We include relatives, volunteers and the remaining staff whenever possible and encourage choice and participation from everyone we support. Our programme is planned in advance and is is designed provide tailored, meaningful activities for residents to participate in that will stimulate all senses, whist encouraging mental and physical well-being. We have an activity plan for all residents, and of course, this changes with the needs of each person to keep it up-to-date and useful.

Life at Worplesdon View Care Home

Ukulele’s Performance

We always look forward to the ukulele group's visits—they never fail to bring joy to our home! This time, a full group of musicians treated us to our favourite old tunes and melodies, and we had a full house in attendance. The atmosphere was wonderfully musical as we joined in, singing along and creating a truly lively experience.

Sport Session

At Worplesdon View Care Home, we love to stay active! This month, we welcomed "Sport4Life," who led us in exciting activities like frisbee, volleyball, and throwing practice. Everyone had a fantastic time, and we’re thrilled they'll be returning monthly to keep us moving and energized. Looking forward to next time!

Summer Fair

We had a fantastic time at our annual Summer Fair! With perfect weather, we enjoyed delicious ice cream, freshly grilled burgers, fun games with prizes, and adorable animal visits. Daniel and Becky kept us entertained with their singing and dancing. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for such an unforgettable day!

Cathedral Trip

Our residents had a wonderful outing to the local Guildford Cathedral, where they were treated to a captivating performance by music students on flute, piano, and vocals. The beautiful classical pieces resonated through the cathedral, and we were all mesmerised, unable to stop listening to the enchanting music. We also got to try some organic dark chocolate provided by the Cathedral.

Garden Centre Trip

In Worplesdon View care home, our residents enjoyed a delightful visit to the Woking Garden Centre, exploring and smelling a variety of flowers. They also marvelled at the large carp in the pond. The day was perfectly capped off with a relaxing cup of coffee under the sun, making it a truly memorable outing.

Lest We Forget Charity Concert

We were honoured to host the 'Lest We Forget' charity concert, who performed our favourite classic tunes and war songs. With a full house in attendance, our residents were captivated by the music, and it was a truly enjoyable experience for everyone. We are incredibly grateful for their visit and will be waiting for a new date from them!
