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
Tour De Barchester
Chacombe Park welcomed the Tour De Barchester. Riders took on a mammoth 211 mile ride across the country raising money for Barchester’s charitable foundation. Our hospitality team laid on a delicious breakfast spread day, including bacon butties, fresh pastries and fresh fruit to keep the cyclists well fuelled and the school children came along to help cheer the cyclists on, enjoying breakfast with us too. Congratulations Team Barchester!
Lavender fields
The team organised a minibus trip to The Cotswold Lavender fields, were residents enjoyed a delicious picnic amongst the sea of purple before exploring fields full of various types of lavender, enjoying the beautiful aromas of the lavender flowers and taking a walk on the wild side in the wildflower meadow, which was filled with poppies, cornflowers, daisies and more, it was simply beautiful.
Seasonal fruit picking
Residents enjoyed a wonderful day out at our local PYO farm where they picked punnets of beautifully red strawberries, which were later enjoyed with fresh cream and a cup of tea.
Jubilee Celebrations
The day started with watching the trooping of the colour before we came together in the garden and the balconies for the big lunch. Residents enjoyed a street style party in the garden alongside friends and family. There was a delicious spread of food prepared by our chefs, including hot dogs, burgers, coronation chicken sandwiches, classic picnic selections as well as delicious berry fruit salad. The garden bar was serving Pimms and non-alcoholic punches and later in the afternoon ice cream cones and Victoria sponge were served alongside tea and coffee. We were joined by the fantastic Alan Hook and his Saxophone for an afternoon of live entertainment and the children happily played the garden games throughout the afternoon. It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee
