Life at The Wingfield Care Home
VE Day Celebrations
The Wingfield celebrated 75th years of VE DAY. Our home was filled with music, sweet treats and ice cream. Our residents joined in 3 o’clock nation toast in the garden. We are delighted and we are blessed with a very good weather on that day.
Wingfield Enjoyed Easter Celebrations
Despite of the unprecedented situation, our residents enjoyed making the most of Easter through Easter bonnet making, hot cross bun tasting and Easter egg hunting.
Each of our residents received Easter egg as well. Due to fortunate weather most of our residents enjoyed spending time in the garden to socialise.
Pen-Pal Friends
Residents are overwhelmed with all the cards, posters and inspirational stories they received from local schools and children. It gave extra joy for our residents. It is really remarkable especially with this current crisis. Thank you.
Baking Club
Our residents are always looking forward for enjoyable Monday afternoon especially for the bakers. The emphasis of Baking Club is to support each other who love to bake.
It gave a chance to our residents to be creative. Weighing, mixing and decorating brought back fond memories of baking for our residents.
Wingfield Go Wild
We were recently visited by Tropical Discovery. It has been noticeable that interacting with animals causes elevation to mood and increased energy levels, as well as promoting social behaviour to our residents. It is very rewarding to observe residents reactions with animals large or small including reptiles and insects.
Different animals bring different textures and personalities to the sessions. Animal Therapy was shown specifically decrease distressing behaviour to our residents.
Toddler Group Performs at the Lodge
We all love the visits of Maranatha Toddler Music Melody Makers group, lots of singing, clapping and laughter filled the room. The group offered a ball parachute playing which helps in improving strength and agility to our residents. Residents have fun with tea party after the performance.
