip

This week's bus trip we ventured off to Oakham Treasures History Museum and what a treat it was! We had a great time and it really sparked a lot of great memories for our ladies. One of our residents previously owned a Vespa Scooter and was thrilled to see one very similar to the one she used to scoot about on! Another favourite was seeing the statues from the famous Bristol Gromit trail and admiring the different designs.

PureGym Members Inspire Residents in Uplifting Fitness Session

Recently, two enthusiastic members of PureGym visited our home and brought a wave of energy with them. Passionate about fitness and well-being, they volunteered to lead an exercise session with our residents, offering their time and skills to guide everyone through a fun, inclusive workout. From gentle stretching to light cardio, the session was tailored to all ability levels, ensuring everyone could participate comfortably.

Residents were not only engaged but visibly uplifted by the session, sharing smiles and encouragement throughout. It was clear the visit made a meaningful impact.

The PureGym members were equally inspired by the residents’ enthusiasm and the supportive environment. Seeing the positive response, they spoke to their gym team about making the sessions a regular feature. As a result, PureGym staff members have now committed to returning regularly to host group exercise activities, building on this new partnership.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a wonderful, ongoing connection that supports both physical health and community spirit. We are incredibly grateful for PureGym’s involvement and look forward to many more sessions filled with movement, joy, and shared purpose.

Special Thanks to Our Carers

Special Thanks to Our Carers

This Carers Week, our care home came together to celebrate and honour the incredible dedication and compassion of our carers. It was a heartfelt week of appreciation, where each carer received a gift of chocolates, a personalised card, and beautiful flowers as a small token of our immense gratitude for the tireless support they provide every day.

The celebrations served as a reminder of the vital role carers play in creating a warm, safe, and supportive environment for our residents. Their patience, kindness, and commitment do not go unnoticed, and both residents and staff took time to share their thanks and appreciation.

Special thanks go to our management team, who made this celebration possible and ensured that every carer felt recognised and valued. The residents also played a lovely part in the celebrations, sharing personal messages and participating in small events throughout the week to show how much they care.

It was a week filled with gratitude, smiles, and touching moments, strengthening the bond between carers, residents, and staff. Carers Week at Wingfield reminded us all of the incredible difference these compassionate individuals make in the lives of those they care for. We are proud and thankful for each one of them.

Music Therapy Session

Music Therapy Session

This week, our residents enjoyed a wonderful music therapy. We gathered together in a cosy circle, creating an inviting and relaxed atmosphere where everyone could participate and feel included.

Various musical instruments were laid out for the residents to choose from — drums, tambourines, shakers, and maracas. The familiar feel of the instruments brought smiles and sparked happy memories. As the session began, we started singing classic old tunes that many of our residents fondly remember from their younger days. The familiar melodies encouraged many to sing along, tap their feet, or gently sway to the rhythm.

The simple act of making music together fostered a beautiful sense of community. Residents who might usually be quiet found themselves joining in, encouraged by our staff and visitors. The sound of the drums, the soft jingling of the tambourines, and the singing created a fantastic atmosphere that filled the room with positive energy.

Music therapy offers not only entertainment but also emotional and cognitive benefits, stimulating memories, reducing anxiety, and enhancing overall wellbeing. We look forward to many more sessions where music continues to bring us all closer together.

Celebrating Special Occasions- Birthday Party!

At Wingfield, celebrating special occasions is an important part of life. We take great pride in making each celebration memorable, ensuring that our residents feel valued and cherished. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful birthday party for one of our lovely residents, and what a party it was!

The highlight of the celebration was a massive, beautifully decorated cake that had everyone smiling. The excitement was contagious as staff and residents gathered together to share in the special moment. We were also treated to a fantastic performance by a professional singer, whose music brought the room to life. A few of our more energetic residents even got up to dance!

Everyone joined in, whether singing along, clapping to the music, or simply enjoying the cheerful atmosphere. These moments mean so much—not just for the person we’re celebrating, but for the whole community. Events like this remind us how important it is to come together, share laughter, and create lasting memories. We look forward to many more celebrations, each one bringing smiles and connection to our wonderful home.

Garden Cocktail Tasting at Our Care Home

Our residents recently enjoyed a lively and refreshing afternoon as we hosted a special Cocktail Afternoon in our garden—a perfect way to make the most of the lovely sunny weather and bring everyone together for a bit of fun and flavour.

In the days leading up to the event, a group of enthusiastic residents took part in preparing two delicious cocktails for everyone to sample. With fresh ingredients, a splash of spirit, and plenty of laughter, the cocktails were carefully mixed and taste-tested in our kitchen before the big reveal.

On the day of the event, our garden was filled with sunshine, music, and the cheerful clinking of glasses as residents and staff gathered to enjoy the creations. Everyone had the chance to sample both drinks, and there was plenty of conversation and good humour flowing throughout the afternoon.

Laughter echoed around the garden as one resident fondly described the event as a “boozy afternoon”—and we couldn’t agree more! It was a wonderful, light-hearted way to enjoy the summer weather, celebrate creativity, and share special moments together.
