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
Burns Night
To celebrate Burns Night, residents made their own Tipsy Laird puddings, which they were able to taste after high tea – and a tipple of whiskey was on offer for those who wanted it.
Tropical Discovery
Kris from Tropical Discovery came to visit residents with a variety of reptiles and insects. Residents were all given the opportunity to stroke and handle them as we learnt fascinating facts about each of the different species.
Garden Centre Visit
Residents enjoyed a trip to Trowbridge Garden Centre with afternoon tea in the café. We all loved looking at the beautiful plants there before heading home in the minibus.
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day brings our nation together in respect and admiration of all our heroes who fought for our country. Many residents themselves have memories of their families who were involved and, as such, we thrive to commemorate through not only reminiscence, but also poetry and craft work.
Halloween
Pumpkin carving, fancy dress and trick or treating all brought back fond memories of our childhood. We love celebrating Halloween at The Wingfield and a whole array of activities were enjoyed by residents leading up to and during Halloween. They also enjoyed giving sweets to our spooky little trick or treaters!
Denim4Dementia
The Denim4Dementia event was created by Alzheimer's Support in order to raise awareness for dementia and raise funds for the admirable work that they do. The Wingfield naturally took part in this event, with staff members and relatives dressed in denim as a symbol of support.
