Activities at The 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.

Life at The Wingfield Care Home
Love is all Around
There is always plenty of love and warmth at The Wingfield but today there was that little bit more as we celebrated Valentine's Day. The Pavilion was decorated with love for a wonderful performance from singer Jessica Fay Long. It was lovely that some of our residents' partners could join them and everyone enjoyed some well-know songs and entertainment.
College Students on Placement at The Wingfield
It was a great start to the week at The Wingfield. Every Monday this term we are delighted to have Celestial and Erin from Wiltshire College & University Centre on their placement for their BTEC in Health and Social Care. Celestial and Erin will be spending time with residents and learning about all the departments that operate within the home.
Sylvia taught Celestial about crosswords! This afternoon we welcomed back Anthony and Lorna, Anthony is a talented pianist whose wife Lorna accompanies him with her beautiful singing. There was singing and dancing to classic songs including "I could have danced all night" and "when you're smiling (the whole world smiles with you....)" In the Lodge Anthony also played a piece from the film Ladies in Lavender by Nigel Hess. Thank you both for such an enjoyable afternoon.
We look forward to welcoming Celestial and Erin on Mondays over the coming weeks and wish them well with their course.
End of the Track
The Wingfield were delighted to welcome back End of the Track, the residents so enjoy their music. There was lots of toe tapping and dancing, a great time was had by all. The group say how much they love performing in care homes.
Bouncing on the Beds!
The Wingfield Residents enjoyed a trip out to Leekes Department Store in Melksham and had a lovely time. Mair tested the beds and sofas! There was an opportunity as well to feed the fish on display and for sale. We then enjoyed tea and cake in the cafe, it was really enjoyable having a wonder round this varied store.
Five Star Crafts Launches at The Wingfield
It was wonderful to see the collaboration between the ladies from The Lodge and the ladies from the Trowbridge U3A as they got together to create stunning hand-made cards. Everyone was very industrious!
The newly formed Trowbridge U3A Craft group known as 5 Star Crafts will meet at The Lodge and there will be a different craft every 2 weeks that our residents can take part in. The group are kindly preparing and providing "kits" for the residents and everyone so enjoyed not only creating but also chatting.
Special Delivery
The Wingfield residents were delighted that Father Christmas took time out of his busy schedule to personally deliver gifts on Christmas Day!
It has been a wonderful few weeks counting down Christmas, there has been some great entertainment, a great selection of arts and crafts as well as some delicious festive food.
