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
Be Free Young Carers
Residents and team members have been cycling alongside their sister home, Southerndown, to support a cyclethon challenge, raising money for Be Free Young Carers.
During the course of the challenge, the home will be cycling 124 miles. Residents have had great fun cycling on the YouBike and following a virtual countryside video, which really gives them motivation to cycle those few extra miles.
Later in the week, we had a Hawaiian-themed party to celebrate the arrival of Southerndown on their first leg of the journey, enjoying delicious fruit smoothies, fruit cocktails and refreshing with fresh fruit skewers.
Mothering Sunday
Residents spent the morning reminiscing about Mother’s Day and how times have changed through the years, all whilst enjoying a sherry before lunch.
Throughout the morning, the home gifted several afternoon tea boxes filled with sandwiches, fresh scones, brownies, fruit tarts, chocolate and sweets to our community.
The residents enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea and music and were delighted to have received a chocolate bouquet from Bealey’s Bouquets as a special gift.
Mobile Drinks
Team members set up a mobile bar to visit residents in their rooms, serving cold refreshing beverages, whilst the residents enjoyed watching the rugby or football. Residents could choose from either an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage to enjoy whilst watching their chosen sport.
Signs of Spring
Residents have been enjoying spotting the signs of spring coming to life around the garden. Snowdrops blooming and daffodil bulbs showing signs of opening, whilst listening to the sounds of the birds chirping, watching the rabbits scurrying around and enjoying the peacefulness of being outdoors.
Snow Day
Residents enjoyed a tranquil walk in the garden, listening to the crunch of the snow beneath their feet and the feel of the cold soft, powdery snow between their fingers, watching and listening for wildlife and birds chirping away. After enjoying the quiet of the garden, residents had great fun building a snowman to sit at the front of the home.
Vaccination Day
Residents and team members were delighted to have been invited by Banbury Cross Health Centre to have their vaccines. This has brought great joy and relief to residents and team members after what has been a difficult period.
