Life at Wispington

Interests don't retire

A place to feel at home. A place to thrive.

Our activity coordinators are here to make sure every resident's interests and hobbies are catered for — and to help them find new ones.

Keeping in touch

See what we’ve been up to

We put photographs and news on our Facebook page as things happen — the singer who came in at Christmas, the tomatoes, somebody’s hundredth birthday. It is the truest picture of daily life here.

Carrying on

Whatever you did before, keep doing it

When someone moves in, one of the first conversations we have is about what they used to do with their week. Wherever it is possible, we help them carry on — and we will help source the materials and equipment to make it happen, whether that is wool, seed trays, a card table or a subscription to the right magazine.

Our extensive grounds are ideal for a walk, and the raised beds mean residents can carry on gardening without kneeling down. Residents go out for walks and into the local area as and when the weather and the diary allow, and there is a hairdresser on site for everyone, including day care and respite guests.
