Life at The Wingfield Care Home
Scoops of Joy: Ice Cream Van Visit
Our recent Open Day was made even sweeter by a special surprise that brought smiles all around—an ice cream van parked up right outside our home, ready to serve scoops of happiness to everyone!
From residents to staff and visiting families, no one could resist the tempting chime of the van as it arrived. With the sun shining and the scent of freshly made cones in the air, we all felt like little children again. One of our lovely ladies said: "I haven't had an ice cream from the van in years!".
For our residents, the visit brought back fond memories of summer days and trips to the seaside, with many sharing stories of their favourite ice cream flavours from childhood. Staff joined in the fun too, enjoying a well-earned treat alongside the residents, while visitors appreciated the cheerful, relaxed vibe it added to the day.
Events like these create joyful experiences and bring us all together, reminding us that it’s the little things—a sunny day, a cool cone, and shared laughter—that make life so special.
A huge thank you to our fabulous "Ice Queen Van" and everyone who joined us. We’ll definitely be welcoming the van back again soon!
Celebrating Aintree Ladies Day
Lovely ladies at The Wingfield enjoyed a fabulous day of fashion, fun, and a little fizz as as we celebrated Aintree Ladies Day in true style.
The atmosphere was full of excitement as our residents were treated to a morning of pampering. With hair brushed, nails polished, and a touch of makeup, everyone was feeling fabulous and ready for the festivities. Beautiful hats and fascinators were the order of the day, and the smiles on everyone’s faces said it all as they admired each other’s outfits and shared compliments.
Ladies Day is all about glamour, confidence, and celebration—and our residents certainly rose to the occasion. After the preparations, it was time to relax, watch the racing, and raise a glass. A little wine and some delicious treats added to the sense of occasion, with one of the ladies saying: "It looks like we're going to the wedding!".
Events like this aren’t just a chance to dress up—they’re opportunities for self-expression, social connection, and lifting spirits. The sparkle in everyone’s eyes reminded us just how powerful a bit of pampering and shared joy can be.
It was a wonderful day of elegance and enjoyment, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s celebrations. After all, a little glamour never goes out of style!
Green Fingers and Sunshine!
With the return of the warmer weather, our Gardening Club is back in full swing—and what a joy it is to see our residents outside, soaking up the sunshine and getting their hands in the soil once more.
The garden was full of life as our residents gathered around pots, ready to bring a burst of colour to our outdoor spaces. With gloves on and trowels in hand, they planted a beautiful selection of flowers, filling the air with the fresh scent of soil and spring blooms.
Gardening is more than just a hobby here—it’s a meaningful activity that brings many benefits. It promotes physical movement, stimulates the senses, and offers a peaceful sense of purpose and pride. For many of our residents, it also evokes fond memories of time spent in their own gardens, connecting them to cherished moments from the past.
The Gardening Club is a time to unwind, engage with nature, and enjoy each other’s company. It’s so lovely to see friendships blossom alongside the flowers, and everyone left with a sense of accomplishment—and a few specks of soil on their sleeves!
We’re looking forward to watching the pots flourish over the coming weeks and seeing our garden come to life with colour, just like the smiles of those who planted them.
Music and Movement Toddler Group
For the second time this year the Wingfield care home welcomed a group of local toddlers and their parents for a visit, joining our residents for a music and movement exercise class.
The group was organised by a local company called Magical Music and Movement classes and lovely lady called Lucy helped us run this event.
The room was lively with singing, clapping, and gentle dancing as generations shared the experience. The children’s energy brought a fresh sense of fun, while the residents enjoyed the chance to engage, move, and connect. These visits promote well-being and building bonds across generations.
We’re grateful to the parents and little ones for spending time with us and look forward to more opportunities to come together.
St Patrick's Day Fun!
Residents at the Wingfield care home had a wonderful time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
The festivities included dressing up in green attire and accessorizing with fun hats and shamrocks. They enjoyed indulging in golden chocolate coins, which added a sweet touch to the celebrations. Many spent the afternoon colouring St. Patrick’s Day-themed books, creating vibrant rainbows, leprechauns, and pots of gold.
Celebrating cultural events like St. Patrick’s Day is important in our home, as it sparks memories, and promotes social interaction, and most of all- gives us an opportunity to smile! It also offered our residents the chance to learn about and appreciate different traditions, taste some delicious Irish snacks and foster a sense of community.
Animals Therapy Session
Residents and staff at The Wingfield were delighted to receive a visit from A Million Memories Pony Parties and Therapy.
Daisy and Jammy brightened everyone's afternoon and filled the home with such excitement and joy. The adorable ponies were gentle and affectionate and the residents loved getting to know them and being able to get close enough to stroke and cuddle them.
Animal therapy sessions have many benefits for both the mind and body and they are always a big hit at the home. The ponies' calming presence eases loneliness and brings joy, offering emotional comfort and sense of connection to nature.
Massive thank you from everyone at our home to owner Kelly and daughter Farrah for helping make the visit so special. We can't wait to see you again in the near future.
