Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Morgan Dowie
Hi, my name is Morgan and I joined the Chacombe Park life enrichment team in January 2025. I love getting to know our residents, and I'm extremely passionate about their continued wellbeing and enjoy providing tailored activities that stimulate happiness, and continued fulfilment.
Prior to joining Chacombe Park, I worked as a Senior Carer, and hold an NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care. Outside of work, I’m a wife and mother to our beautiful little girl. Originally from Birmingham our little family has now settled in Banbury. Living life to the full is my motto, and I wish to instil this in all our residents, whatever your ability there is something new to learn or try. Life is for enriching and enjoyment.
I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones. We are always open to new ideas, if you'd like to contact me please call the home on 01295 712001 or email me direct on: Chacombe.Activities@barchester.com - New entertainers always welcome.

Life at Chacombe Park Care Home
Easter Service and Celebration Eggs
Easter celebrations at Chacombe Park, a great day for all the residents.
Residents that are members of the Christian faith celebrated the resurrection of Jesus by attending holy communion service which was led by Father Nicholas Leggett; Nick from St Peter & St Paul Church.
The Easter bunny had a very busy day delivering Easter eggs to all the residents which, put a smile on their faces. Our residents also enjoyed some time out doors, soaking up the sunshine.
Becketts Farm Fun
Today we had a wonderful day out visiting Becketts Farm in Wythall!
From seeing the lovely farm animals, browsing the farm shop, easter crafts and then finishing off with a tasty meal, it was a trip filled with smiles and great memories. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the day and so did staff. Thank you to Becketts Farm for the warm welcome.
Aircrafts and Ice Creams
We took some of our lovely residents out to Hinton Skydiving Centre and airfield today, we watched lots of small aircraft taking off into the sky! They also enjoyed sitting outside the cafe eating ice cream in the sunshine.
Birthday Celebration and Beautiful Walks
We had another Birthday celebration this week, this time for our lovely resident Pauline who was presented with a delicious cake made by our chef!
Her birthday celebrations were made even more special as she go to share he cake with her husband and daughter.
With the spring sunshine so warm outside we took the opportunity to walk some of our residents around our beautiful grounds assisted by one of our young Duke of Edinburgh volunteers; Will. The residents enjoyed chatting with him and said they loved his company.
John's Parkinson's Journey
Today, one of our amazing residents John lead a special talk to raise awareness about Parkinson’s Disease having lived with the condition himself for 16 years.
Sharing personal insights, facts, feelings and ways we can help support those living with Parkinson’s John's conversation was all about positivity and understanding.
We had a delivery of booklets from Parkinson's UK which we handed to all visitors, residents and staff to keep the conversation going- as awareness is the first step toward change!
Loving a Trip to the Local
Today we enjoyed a heartwarming pub lunch with our wonderful residents from Chacombe Park. Good food, great company, and plenty of smiles all around!
Outings like these mean so much, sharing stories, laughter and a little adventure outside the home. A big thank you to The George and Dragon Chacombe for the warm hospitality, we're already looking forward to the next one!
