Activities at Wilton Place Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Gardening Club Venture Out

Another jaunt out on our minibus.
This time gardening club headed off to Salisbury Garden Centre to stock up on supplies, some essential and some edible!
It was good to blow away the cobwebs whilst dodging the wind and showers!

Cheers or should it be Prost?

German wine tasting with Paula, cheers! Local Wilton company 'Ways with Wine', once again sharing expert knowledge and wonderful wines with our residents and their families. A convivial evening of German adventure accompanied with Chef's Homemade nibbles included rye bread, wurst and German cheese. Delicious.One resident made a point of commenting on how impressed she was with Paula's knowledge, another said she could easily pair each type of wine with a close friend or family member. Next time we're off to Italy! Good food, good company and good wine!

Beautiful Beads

Did you know our residents can take part in weekly craft sessions such as art, flower arranging, cookery and more? These sessions increase creativity and develop new skills. This week, we hosted a lovely 'Beads' activity, which, as you can see, was enjoyed by all. It was great for hand eye coordination and dexterity. Residents chose to make bespoke items to wear or decorate their rooms.
