Life at Wilsmere House Care Home
Diwali Celebrations
Residents at Wilsmere House had a brilliant day on Saturday 14th November, as they marked the start of the Hindu festival of Diwali, popularly known as the ‘Festival of Lights’.
Residents helped with making colourful patterned rangoli and lighting ‘diyas’—small oil lamps which are lit to signify the triumph of good over evil. Diwali honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; the lamps help Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes.
Our Head Chef prepared traditional Indian dishes, including a range of warming curries, spicy samosas, crispy bhajis and popadoms with lime pickle and chutneys followed by traditional Indian sweets, such as laddoo and barfi for the residents to enjoy.
Royal Celebrations
Wilsmere House staff and residents the celebrated 73rd wedding anniversary of the Queen and Prince Philip. Head Chef at Wilsmere prepared a special lunch to celebrate the occasion.
Halloween
Wilsmere House was a den of ghoulish activity, as the home’s spooky Halloween party got in to full swing. Staff and residents got in to the spirit of things with virtual magic show, workshop and party. There was fancy dress, music and games. Our Head Chef prepared themed cupcakes too.
Wear it Pink
Wilsmere House hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness day and fund raising event. All the staff were wearing pink to support the event.
Housekeepers Week
To celebrate International Housekeepers Week, we revived some of our childhood memories. By helping cleaning our home, we remembered how it feels to be a child again to enjoy the time together doing the same activity.
Thank you our housekeepers for maintaining our home!
International Physiotherapy Day
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, work has been more challenging and stressful. Some of us are spending the majority of our day at work, so when do we get time to look after ourselves if it is not today?
Exercising with colleagues and residents helped to boost the mood, reduce stress and keep us fit ourselves and reminded us how important physiotherapy is, both physically and mentally.
