Activities at Wimborne Care Home

We celebrated and marked Remembrance Day at Wimborne, with a trip to Fort Nelson Royal Armouries Museum. Our residents were part of talk on the history of the day and how it changed the landscape. 

We then had the pleasure of watching a parade and all of our residents were front row so they had the best seats!

We don't need an excuse here at Wimborne to get creative, even better in the spooky season too.

There is nothing frightening about our residents, luckily the spooky season is another chance to have fun and bring the home together. 

We think our pumpkin carvers did an amazing job and everyone who did so, had so much fun!

Our resident pet therapy dog Rufus made a pooch stop to see our residents and no doubt take part in some tummy rubs and tickles.

Rufus ensures that he is the centre of attention with his posing, paws and smiles and each and every one of our residents get to spend a bit of time with him. 

He is a show stopping dog, with such a wonderful charm and really lights up the home - he even knows how to work every angle of the camera being so photogenic. 

It really is a dogs (Rufus) life!

FOUR!

Some of our residents took to the driving range to practice their swing and teeing off at the local golf course on Hayling Island.

We had such a great time learning how to tee off again, aiming for the targets and secretly competing for who can manage the longest range.  

Golf is such a skilled game and our residents were able to showcase those talents with their incredible shots, all whilst smiling and having a brilliant time!

Here at Wimborne, our residents get to spend time with the tots from Muddy Boots, local to the island.

The group that come along to our home have such a wonderful time, creating such brilliant stories and interacting with our residents without any hesitation.

Our residents get so much from their whirlwind visit, no sofa is left un-sat on and every single resident gets to talk to the tots. 

They even enjoy listening to story time too!

A lot of residents here at Wimborne are very green fingered but none more so than our lovely June. Sunflowers were always her favourite so she pioneered with our head of maintenance Gary to buy a mixture of sun flower seeds and helped everyone plant and grow their sunflower. Throughout the summer she has made sure they are all watered and growing nicely in the sunshine but it was time to crown our winners. There was a winner for prettiest sunflower, tallest sunflower and the biggest head. Everyone was so pleased to watch their sunflowers grow throughout the summer and June was so proud to share her passion of gardening and love for sunflowers to the rest of our home.
