Celebrating life at Barchester

At Oulton Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures. 

Our Residents enjoyed a Christmas cake baking activity. Once they had mixed and baked the cakes they created some fantastic finished cakes which all the Residents could enjoy.

Our Activities Team is dedicated to organising activities that truly engage.

At Oulton Park we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community. Life at *Care home* is about being part of the local community and enjoying life long hobbies whilst also exploring new experiences.

Oulton Rainbow Brownies visited the Residents at Oulton Park to sing some Carols and even went to sing on individual rooms visits. They created a special Christmas treat for all.

Residents at Derham house had a wonderful singalong with Ian, AKA Elvis! The Home was filled with music, smiles & plenty of dancing.

West Oak Residents and Staff had a joyful afternoon visiting their local Infant School.

Walter Infants invited us over to their lovely school for this year’s Nativity Play. From the moment we left West Oak and walked over to the school, the happiness and smiling faces of our residents were just wonderful.

Walter Infant school welcomed us all and the children’s performances throughout with their singing voices were just outstanding.

On returning back to our home, the residents enjoyed a nice hot cup of tea with a slice of home-made cake, and you can imagine the topic of conversation was all about the wonderful children and their Nativity Play.

At Alice Grange we know that being able to continue lifelong hobbies or interests is a key part of our resident's identities, and we make every effort to encourage and support each resident to be able to do so.

Our Lifestyle enrichment team hold regular art and craft classes for the Residents who love to create designs and paint artwork.

At Alice Grange we support our residents to continue with their favourite hobbies, and encourage them to share and teach others about these too.

The residents of the home enjoyed a fun afternoon of golf in our Bistro area.  We think Tiger Woods would be impressed by some of their putting skills.  We will be holding more sporting themed events in 2026 as this has been very popular among residents , guests and the staff.

We have had so much fun dancing the afternoon away! 

Joy and laughter filled the room as we also celebrated one of our lovely ladies birthdays; Happy Birthday, Muriel.

We are proud to offer this event on a monthly basis and welcome anyone to come along and boogie with us. Thanks again to Steve from Retro DJ for putting on such a great afternoon, providing us with both great music and lights! 

Our Employee of the Month Award goes to our lovely Activities Coordinator, Chloe!

Chloe always gives her best in making sure our residents have an array of activities that bring joy to all. From fantastic bus trips to all of our themed events. Chloes hard work doesnt go unnoticed and is a highly valued member of staff here at Wingfield.

We've had so much fun on our Forget Me Not unit today celebrating the New Year! Drinks were flowing and everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing!

We ended the party with a countdown and singing the traditional 'Auld Lang Syne' together. The perfect way to welcome the new year in together.
