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.

Life at Worplesdon View Care Home
World Chocolate Day
This isn't a day many of us will need much persuasion to celebrate, and there are many ways we can to it. To celebrate the World Chocolate Day, our residents were able to enjoy a chocolate party with a chocolate testing contest, a singalong and a lecture on the history of the Dairy Milk bar.
Royal Ascot
Residents and staff at Worplesdon had their bets at the ready for Royal Ascot, which ran from 16th – 20th June. The racing fans at Worplesdon weren’t phased by the current situation, as they had the opportunity to enjoy the event from the comfort of their own armchair.
Residents and staff got together to watch the races, and also celebrated in a very Royal Ascot fashion with music and decorations and cocktails.
Royal Celebrations
On Saturday June 13th, the Queen celebrated her second, and official birthday. Our residents were asked to design a birthday cake in honour of Her Majesty's big day. It was a lot of fun designing the cake. It’s not every day we get to design a cake fit for the Queen!
Carers Week
We held a day of celebration to thank care staff at the home, who make a real difference to the lives of those in their care.
The staff were treated with basket of goodies, put together by our residents, and a thank you card. They also were treated to some pizzas from the staff fund. Our residents loved the fact that they were able show their gratitude to our staff.
International Museum Day goes Virtual!
Ever wanted to visit the British Museum in London? The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam? The Guggenheim in New York City? The residents of Worplesdon View Care Home did just that, and all from the comfort of their own armchairs, through virtual reality!
RHS Chelsea Flower Show Celebrations
An international pandemic was not going to let our residents at Worplesdon View stop celebrating this event! In celebration of the show our residents planted their own sunflowers. Our residents love to look after our garden. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and we had loads of fun.
