Activities at Wilton Place Care Home
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.

Life at Wilton Place Care Home
Making wishes come true!
When Josephine came to look at our home with her daughter, they mentioned how much they would miss making their Christmas Pudding together if Josephine came to live at Wilton Place. A family tradition over the years that was enjoyed immensely by both Mother and Daughter.
Josephine did come and live with us!
Antoinette, Home Manager made a note of the conversation and as November drew closer she invited Josephine's daughter to come in and make the family Pud.
Hayley, Head Chef was onboard and enjoyed an afternoon with the ladies and other residents too
A truly magical moment!
Christmas Cake time!
Its that time of year again, and it is all about getting ready for Christmas and some of our ladies were keen to start their Christmas cake baking!
Hayley our Head Chef and Jenny one of the carers were there to assist and the afternoon was a great success for all concerned.
Just like being at home but without the washing up!
Baking in the Bistro
Sometimes it's just good fun to spend time together.
Baking and Word games in the Bistro were the order of the day. Good company, good friends and engaging activities.
Oktoberfest
The evening culminated in residents, families and staff joining together to celebrate and enjoy beer sampling, bratwurst and bockwurst canapes with rye bread and German cheese. Pretzels and Peffernusse were also on offer along with various mustards and sauerkraut.
The traditional folk music - Volksmusik (music of the people) was the perfect backdrop to the frivolities, a fabulous evening was had by all. It was great fun and was a great way to brighten up an autumnal evening.
Movement to Music
Fun and laughter in the Cinema room today as Angela, our Activities Coordinator hosted singing and dancing for our residents.
Everyone participated enthusiastically and enjoyed the opportunity for a sing-a-along.
