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.

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital
Residents were filled with joy during their visit to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Haddenham. Tiggywinkles Hospital cares for all sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife. Residents enjoyed their day out and were able to see a variety of animals being looked after under Tiggywinkles care.
Tour De Barchester
Staff from Barchester’s care homes up and down the country took on a gruelling 211 mile cycling challenge from Bradford to London to raise money for Barchester's Charitable Foundation. We were delighted to meet and support the core Tour de Barchester team of Simon McCall, Commercial Director, Genevieve Glover, HR Director, Tony Woollett, Recruitment Director and Shona Conway, Project Coordinator, joined by other Barchester staff members as they passed through our care home. To make things even more exciting, we decorated our home for the event with banners and flags, invited Richard the Saxophonist to play for us all and held a delicious BBQ for residents, families and staff to enjoy to welcome the amazing cyclists. Our residents and team members were thrilled to meet and greet the core Tour de Barchester team and to wish them best of luck. There were smiles and laughter all around.
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Here at Hempton Field we enjoyed a fun-filled 4 days for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations! We welcomed fantastic singers, spent time with our families and tried lots of tasty treats. The event was enjoyed by all and was a lovely way to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.
Haddenham Garden Centre
In May we made the most of the beautiful sunshine with a fantastic trip to Haddenham Garden Centre! We chose a selection of plants for our vegetable patch to plant with Tim our Gardener. We couldn’t resist looking at all the wonderful treats in the farm shop, and we were able to finish our visit with some tea and cake!
Nutrition and Hydration Week
As part of nutrition and hydration week we had a 'hydration station' at the home that has been very popular with residents and staff!
It was especially fun trying the jelly drops. which are sugar-free treats that are made of 95% water to help increase fluid intake.
St David's Day
Residents marked St David’s Day in style, we enjoyed making crafts with members from our local church St Andrews, followed by a talk on the history of St David. We organised a lovely Welsh themed lunch which was Welsh rarebit for starter, Beef cawl or smoked haddock and leek risotto with seasonal vegetables and welsh potato cake. For dessert our residents tasted Welsh bread and butter pudding with hot buttered Welsh cakes and tea in the afternoon.
