Activities at Oulton Park Care Home

Everybody enjoyed a wonderful visit to start our Easter festivities here at Oulton Park by The 3rd Oulton brownies. 

The residents and children enjoyed an egg hunt where they explored the grounds of Oulton Park and to finish they did some Easter arts and crafts. Great fun was had by all.   

Residents and Staff at Oulton Park care centre were treated to a visit from Pakefield pastures mobile care farm. The home was visited by rabbits and guineapigs who caused a great deal of excitement. The residents enjoyed the visit, they petted and held the animals who seemed to appreciate meeting their new friends. 

Animals have a wonderful calming effect and the residents love to stroke them, talk to them and watching them run around.     

Oulton Park hosted their annual Christmas fayre in December. The home welcomed lots of wonderful stalls with their fabulous gifts on offer, from knitted clothes, engraved woodwork, raffle and delicious cakes. 

The home raised a fantastic amount for the resident’s fund, £404.42. A massive thank you to everyone who supported and joined the home for this festive afternoon.            

At Oulton Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures. 

Our Residents enjoyed a Christmas cake baking activity. Once they had mixed and baked the cakes they created some fantastic finished cakes which all the Residents could enjoy.

Our Activities Team is dedicated to organising activities that truly engage.

What a lovely morning we had raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. It was such a lovely morning with lots of residents and relatives joining in chatting together whilst enjoying some tasty cake. 

We would like to say a BIG thank you to everyone that came. We raised a fantastic £73. How amazing is that!?

Residents and staff enjoyed a wonderful Saint Patrick's Day at Oulton Park. They enjoyed an Irish-themed lunch menu, created their very own shamrock wands and watched the live Saint Patrick's Day parade on the television. 

There were lots of laughter and giggles at the costumes staff and residents were wearing.    

At Oulton Park we support our residents to continue with their favourite hobbies, and encourage them to share and teach others about these too.

Our Residents enjoyed a fun filled colourful session of painting and enjoyed a chat and a cupp a at the same time.

Regular activities including arts and crafts are part of our lifestyle activities programme. We take regular feedback from our Residents to see which activities they enjoy the most and look to introduce new activities as we receive new Residents.

Congratulations to Andrew, who was awarded the management recognition award.  

You’ll see Andrew with a smile on his face, and he is often heard singing as he goes. Always going above and beyond. Keep up the fantastic work Andrew!       

At Oulton Park we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community. Life at *Care home* is about being part of the local community and enjoying life long hobbies whilst also exploring new experiences.

Oulton Rainbow Brownies visited the Residents at Oulton Park to sing some Carols and even went to sing on individual rooms visits. They created a special Christmas treat for all.

What a fantastic day we've had celebrating talk like a pirate day.

The residents were joined by Buccaneer one eye, Lou & Guzzler Flo Sparrow, who left their ship at Lowestoft harbour to celebrate this fun day. There were activities sheets, sounds of the sea shanties and dressing up. It was a shiver me timber experience. 

We were joined by the wonderful Jonny Laff who shantied us through the afternoon. He was a scallywag as he made one eye Lou & Guzzler Flo dance (as only Pirates do).

Residents enjoyed a wonderful visit by Svelta for a musical trip around the world. Through the medium of music, residents travelled to Italy, France, Spain and home again to England. 

With singing and smiling, lots of fun was had.   

Transforming the home into a magical Christmas wonderland. 

The residents were delighted to share their own traditions of Christmastime, bring this to life at Oulton Park, unravelling the fairy lights, and hanging the baubles ready for a whole host of Christmas celebrations. 

Residents were delighted to attend St Michael’s Church to watch Oulton Broad primary school's Christmas performance. 

The children’s voices rang throughout the church as they sang, and the residents joined the festive spirit, singing along to the carols. A wonderful way to spread Christmas cheer!     

What a great afternoon we had watching our local team L&Y 1XV vs Norwich medics. 

Gordon had a great time watching the match, even getting the chance to chat with one of the players who came up to chat to him both before the match and after, and of course, Gordon enjoyed a couple of pints and a burger. What a great match it was with L&Y 1XV winning 72-00!  

At Oulton Park, we enjoyed some circus-themed fun!  We had Andy the clown visit the amazing circus workshop where Oulton Park residents and Ritson Lodge residents learnt how to juggle, spin plates and make balloon animals. 

It was a day full of fun and laughter. We were even visited by some inflatable clowns. Great fun had by all.
