Care homes and elderly care from Barchester Healthcare

Meet our Activities Coordinator, Stephanie Godsell

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Wingfield. My role here is to provide entertainment and stimulation for residents; we have lots of activities going on, which can be anything, from group gatherings to one-to-one sessions with myself. Life and soul are important elements of our home, home and I like to reinforce this fact as much as possible!

Activities at Wingfield Care Home

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.

Life at our home

Bastille Day

Hats off to our Head Chef, Rob, who made a delicious 3-course, French-themed buffet for Bastille Day. Residents, families and staff all enjoyed lunch in the sunshine, which was beautifully presented.

Mayor Visit

The local Mayor, Dennis Drewett, came by to The Wingfield to cut our official ribbon in celebration of the completion of our recent refurbishment. This was followed by lunch in the garden with a glass of red wine!

Tropical Discovery Workshop Returns

One of our regular visitors to the home is Tropical Discovery Workshop’s Kris, who brings various animals to the home for the residents to hold and look at, whilst learning a little bit about each species.

Armchair Exercise

Here at the Wingfield, we want to ensure that everyone can take part in physical activities. All our games can participated in from the comfort of an arm or wheelchair, and always go down well with residents.

Dance Fever

We are extremely lucky to have been contacted by Mike Freke, who is a local dance teacher. He came along to visit us during our beautiful heatwave to perform various dances with his students. The residents who were able to had lots of dances too, as well as enjoying the entertainment. We look forward to welcoming them back on a regular basis.
