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.

Grand Day Out
Residents and staff travelled from Banbury to Birmingham on the train and spent the morning enjoying the culture of Birmingham. Residents were amazed at how the city had changed throughout the years. The Hippodrome is a spectacular theatre, steeped in history. Before taking our seats we ordered drinks and ice-creams to enjoy during the interval. It was a spellbinding performance to watch, with beautiful costumes and amazing performances by all the ballet dancers. After the performance finished we enjoyed dining out before catching the train home. It is so lovely to be able to visit places like this and soak up the atmosphere

Coffee and Alpacas
We held our Macmillan coffee morning and were delighted to be joined by the children from Chacombe primary school, and some special furry friends too!
Residents were greeted by some beautiful Alpacas. They were able to stroke their incredibly soft fur, feed them and learn all about where they come from, their diet and their habits. Both residents and children adored spending time with them.
