Celebrating life at Barchester

The residents of the home enjoyed a fun afternoon of golf in our Bistro area.  We think Tiger Woods would be impressed by some of their putting skills.  We will be holding more sporting themed events in 2026 as this has been very popular among residents , guests and the staff.

We have had so much fun dancing the afternoon away! 

Joy and laughter filled the room as we also celebrated one of our lovely ladies birthdays; Happy Birthday, Muriel.

We are proud to offer this event on a monthly basis and welcome anyone to come along and boogie with us. Thanks again to Steve from Retro DJ for putting on such a great afternoon, providing us with both great music and lights! 

Our Employee of the Month Award goes to our lovely Activities Coordinator, Chloe!

Chloe always gives her best in making sure our residents have an array of activities that bring joy to all. From fantastic bus trips to all of our themed events. Chloes hard work doesnt go unnoticed and is a highly valued member of staff here at Wingfield.

We've had so much fun on our Forget Me Not unit today celebrating the New Year! Drinks were flowing and everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing!

We ended the party with a countdown and singing the traditional 'Auld Lang Syne' together. The perfect way to welcome the new year in together.

An early morning seated Yoga session . The residents love activities and one of their favourites is a seated yoga session led by Rik one of our Activities team members. 

Thank you to the talented Matt O'Neil for coming to perform for us! We had such a great morning of music and smiles!

Matt always likes to test our knowledge with a bit of music trivia between each song! Testing music knowledge helps keep the mind active, boosting memory and engagement. It’s a fun, enjoyable way to support our residents’ wellbeing and mental stimulation🎙

We look forward to rock and rolling with you again soon with Rock & Roll Music Therapy.

 

Today several of our gentleman residents enjoyed a trip out to local pub The Red Admiral and residents Paddy, Roy and Roy's wife joined us. Paddy and Roy both enjoyed a pint of beer and as requested Paddy's favourite salt and vinegar crisps.

A really enjoyable morning playing a few games of pool, chatting and watching the snooker on the television. It's given us lots of ideas about how we can revamp our bar lounge 'The Wingfield Arms' on our Forget Me Not unit - watch this space.

We had such a lovely day at the home celebrating Christmas this year.

A truly special day filled with joy, laughter and festive magic. Celebrations kicked off with a surprise visit from Santa delivering presents to everyone, followed by a traditional Christmas lunch  and an afternoon of Christmas movies, mulled wine and mince pies.

A heart-warming celebration that reminded us what Christmas is all about - togetherness, kindness and sharing those special moments as we were joined by lots of family and friends for the day.

A big thank you to Santa who has been visiting the home on Christmas day for many years now and to all the staff that helped make this day so memorable.

Lillie aged 11 generously made cards for each and everyone of our residents at the home and also some of our staff too! It was a real pleasure to welcome her into our home recently, accompanied by Dad, as she insisted she handed them out individually and met all of our residents. Our residents were incredibly grateful for Lillie's generosity and the time she took making so many cards! 

Thank you so  much Lillie, we really hope you enjoy your gift.
