Life at Worplesdon View Care Home
100th Birthday Celebrations!
Worplesdon View Care Home resident Margaret celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by family and friends in a truly memorable occasion. A highlight of the day was receiving a birthday card from His Majesty the King—an incredible honour for such a special milestone.
The celebration was filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. It was a privilege to share this moment with Margaret and her loved ones. Events like these highlight the warmth and sense of community that make Worplesdon View such a special place to call home.
Easter trips out!
Residents have enjoyed a variety of outings throughout April, including a coffee concert morning at the cathedral and a lovely visit to Rookers Garden Centre in Worplesdon.
There, they enjoyed tea, cake, and watching colourful fish. We love exploring and staying connected with our local community through these special trips.
Easter Arts and Crafts
Residents at Worplesdon View Care Home enjoyed a fun and creative arts and crafts session. They painted Easter-themed sculptures and decorated eggs, bringing colour and joy to the home.
It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to express their imagination and get into the festive Easter spirit together. Happy Easter!
100 Years Birthday Celebration!
Lastly, we must celebrate an incredible milestone—John’s 100th birthday in March!
He and his family enjoyed a special meal in the private dining room, complete with a beautifully handmade cake by our chefs. It was a truly memorable occasion, and John loved marking this special day surrounded by loved ones.
St Patrick's Day
Another special occasion was St. Patrick’s Day, which we celebrated together. We learnt about its origins, took part in an arts and crafts session to help decorate the home, and enjoyed a taste of Guinness.
The lively festivities created a truly Irish atmosphere, filling the home with joy, laughter, and a sense of tradition.
