Activities at The Wingfield Care Home
Here at The Wingfield our activities team provide a varied and interesting range of activities for all residents. We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) and we take pride in delivering activities that will enhance residents lives and bring happiness and a sense of purpose. Our cooking activities are very popular, as well as the regular book clubs, coffee mornings, skittle matches and bus trips. We provide one to one support for those who are unable to attend activities and we have tea dances, musicians, quizzes, music and movement, as well as our giant scrabble board! But most importantly we have fun! Relatives are always welcome and there is always much laughter and smiling faces during our activities. We take pride in what we do and we continually strive to enhance residents lives through meaningful activity.

Life at The Wingfield Care Home
Pen-Pal Friends
Residents are overwhelmed with all the cards, posters and inspirational stories they received from local schools and children. It gave extra joy for our residents. It is really remarkable especially with this current crisis. Thank you.
Baking Club
Our residents are always looking forward for enjoyable Monday afternoon especially for the bakers. The emphasis of Baking Club is to support each other who love to bake.
It gave a chance to our residents to be creative. Weighing, mixing and decorating brought back fond memories of baking for our residents.
Wingfield Go Wild
We were recently visited by Tropical Discovery. It has been noticeable that interacting with animals causes elevation to mood and increased energy levels, as well as promoting social behaviour to our residents. It is very rewarding to observe residents reactions with animals large or small including reptiles and insects.
Different animals bring different textures and personalities to the sessions. Animal Therapy was shown specifically decrease distressing behaviour to our residents.
Toddler Group Performs at the Lodge
We all love the visits of Maranatha Toddler Music Melody Makers group, lots of singing, clapping and laughter filled the room. The group offered a ball parachute playing which helps in improving strength and agility to our residents. Residents have fun with tea party after the performance.
Magic Table
The Wingfield are proud to have recently had a Magic Table installed, which is an interactive light projector, designed to support residents living with dementia by keeping them engaged through specialised games. To celebrate, we launched the Magic Table with members of staff from Wiltshire College Health and Social Care and Alzheimer’s Society joining in in with residents.
Trip to Dilton Marsh
We all enjoyed a lovely afternoon trip to Dilton Marsh Fairways Café. We were spoiled with delicious cakes and enjoyed the scenic drive back.
