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
Bonjour! From all at Hempton Field
To celebrate Bastille Day on 14th July we enjoyed a French cuisine inspired lunch, with Croque Monsieur to start, followed by the choice of Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au vin, served with a selection of vegetables and gratin dauphinoise.
In the afternoon, our residents took a virtual tour of France, including watching the celebrations live from Paris. Afternoon tea came with French sweet treats, whilst they sang along to the soundtrack of Les Misérables... our residents really do know how to make a day of any occasion at Hempton Field
Come and join in the fun - We're welcoming new residents.
Holy Communion at Hempton Field
Our friends from St Andrews Church - Chinnor have continued to provide the residents of Hempton Field with spiritual guidance throughout the pandemic; via zoom and more recently with an outdoor service.
This week we were so pleased to be able to welcome them back into our home to provide their wonderful Holy Communion service. Our residents enjoyed a lovely chat about nature, hedgehogs and the large array of birds spotted in Chinnor. Thank you for keeping us part of the community.
Oh What a Beautiful Morning!
Our residents were treated to an amazing musical set from Nik Stoter. Nik has worked extensively in TV and theatre since he was a child and studied at The Sylvia Young Theatre School. His West End credits have included Oliver! The Sound of Music, Bugsy Malone, Peter Pan plus many more, and this week he can add; entertaining the residents of Hempton Field Care Home!
Nik’s musical artistry had our ladies mesmerised and singing along to every word. What a performer, thank you for making our day.
World Chocolate Day
Residents at Barchester’s Hempton Field care home in Chinnor had a fantastic time celebrating World Chocolate Day on July 7, surely one of the best days of the year! Overseen by Activities Coordinator, Nina our residents whipped up some scrummy chocolate muffins.
General Manager, Sharon Thursby, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a World Chocolate Day, the eyes of all our staff lit up too. We all had great fun discussing our favourite types of chocolate down the years, it’s amazing how many different chocolate bars and flavours there have been!”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
We’re making our homes as safe as possible and will ensure that all new residents and staff are vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes.
American Independence Day Celebrations
Staff and residents at Hempton Field got the flags out and celebrated American Independence Day in style by hosting a "Stars and Stripes" party with singing sensation Fiona Harrison Fiona Harrison - A Voice in a Million on the 4th of July 2021.
Our residents enjoyed singing and dancing to Fiona’s set list of American greats from Buddy Holly, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, before settling down to a stateside ‘super-sized’ feast of ham burgers and fries, followed by American waffles, ice cream and berries, prepared by Chef Heather and the hospitality team.
Sharon Thursby, General Manager at Hempton Field, said: “Independence Day is always full of big flavours and a chance for us to celebrate all things American. We’ve had fun turning the home into an America diner and enjoying the swinging songs courtesy of Fiona Harrison,”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
