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. We take pride in what we do and we continually strive to enhance residents lives through meaningful activity.

Life at The Wingfield Care Home
Interesting Workshops
The Wingfield residents were delighted to welcome back Kris from Tropical Discovery Workshops his visits are always so interesting and everyone enjoys meeting the reptiles, insects and spiders and learning all about them.
We are pleased to announce that Kris will be a special guest at our Halloween Party on Tuesday 31st October.
The Wingfield Monthly Short Mat Bowls Club
The Wingfield are so pleased to have the continued support of the expert bowls players from Trowbridge Bowls Club at our own monthly club. The great thing about the club is all abilities can play and enhance their skills including those who use a wheelchair. It is also great fun as the bowls do sometimes end up off-piste! Each month we invite neighbouring Barchester homes to join us and it is great to see residents getting to know each other, they will often join us for lunch after the bowls.
And now for Something Completely Different!
The Wingfield's Summer Party will be remembered for Twister Jamie and his flames! What a great performance thoroughly enjoyed by all. There were some more traditional aspects afternoon tea and an icecream van all topped off with singing from the wonderful Shannon Kitchen. A great fun packed afternoon.

Pet therapy has so many benefits including lowering blood pressure, lifting mood and encouraging interaction. Thank you so much Fizz for a wonderful visit.
