Celebrating life at Barchester

Starting the New Year on a positive note with our first exercise class. 

Elly from Panthera Dance, engages all the residents with her energy and enthusiasm and we all had fun and felt and felt a little bit fitter by the end. Well done everybody and keep it up!

Our residents loved our Christmas quizz and fizz evening so much they requested we do it again for New Years Eve.

Happy New Year from all at Wilton Place!

Santa came to Wilton Place Care Home - Barchester Healthcare this afternoon with goodies from Reeve the Baker, our residents were pleased to see him.

Kind-hearted staff, residents and relatives came together this festive season to donate Christmas gifts to Scarlett’s Helping Hands, supporting their local children’s toy appeal.  The generous collection includes a wide range of toys, books, games and festive treats, all donated with the hope of bringing joy to children in the community who may otherwise go without this Christmas.

Wonderful local charity, Scarlett’s Helping Hands, will distribute the donated toys across the county throughout December, ensuring that children facing difficult circumstances still experience the magic and warmth of Christmas.

Wilton C of E Primary School visited us at Wilton Place and we all enjoyed some lovely Christmas Carols sung by the children they also visited some of the residents in their rooms who really appreciated the festive singing.

This week the residents enjoyed a wonderful evening of cheese and wine prepared and hosted by Hayley the Head Chef and Fiona our Activities Coordinator. A fabulous evening was enjoyed by everyone.

Staff and residents joined fellow keen quizzers from over 250 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to put their collective Christmas music knowledge to the test.

The Barchester Big Christmas Music Quiz took place over the festive period where we got super competitive and took on our sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital had the best quizzers. It was a festive episode of our Barchester Goes Gaming quiz, an exciting quiz to test our Christmas musical knowledge and see who is the biggest brainbox of them all, the homes battled it out to find out who would prevail.
