Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

A lovely evening out for our residents at Banbury Fair! It was wonderful to see so many smiles and hear all the laughter. Resident John loved swapping his mobility scooter for a dodgem car!
 

Today we had a visit from AG Magicians, bringing fun, laughter and happiness into our home.

Happy birthday to one of lovely residents Jean!

Her family came to visit, also bringing her Great Granddaughter. They made a big fuss of her on her big day with flowers and present. After lunch the carers and her friends sang Happy birthday and presented a beautiful cake that was baked in house by of our chef Summit.

A Friday treat for some of our residents today. We took a few of them to our local pub, The George and Dragon in Chacombe village. It's always nice to see our residents in a different environment, having a bit of banter and relaxing together over a lovely pub lunch.

The residents in our home had a lovely afternoon with wine & cheese (and lager for some of the fellas).

The wonderful cheese platter was created by our talented Activities team and included a selection of cheeses from around the world.

Our residents had a great time at St John's Catholic church in Banbury this morning for the Sunday service.

One of our lovely residents Jean, a life long Catholic, told us of her desire is go to a Catholic service, so we took her and two others to the service which they enjoyed very much. The Parishioners were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome.

Our monthly Parent and toddlers group saw us welcoming some new faces to Chacombe Park.

They really enjoyed the session, we had music and activities to keep the little ones engaged, they are really looking forward to next month. Our attending residents were delighted to see the little ones bouncing around full of energy!

We are delighted to announce that our residents, their families, friends, and staff have chosen Jebciya as Chacombe Park’s Employee of the Month for August 2025.

Jebciya has been recognised for her kindness, compassion, and unwavering dedication. She goes above and beyond in caring for our residents and is always there to support their families during challenging times.

We are so thankful to have you on our team, Jebciya! Congratulations on employee of the month for August 2025!

Another trip out to our weekly dementia choir at Winchester House School. It was another amazing session run by Laurence and the team. The residents had a wonderful time singing a variety songs from Elvis Presley to John Lennon.

One classic tune "Is This the way to Amerillo" caused a debate as to who wrote the song, this was resolved during refreshments!

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful day out today in Stratford-upon-Avon. 

We started the day off at Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm, where the residents enjoyed seeing different types of butterflies and having the butterflies land on them! 

We ended the day with a riverside picnic and feeding the ducks and geese.

Yesterday in our home we were visited by a Reflexologist, the lovely Denise.

She came and gave a presentation on the benefits of Reflexology before treating some of our residents to a hand massage using her unique Reflexology techniques which this was a big hit with everyone!

We held a Macmillan coffee morning in our home yesterday, a great way to raise funds to support those living with cancer.

Many members of the public join us alongside pupils from the local Chacombe CEVA Primary Academy to take part. As well as refreshments we had a selection of tasty cakes baked by our chefs. The school children had fabulous fun running off all their sweet treats running around the home grounds before heading back to their studies.

The residents enjoyed being involved in the event, chatting with everyone including the children. Donations are still being accepted, we will announce the total raised as soon as possible!

Fabulous as always... Every week our residents enjoy the benefits of regular and significant exercise. Armchair fitness is voted one of the Chacombe Park residents favourite activities as it helps them all stay active, healthy and smiling together!

Bringing our residents wishes come to life is such an important way to provide tailored life enrichment. This week a few of the resident's had a trip out to Banbury to play a few rounds of 10 pin bowling at The Light Banbury.

It was a fun and highly competitive game with Activities Coordinator; Melissa the clear winner! Then everyone decided they wanted a McDonald's... so that's what they got! It was great trip enjoyed by all.
