Activities at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Rikardas Cirunas
Hello, my name is Rikardus and I am the Activities Co-ordinator at Chestnut Gardens Care Home.
I have worked for Barchester for five years and was so excited to be part of such a excellent team at this beautiful home.
Every day I look forward to supporting our residents in living a full and enriched life and especially enjoy the outdoor activities that we arrange to the local attractions, even if the weather can be unpredictable at times.
We also hold loads of varied internal activities so everyone is catered for and the musicians and therapy animals are a very big hit.

Life at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
King Charles' Butlers!
Chestnut Gardens offer excellent care and services in quality surroundings. We are delighted to be associated with great people who come to spend time enhancing the lives of our residents. We couldn't believe who popped by to help serve at our big Charity event: only Simon and Peter, butlers to our dear king at Buckingham Palace!!! Fantastic and so much fun!
Tour De Barchester
Our charity week concluded in a celebratory party! " Tour De Barchester" cyclists ended a mammoth marathon ride at Chestnut Gardens and raised a huge amount of money (we're still counting!) for our Barchester Charitable Foundation! To say we're proud of our colleagues is an understatement! Please see below to find out how to support the cause.
Ronnie Scotts
"Your wish is our command!" Our dear resident, June loves Jazz and had always wanted to enjoy an evening at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and so for her recent significant birthday, enjoy an evening at Ronnie Scotts she did!
Our colleagues, Madison, Head of activities and Andrew, Head of Maintenance accompanied June last week and a jolly good time was had by all!

Trips Out!
Chestnut Gardens offer 2 trips a week for all residents to join in on, but also "bespoke" trips for those who want some one to one to one time with a member of our team.
