Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Chacombe Park Care Home
Outing to Birdland
On 11th October, our residents and activity team enjoyed an outing to ‘Birdland Park & Gardens’ situated in Bourton on the Water. Our residents enjoyed the drive down to the park, taking in all the scenery. They got particularly lucky with the weather and enjoyed the autumnal sunshine. The residents had a wonderful time walking around the park and admiring the beautiful birds and parklands. Afterwards everyone enjoyed a sandwich and coffee at the park café.

Pub Lunch
Our residents enjoyed a lovely outing to the local pub in Chacombe for a spot of lunch.
It was a lovely atmosphere, and the residents enjoyed chatting among themselves whilst enjoying some delicious food. It washed down well with a good pint of beer!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves , and one of our residents, David W even said it was the best burger he’s had for quite some time! We cant wait to go back again.
Grandparents Day
On 6th October our residents celebrated grandparents day, the day was filled with love and it was lovely to see families spending time together, sharing stories, and sharing precious quality time between grandparents and their loved grandchildren.
Our residents spent a day during the week doing something slightly different, to show their love and gratitude to their grandchildren. The activity team helped by printing off lovely photographs, and residents handmade cards and letters, expressing their love and pride towards their grandchildren.
The team helped by sending these out in the post ready for Sunday.
It is always lovely to see family coming together for special occasions, and there is something even more magical watching 2 generations connecting!
Old traditions!
We enjoyed a wonderful summers afternoon watching the very talented Ironman and severn guilders Morris dancers group. Morris dancing is a form of English Folk dance performed at seasonal festivals to ‘Banish the dark of winter, celebrate the warmth and fertility of summer and bring in autumns golden harvest’. Residents enjoy a talk about the traditions of Morris dancing followed by a fantastic afternoon of dance. They where delighted when family and staff where invited to join in. Jackie loved to watch her son take part she said ‘The memories of his two left feet will live with me forever’ residents also enjoyed General Manager Lea-Ann Littler and Activities Coordinator Katie Macey giving it a go they all had a good giggle with their lack of coordination. At the end of the event the ladies enjoyed receiving a flower and feather each out of the performers headwear.
60th Wedding celebrations
Mr & Mrs Palmer have just celebrated 60 years of marriage together!
Their loved ones, along with the staff at Chacombe Park all came together to celebrate this joyful occasion. The couple were joined by their family and all enjoyed a stunning 3 course meal cooked by our head chef, Charlene. It was a wonderful day of celebration and love where the family shared memories together and reminisced on the past 60 years spent together. Staff decorated the room with an extra special touch to commemorate their diamond anniversary. The couple were overwhelmed by the love they felt, and it was made even more magical with special post from the King himself.
