Happy Birthday Jolly 'Janet'

A very happy birthday to our lovely Janet!

Her fellow residents and staff sang 'Happy Birthday' to her as she was presented with a wonderful cake. This was made in house by our talented Head chef John.

Poetry Corner with Jon

The residents are always very happy when our volunteer Jon comes to do poetry reading to them!

Jon engages very well with the residents, they enjoy discussing the poems and what they may mean, it's just a wonderful atmosphere with great interaction.

Today’s giant parachute games brought energy and enjoyment to our residents here at Chacombe Park Care Home, supporting wellbeing through movement and games.

Community Fireworks Evening

We would like to say a massive thank you to Radio Horton and everyone who joined us at Chacombe Park for our spectacular Community Fireworks Display on Friday 7th November! 

We had such a wonderful evening celebrating with our staff, residents, and those from Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare.

Being able to host such a community event in our grounds reminds us of how lucky we are to be in such a beautiful location. One that allows us to welcome so many families, friends and guests from our surrounding communities. 

Your presence made it truly special! 

Happy Birthday Marvelous 'Mari'

Today Mari celebrated her birthday along with family and friends with a rendition of Happy Birthday and a delicious cake made by the talented head chef Jorge.

Mari was joined by her Son who had travelled over from the Isle of Man, who of course Mari was really pleased to see and her Son-in-law. In the morning Mari had her daughter also visit with the pet dog.

Mari enjoyed tucking in to the cake along with her son who both agreed it was delicious! 

Celebrating birthdays reminds individuals that they are seen, valued and part of a community and helps strengthen relationships, lifts spirits and increases happiness.
