Three sitting rooms on the ground floor enable individuals to mix with those whose company they prefer. There is a television in one area, though this holds little interest for most of our residents, who prefer to be active. Our carers encourage card games, indoor ball games, music, singing, or reading. We have a minibus, which takes groups out for a drive through the country lanes, sometimes stopping to feed ducks on a nearby pond, sometimes stopping to watch the horses cantering in the fields.

The house has its own secure gardens and grounds for residents to stroll about in whenever they like during the day. There is a network of driveways and connecting paths, with a rose garden, and plenty of flowerbeds to make the walk interesting. For the less active there are several verandas from which to enjoy the gardens and views beyond.

Every summer we hold a Garden Party with a brass band, Morris dancers and other entertainment. Residents, relatives and friends of the home all enjoy the day. The home has strong connections with the local community. Some residents go to the annual village Senior Citizen party and garden fetes.

The local vicar and priest holds services in the home. Christmas at Wardington is a very special time, with bell-ringers, carol singers and a Christmas party.
