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
And now for Something Completely Different!
The Wingfield's Summer Party will be remembered for Twister Jamie and his flames! What a great performance thoroughly enjoyed by all. There were some more traditional aspects afternoon tea and an icecream van all topped off with singing from the wonderful Shannon Kitchen. A great fun packed afternoon.
Fizz's Visit a Delight
The Wingfield were delighted to welcome Pets as Therapy dog Fizz. She really was such a delight, meeting the residents and team and we are very fortunate she has agreed to return! Pet therapy has so many benefits including lowering blood pressure, lifting mood and encouraging interaction. Thank you so much Fizz for a wonderful visit.
Trowbridge Museum Village
The Wingfield were delighted to welcome David from Trowbridge Museum for a Reminiscence Session. Residents in The Lodge found David’s talk very enjoyable and we all learnt something new! The residents have asked that this is a regular event going forward and we have booked further sessions including a Halloween themed one!
Monday Morning Knitting
A group of ladies had a wonderful Monday morning knitting, we are looking into setting up a regular knit and natter group as we have many residents who enjoy crochet and knitting.
Exercise Followed by a Treat!
Residents really enjoy the weekly Gfitness classes, with a trained instructor specialising in those with limited mobility the classes very much focus on what our residents can do. We all know the importance of keeping active; we also know a little of what you fancy is good for us all, so after our morning of exercise in the afternoon we made Rice Crispy cakes! A real treat with our afternoon cup of tea.
Tropical Discovery Workshop
Today residents took part in a tropical discovery workshop. With a selection of exotic animals not only did everyone get to meet these amazing creatures, we also learnt about their natural habitat.
