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
Gardening Club
Residents have been busy working alongside our gardener, Stefan, planting out our winter vegetables into the raised beds, watering the plants, keeping the garden tidy, pruning the plants and weeds and picking the ripe tomatoes from the green house to be enjoyed in salads and sandwiches, as well as all the handy work to keep the garden looking fabulous.
Autumn Traditions
We have a regular nature walking club here at Chacombe, encouraging residents to get out in to the fresh air to explore and learn about their surroundings and the wonderful nature that we have around us.
During walking club, we have been busy fulfilling old traditions of going blackberry picking, bringing back fond memories for the residents of days gone by, making their own blackberry jams and puddings and enjoying the fresh blackberries picked straight from the bush.
Musical Magic
We have had great live performances in the garden from saxophonist, Alan Hook and Liz and Devinder from In2Culture. The residents love having entertainers come to the home, music being a fantastic way to support emotional needs, hearing the wonderful sounds of the saxophone echoed around the garden playing familiar tunes, and learning new music from different cultures around Africa. Residents got involved clapping along, learning the songs and different traditions together.
An Honourary Team Member
Resident, Sue, loves to help out with various tasks around the home and with running activities, so we made sure that she was recognised for this by honouring her with a pink polo top to match the activities team and a box of chocolates to thank her for all her help which she was overjoyed about.
Dining Out
We headed to The Falcon at Warmington and dined in their garden on a glorious summers day. The residents had a marvelous afternoon, reminiscing about their favourite restaurants and cuisines to enjoy and enjoying the atmosphere of dining at a restaurant, enjoying simply delicious food. The restaurant has wonderful views over the countryside which we admired whilst tucking into our food.
Exploring Local History
We spent the afternoon at Broughton Castle. It is a moated and fortified manor house and is home to the 21st century Lord & Lady Saye and Sele. Residents enjoyed learning about the history of the building, its wonderful garden, spectacular views of the countryside and enjoyed delicious ice cream, cake and tea in the tea room.
