Life at The Wingfield Care Home
Staff and residents fully vaccinated
All staff and residents at The Wingfield, are delighted to have received both doses of their Covid-19 vaccinations at the home with local GP surgery leading the vaccinations, after what has been a very challenging year for everyone we couldn't be happier. We finished the day with a celebration toast.
108th Birthday Celebrations
It was a great privilege to host and be part of Madge's 108th birthday. She received gifts, flowers and cards spanning across the country. She had a day like no other. After being interviewed by BBC Wiltshire, she was treated to her own personal Zoom concert by local group Muzical Entertainerz. She finished the day with a meal and a little glass of fizz.
Pancake Day Fun
We had some good old fashioned fun with on pancake day, we flipped, we dipped and we ate. There were some unusual creations that were made and the flipping competition bought out the competitive side to some too.
Celebrating Chinese New Year
This year we celebrated Chinese New Year by decorating the home, sharing a delicious oriental feast all prepared and served by our chef. We then made and gave traditional good luck charms and watched videos of dancing dragons and lions. Marion said " I always love learning about different cultures and traditions and the videos were fascinating to watch."
Residents and Staff receive Covid 19 Vaccination
Residents were delighted to receive their first dose of the Corona virus vaccine without having to leave the home. Trowbridge Health Centre led the vaccinations. Peter General Manger said "The health centre were fantastic they put everyone at ease and made them feel comfortable. We are so grateful for their support."
Making new friends through pen pals
Students from local schools wanted to fulfil an act of kindness by setting up a Pen Pal Scheme. They have started writing to residents at The Wingfield. Students from St. John school and The Mead wrote lovely letters and painted pictures which were hand delivered by their Teachers. Residents were thrilled to read all about them and enjoyed writing back with a thank you card.
