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

Sunny Singing

On Saturday, we had the pleasure of enjoying the live vocals from David Dawson, who entertained us whilst we tapped our toes in the garden. Residents enjoyed lunch outside, as it was such a glorious day.

Wings & Talons

The Wingfield had the pleasure of enjoying a visit from Rob Evans, who runs the Wiltshire-based service, bringing birds of prey to local events. The residents listened to information about the different birds and had the opportunity to get up close to them as well. A fantastic afternoon was had by all!

BRACE Yourselves

We recently held a fundraising event for BRACE, which is an Alzheimer’s disease fundraising charity based in Bristol. James Hogg, who is a regular and popular entertainer here at Wingfield, joined us for this event. There was cake and goodies for the residents and guests, and we raised a modest donation and will continue to collect for the charity moving forward.

102nd Birthday Celebrations

On the 28th May, we celebrated Evelyn’s birthday at the Lodge with music, food, fun and laughter. Evelyn is the eldest resident in the home and we wish her many happy returns!

Emergency Services Visit

Paul and Jamie from South Western Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust were called out one morning in the area, so we stocked up with coffee and cake for them to take on the road with them.
