Activities at Worplesdon View
The activities team at Worplesdon View organise and run activities and events for large groups, small groups and individual residents. 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. Worplesdon View is a fun and dynamic place to live and work, and the secret to this is that everyone is encouraged to see activities as part of their role in the home so that residents are happy and always have something to do.

Life at Worplesdon View Care Home
New Rainbow Table
We have recently received The Digital Rainbow - Care Home Table, and we couldn't be more excited! This will really enhance what we can offer our residents receiving care in bed, fancy learning to play piano? Draw a mandala? Or explore the street of Venice? It's all possible and more! We're only just getting started!
Craft Café Trip
This April we had our monthly trip to GLive's Craft Cafe, and this month we were doing some mindful colouring, and we found it very therapeutic! Dorothy was great with the stencils, Marsha couldn't quite get the hang of them! We enjoyed colouring motivating phrases, whilst having a coffee, biscuits and chat! It was lovely to get out in the sunshine and meet the local community.
Gardening Club
Despite all the rain over April (truly April showers!) we have found a few lovely days to get out in the garden! Now we have to wait and see where our seeds grow best! This mix of flowers are meant to attract bees and butterflies, we can’t wait to see what blooms over the next few weeks!
The Not Forgotten Concert
We had a simply magical morning with The Not Forgotten Charity, these wonderful people perform for veterans and as you can see, it was a packed house, with the party spilling out into the hallway! We loved having them and can't thank them enough for such a brilliant show! We were even lucky enough to meet the charity’s Chief Executive and Head of Business Operations and Finance, we know they had a good time as they were all singing and dancing along with us!
Fresh Flower Delivery
The sky is blue and it’s starting to feel like spring might be poking its head around the corner, so we decided to gift our residents some fresh flowers to brighten up their rooms. The residents loved picking their favourite arrangement from our selection, and we loved spoiling them, they deserve it!
Ukes N Sing Performance
What can we say! We had a brilliant time with Ukes n Sing the March. We loved singing along and everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces by the end! Ukes n Sing have been visiting us for years and they will always be welcome at Worplesdon View! Thank you!
