Activities at Oulton Park Care Home
We have a wonderful team here at Oulton Park and we all work together to provide a stimulating, active environment for our residents that live here. We are always looking for new and innovative ideas for our residents to be part of here, and our activities coordinator works very hard on planning and providing a stimulating busy schedule of activities, as well as assisting the residents with their daily living preferences. We have regular meetings with our families and residents to make sure we are providing things to suit their preferences. We as a home are registered with the National Activity Providers Association and strive to provide a person-centred approach for our residents here.
Louise Hunter-Hall
Hello my name is Louise, I am the life enrichment and activities coordinator at Oulton park care centre.
I joined Oulton Park late 2023 but I have worked in the care industry for over 20 years and I have a compassion for my role and work. During the 20years I have supported many different adults with different care needs including, nursing care, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, independent living and 1:1 needs. I have both my level 2&3 in care and level 2 in sign language.
At Oulton my role is to create and organise a range of engaging and meaningful activities. My role brings me a great deal of comfort and joy.
If I can just make 1 persons life better during my working day at Oulton Park then the day has been a success. I feel honoured, fortunate and blessed to do the job I do.

As part of our Valentine's Day celebrations we have been baking beautiful and delicious cupcakes alongside creating cards of love for those dearest to us.
Baking, Jewellery Making And Refurbishing
We are always busy at Oulton Park and this week has been no different as we got creative. Residents and staff have been making jewellery and showing off our baking skills.
We are also really excited that our WOW refurbishment programme has started. This project will completely transform our home and turn it into one of the most attractive care homes in East Anglia.
Getting The WOW Factor
Starting this week Oulton Park is undergoing a full refurbishment to give it the WOW factor. From carpets, to lighting, to decoration, to landscaping and more, Oulton Park is getting the a complete makeover.
Although the full works will take several months to complete; the refurbishment is being undertaken in phases to ensure as little disruption to the residents as possible.
We look forward to inviting family, friends and supporters in for a look once the work is complete.
Baking Fun And Santa Visits
We love using our baking skills at Oulton Park. Many of our resident have years of baking experience that translates to delicious festive treats. Over the Christmas period we put many of these skills to great use and the entire home has benefited.
Santa visited over Christmas bringing presents and his famous list (we were all good!) and he enjoyed our brilliant hospitality.
The Best Traditions Are The Oldest
The best Christmas activities are based on the oldest traditions.
This week we have been building gingerbread houses, making wreaths and baking festive treats.
Building and decorating gingerbread houses is not only great fun, but gives us a creative outlet as well as a yummy treat later in the month. Plus the home smells delicious!
