Brackley Dementia Choir Returns

Our trip to the dementia friendly choir in Brackley was great fun and the first since the Easter holidays.

Everyone had a nice time catching up with each other, and of course enjoyed the singing!

Empowering & Connecting Professionals

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.

Perfect day for a village walk!

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!

Sunny Sips & Smiles!

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

Charity Bake Sale Success

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!

Gardening Time

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.

Spring Trips Out

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.

Once Upon a Tune

We were thrilled to have the talented Hannah from Once Upon a Tune back with us!
 
She entertained our residents with a collection of classic hits that even got people up for a boogie!
With her interactive props and sensory twist, it was a stunning performance. We’re already looking forward to her next visit!

Easter Extravaganza

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!
