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
Shakespeare Day
Residents celebrated Shakespeare Day in style with a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon in honour of the world’s greatest playwright. The residents had a lovely minibus trip to the home town of William Shakespeare. During the day, they enjoyed fish and chips by the river, had a lovely wonder through the high street where they picked up some delicious treats from the old fashioned sweet shop and visited Shakespeare’s place of birth. A wonderful day was had by all.
Songbook Cafe
Music is a great way to boost mood and wellbeing and residents have a fabulous time at the songbook cafe, were we listen to war time songs and pub singalongs, whilst making lots of noise with our musical instruments and being expressive through music!
VE Day
We celebrated this historic day with a garden party, residents enjoyed live music thanks to the wonderful Bill James and a delicious spread of cakes followed by strawberries and cream
A Little Bit of What You Fancy
The home organised a tour of the local town where residents once lived, revisiting all the places they used to go, from shops to pubs and parks. Reminiscing about fond memories of days gone by and how the town has since changed. Afterwards we stopped by McDonalds drive thru, a wish made by resident Mark. This was greatly enjoyed and tasted just how he remembered it.
Easter Time
We were delighted to have the local primary school join us for an Easter egg hunt in the garden, the residents buddied up with the children to help find all the hidden eggs and shared stories together, it was such a joy to hear the sounds of children playing. Easter festivities continued throughout the week with, Easter bonnet making, flower arranging, Easter services, and of course plenty of hot cross buns. Easter Sunday saw the Easter bunny and it’s helper who visited all the residents with chocolate treats to enjoy!
All Aboard
Residents had a wonderful day out riding on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire steam railway. The home took two minibuses filled with excited residents to ride on the steam train! The train travelled from Toddington to Cheltenham and then onto to Broadway, passing the wonderful sights of the rolling cotswolds. A picnic lunch was enjoyed along the journey, with delicious sandwiches, scones and strawberries and cream
