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.

Life at Oulton Park Care Home

Joe's Armchair Exercises
Residents loves Joe's armchair exercises; she gets everyone active, with big smiles and laughs all around the room! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and particularly loved the exercise bands!

Faye's Dance School Visits Oulton Park
Residents and families thoroughly enjoyed a performance from Faye's Dance School this afternoon. They put a smile on everyone's face and we all commented on how fantastic they all were!
Employee of the Month - March
Our Employee of the Month for March is Gemma Hatton who is a kitchen assistant. She was nominated by our Head Chef who wrote, "Gemma has taken on her new role as KA in a very positive way after the disappointment of the Host position being made redundant. She actively helps me as her head of department with nutrition, keeping records and paperwork done in her own time, unpaid. She is also committed to working when feeling unwell so as not to let the department down"
Waveney Choir
The residents loved singing, dancing and clapping along to the Waveney Choir; plus everyone loved the colourful outfits!
