Activities at Hempton Field 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.
Nina Mullerworth
Hello, my name is Nina and I have had the privilege of working at Hempton Field in my role as Activities Coordinator for over 15 years and I am looking forward to many more! I have enjoyed continually developing in the role with a variety of training courses, including a Level 2 NAPA and Aromatherapy Massage.
I love interacting with the residents and organising a varied programme of activities with a person-centred approach based on Barchester's Life Enrichment Programme of enhancing the wellbeing of mind, body and soul. This includes ensuring residents can continue to enjoy hobbies, life experiences and keep active through exercise and music. We are involved with local clubs and welcome in members of the community as well as a variety of outings in the minibus - these are always very popular!

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
Enable Launch
On Monday 3rd June we went live on Enable!
Enable is Barchester’s new digital care planning system! The new system allows us to use handheld technology to access care plans and life enrichment preferences via an app!
We celebrated with a buffet and cake to thank the staff for their hard work and patience as we transition to this exciting new system!
Garden Centre Trip
Recently we made a trip over to Haddenham Garden Centre.
We had a great time looking round at all the beautiful and colourful flowers. We picked some plants to take back and display!
No trip to the garden centre is complete without a stop for some coffee & cake!
Sunny Afternoon
Last week we made the most of the wonderful weather we had and took a trip out on our minibus. We enjoyed a peaceful afternoon sat by the canal watching the ducks.
Board Games
We love a morning of playing board games! We had a game of Scrabble, and Anne was the winner!
Pudding Club
For this month's Pudding Club, we took inspiration from a family recipe of one our residents! The much-loved pudding our resident, Pearl, used to make regularly for her family was a Homemade Apple Pie.
This prompted our chef to theme the pudding club all around using apples in the dishes! The selection included Traditional Baked Apples with Sultanas & Brown Sugar, an Upside-Down Apple Sponge, an Apple Snow topped with Caramelised Apple and of course a warm Apple Pie!
Residents, staff and visitors loved tasting all the puddings on offer!
Toddler Group Visit
This morning we had so much fun as we were visited by Starbodler's Toddler Group, run by St Andrews Church in Chinnor! The residents and children enjoyed singing together, playing musical instruments and blowing bubbles!
