Celebrating life at Barchester

We would like to thank everyone for taking the time out of your busy days to join us here at Wheatlands Care Home for our Professionals coffee morning in our cafe. 

The event brought everyone together for great conversations, new connections, and a relaxed atmosphere. With plenty of tea, coffee, cake, and croissants to enjoy,

If you would like to get involved in our next session whether you run your own business, work locally, or are just starting out, you’re very welcome to join us. please email wheatlands@barchester.com for more information!

Some of the gang ventured out around the village to take in the sights and say hello to our lovely locals. We're so lucky to have so many green spaces on our doorstep!

A sunny afternoon in the garden calls for cheese & wine - our favourite - enjoyed with each other along with some music. Afternoon bliss.

We're delighted to share the wonderful success of our recent bake sale, where together we raised over £300 in support of Crossroads Care Surrey. The event was a true community effort filled with generosity, warmth, and plenty of delicious treats. From homemade cakes, to savoury bakes, the variety on offer was incredible and clearly appreciated by everyone who came along!

There's nothing quite like a bit of fresh air and time in the garden. Our residents have been enjoying getting their hands dirty, planting flowers, and bringing some beautiful colour to our outdoor spaces. Gardening is a wonderful way to relax, stay active and connect with nature - it is even better to share it together. We love seeing these moments of teamwork, laughter and creativity in bloom.

Once again we were back in the beauty of Wisley Gardens. We are making the most of the gorgeous sunshine coming our way, venturing out with our residents and their lovely family members to soak in the blooms and blossoms. There's nothing quite like a lunch in the fresh air and a lovely cuppa to round off a perfect stroll.

Our residents and families had a fantastic time celebrating Easter with an afternoon full of fun, laughter and music! 

Residents, families and staff enjoyed a lively Easter egg hunt, creative crafts and brilliant live music from the talented Bedlam House Band. Smiles all round, plenty of treats and a great atmosphere — a truly egg-cellent day for everyone involved!      

As part of our commitment to ensuring our residents remain connected to their community, our memory lane enjoyed a trip to the Gilmerton Community Centre for their brand-new monthly Dementia café hosted by Roger’s Afternoon Tea and Coffee in collaboration with Erskine Veterans Charity. 

They enjoyed singing, games, a light lunch and coffee, along with lots of lovely conversations with members of the community. It was a warm and welcoming afternoon, full of smiles, laughter, and connection. A very positive experience where everyone had the chance to socialise, take part in activities and enjoy each other’s company.
