Activities at Wilsmere House Care Home

Here at Wilsmere, we held our very own Talent Show. We had so much fun planning and organizing this show for all our staff and residents.

Thank you to all our participants and congratulations to Melisa Findlay who won 1st place, Raluca Rosculet who won 2nd place and Olasupo Komolafe a great 3rd place. 

A huge thank you to our Maintenance team who built the stage specifically for the event, massive thanks to our Chef and Kitchen team for the delicious Barbecue. The delicious food kept us all full whilst waiting for our Judges, Regional Director-Wayne Hughes, General Manager-Lili Cocue and our Resident ambassador-John Bakerto to make their decision.

Last but not least, thank you to our Clinical Deputy Manager, Laxmi Gurung who drove the idea for months encouraging our colleagues to participate and to our Life enrichment trainer, and Ben, for supporting us through the whole process.

Here at Wilsmere, we have been celebrating success. We would like to give a massive congratulations to our lovely nurse Carina who has been shortlisted as a finalist at the National Care Awards 2024 for Nurse of the Year!

Carina joined Wilsmere House in 2013 and has since become unit manager of our Memory Lane community and one of our Dementia Champions. We want to thank Carina for her hard work and the care she delivers to our residents.

We are hugely proud of her achievements and will be rooting for her at the awards on 29th November!

The talented tenor Harry Kersley - Classical Tenor, returned to Wilsmere today to share his incredible voice with us over Cheese and Prosecco. 

Our residents thoroughly enjoyed his performance! 

Thank you Harry, for bringing so much joy to our residents, we can't wait for your next visit!

Oh we do love to be beside the seaside!

Here at Wilsmere, we weren't able to get to the beach today so we brought the beach to us! 

Our residents enjoyed beach games, played with the sand and listened to sounds of the sea and what better way to end the day than with some good old seaside chips.

Big thanks to our Activities team for a lovely day, our residents had lots of fun!

A huge thank you as always to Performing Pets who bought along Scooby the pony, much to the delight of our residents. We also had budgies and our residents really enjoyed holding them.

Animal therapy has been shown to improve the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of others, stimulating memories and encouraging social interaction.

Our residents always enjoy their monthly visits and we are already looking forward to the next one!

Here at Wilsmere, we have a sensory trolley which is a portable cart that contains sensory equipment to create a multi-sensory environment for our residents, which they love.

Residents can enjoy smells and sounds of the garden, as well as aromatherapy and sounds of the sea.

The residents have soothing hand massages and have their nails painted, along with many other relaxing activities.

They love being pampered, and who wouldn't, they deserve it!
