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
A Trip to the Fair
Come rain or shine, nothing was going to stop us enjoying our annual trip to the Banbury Michaelmas Fair. Residents soaked up the atmosphere, won their annual teddy at hook-a-duck and picked up a toffee apple to enjoy.
Blenheim Place
Residents visited Blenheim Palace to listen to the organ recitals, this was particular poignant, hearing some of HM Queen Elizabeth II favourite hymns being played as well as the national anthem
Black Country Living Museum
Residents stepped back in time and exploring reconstructed shops, pubs and houses from the industrial revolution and attended a lesson in the school, which brought back memories of days gone by. Residents enjoyed traditional fish and chips cooked in beef dripping and visited the old fashioned sweet shop.
Ice-cream delight
The team organised for a vintage ice cream van to visit the home for all residents and staff to enjoy.
Adventures in the minibus
Residents love to visit and explore new places, this month they have enjoyed visiting Coventry Cathedral where they learnt about the vast history of the old Cathedral and the stark difference between the old and the new modernised Cathedral, residents were also able to join a short service of prayer in the Cathedral. We have also been out Sunflower picking at Glebe Farm, the field was full of gorgeous sunflowers and residents were able to pick their own stems to bring home.
Making wishes come true
Team members make a wish to come true, resident Wendy spoke about how she’d love to go swimming again, so we did just that. The team organised an outing to the open air swimming pool in Banbury, where Wendy enjoyed a morning in the pool followed by hot chocolate and cake on the pools edge.
