Activities at Wheatlands Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Virtual Church Service
Residents enjoyed a virtual church service with Rev Matthew Stafford.
Reunited!
We are delighted to be able to reunite our residents with their loved ones. Our sensory garden has been redesigned to adhere to social distancing measures. It was a joy to see loved ones reunited after so many months apart.
Carers Week
Barchester has paid special tribute to all of their carers throughout the company for National Carers Week, to thank them for their dedication to the residents and patients they care for.
Wheatlands held a day of celebrations and gifts to thank care staff at the home, who make a real difference to the lives of those in their care. This included a tombola and chocolate fountain.
Beach Day
To make the most of the weather, we had a beach day. Residents enjoyed a variety of ice cream and lollies, and staff dressed up for the occasion.
