Life at Worplesdon View Care Home
Piano Concert
In the care home, residents gathered for a piano concert performed by Chris our pianist. The pianist's fingers danced over the keys, filling the room with our favourite melodies which we could sing and tap along to. Faces lit up with joy stirred by familiar tunes. We will look forward to Chris coming back again in a few months’ time!
Father's Day
In Worplesdon View care home, residents celebrated Father's Day with joys and smiles. During group activities they shared stories, laughter, and enjoyed some beers together. Children and grandchildren visited, bringing warmth and joy in the home. The day ended with a special celebration of Father’s Day, leaving everyone with smiles and hearts full of cherished moments.
British Flower Week
In the vibrant festivities of British Flower Week we have been engaging in the therapeutic activity of flower arranging. We had great fun smelling, admiring and learning about different types of flowers. Our residents at Worplesdon View always enjoy sitting together and partaking in activities that require creativity, imagination and teamwork.
VE Day Celebration
David's lively tunes filled the air, bringing smiles to everyone's faces as we danced and sang along. The nostalgic melodies of the accordion transported us back in time, evoking memories of joy and unity. It was heart-warming to see our residents come together, sharing stories and laughter, creating new memories that will be cherished for years to come. David's presence truly added a special touch to our VE Day celebrations, and we are grateful for his talent and enthusiasm. We look forward to more unforgettable moments with him in the future. Thank you, David, for bringing your music and spreading happiness among us.
Garden Centre Trip
Exploring Clandon Park Garden Centre was a delightful experience indeed! The aromatic scent of eucalyptus wafting through the air added a touch of tranquillity to our visit. Pausing for a cosy cup of tea and indulging in a delicious slice of cake was the perfect way to recharge. Meeting old friends unexpectedly made the day even more special, filling our hearts with warmth and joy. It just goes to show that a leisurely afternoon stroll can truly brighten our spirits and create cherished memories to treasure.
Toddler Play Morning
It's been such a joy to spend time with these amazing child minders and the adorable children in their care, at our new monthly event. The energy and laughter in the room were infectious as we explored an array of toys, sang songs, and even discovered new hidden features on our rainbow table, thanks to the curious little ones. It's moments like these that remind us of the magic and wonder that children bring into our lives every day.
