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.

Scatter Cards & Musical Bingo!

The Hempton Field residents love taxing their brains. With the sun shining we took to the garden for a game of scatter matching fun. As the weather changed, the team moved into the dining hall for musical bingo!

Come rain or shine our residents will always find a way to join together and play.

Pom-pom exercise fun!

A little light exercise to start the morning off! Pom-pom shaking to our residents favourite tunes is a perfect way to wake the group for the day ahead.

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.
