Activities at Worplesdon View
The activities team at Worplesdon View organise and run activities and events for large groups, small groups and individual residents. We include relatives, volunteers and the remaining staff whenever possible and encourage choice and participation from everyone we support. Our programme is planned in advance and is is designed provide tailored, meaningful activities for residents to participate in that will stimulate all senses, whist encouraging mental and physical well-being. We have an activity plan for all residents, and of course, this changes with the needs of each person to keep it up-to-date and useful. Worplesdon View is a fun and dynamic place to live and work, and the secret to this is that everyone is encouraged to see activities as part of their role in the home so that residents are happy and always have something to do.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Worplesdon View Care Home
Celebrating Love
Love is all we need and this helped us create a display centred around “love” to highlight Valentine’s Day. We created it with the help and support of family and friends by sharing pictures that draw attention to all kinds of love. We have shared pictures from partner love, family love, pet love through to just companionship.
As we all experience our own journeys of love with our partners, siblings, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, pets and/or good friends we get to learn more about the love around us and what keeps each and every one of us going through the good and especially the more challenging times!
Food Bank Donations
Today we delivered the food donations we have been collecting from residents, families and staff to North Guildford Food Bank in support of those struggling in these challenging times.
2022 has been a busy year for North Guildford Food Bank but due to their dedicated volunteers, and the generosity of donors, they have been able to help meet the needs of those needing emergency help.
On collection of parcels, tea, coffee, and cake is available and a listening ear - everyone is welcome to stay but not obliged to. Those less able to collect can arrange for parcels to be delivered on Wednesdays.
Thank you to everyone that donated, and we would love to continue supporting this food bank so please continue to donate any food you can over the coming months.
Traditional Seaside Show
Recently, our residents, family and friends got to enjoy a traditional show of Punch & Judy. It brought back some great memories of seaside holidays and memories of years past. These shows were known as a “staple of the British seaside scene” for adult audiences. Direction then changed to children’s entertainment.
Since the Victoria times puppeteers (also known as “professor” or “punchman”) would hide in the booth and perform with two characters, mainly Mr Punch and Judy and some other characters. The show included a variety of “episodes” which provoked much laughter from the clowning around of Mr Punch.
