Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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.

Kim Martin

Activities Assistant

Hello, I’m Kim and I work within the activities team here at Chacombe Park. I started in 2017, initially as a Senior Care Assistant before moving into the life enrichment team as an Activities Assistant. 

I have a Level 3 NVQ in Health & Social Care and love to spend time with our residents. Having the opportunity to improve their daily wellbeing and enrich their lives whilst in our care means everything to me.  Whether that be sitting with someone one on one providing a pamper session, or running a high energy activity session, each day is different and there is never a dull moment!

We are always open to new ideas, if you'd like to contact me please call the home on 01295 712001 or email me direct on: Chacombe.Activities@barchester.com - ­New entertainers always welcome.

Day Trip to Barn Garden Centre

Some of our residents had a wonderful trip to the Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre where they had a lovely time wondering around the numerous blooms and choosing ones to buy before tucking into delicious cakes and coffee in the Greenhouse café.

One of our residents; Barbara, was so happy to see all the lovely flowers on display, we decided to treat her to a fragrant lavender plant which made her extremely happy.

Flower Arranging before the Tennis

It was another bright and sunny day in the home today as we had good fun with some flower arranging.

Our residents really enjoy doing this, especially Jean who used to arrange flowers for her church. Handling and arranging the flowers always brings back so many fond memories for her.

Handing out the fresh blooms across the communities brings so many smiles and fills the home with beautiful floral fragrances.

In the afternoon some of the residents enjoyed watching the Wimbledon matches on TV with a glass of wine!

Games, chats and foot rubs!

We had our usual Community Coffee morning on Friday where residents, friends and family gather together for coffee, cakes, games and chats.

Boots Banbury - Memory Box

Today we had fun exploring a memory box that was gifted to us by Boots in Banbury!

Inside the box was a variety of items to stimulate the senses; some that made sounds, could be touched or sniffed to trigger memories for those residents living with dementia.

They had a wonderful time connecting with each other and sharing moments and happy memories from the past.
