Celebrating life at Barchester

The residents had a wonderful time enjoying this mornings Holy communion service at the All Saints church in Middleton Cheney.
After the service they had fine time chatting amongst them selves while enjoying a cuppa and biscuits!

Today the residents were treated to some lovely festive songs by the lovely Fiona Harrison - A Voice in a Million. She interacts brilliantly with the residents, encouraging them to join in very, she even got our Janet singing!

Our residents enjoyed another wonderful trip to Banbury Museum on Thursday morning. A highly requested outing after hearing such great things from their peers about the last visit! 

It was a lovely day filled with curiosity, cake, and plenty of smiles.  Resident, Barbara, said how nice it was to learn about the history of the place that she has lived in for so many years!

Claremont was filled yesterday afternoon with the beautiful voices of the Trinity Singers, a community choir based in Desborough. 

It was a truly magical afternoon at the home, listening to a selection of Christmas carols and songs such as White Christmas, A Holly Jolly Christmas, Jingle Bells, 30-second Merry Christmas and many more, which brought joy to all the residents who were listening and joining in with the songs that they knew. Residents were joined by family members, who are always welcome to be with their loved ones for the live entertainment within the home.

The Trinity Singers were also glad to be back at Claremont Parkway as they come to perform for the residents each Christmas time to bring love and pure delight to the residents at this very special time in the year. 

Live entertainment brings great joy to our residents along with a sense of togetherness within the home.
One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment.

Resident Mari was treated to a musical performance on the keyboard from her Grandson Daniel Waterfield who asked if he could come in and play for his Nanna and that he would happily play for other residents as well.

Not only was Mari delighted with her Grandson playing, her friends at the home were too as Daniel played tunes such as I'm still standing, Don't Stop Me Now, We Are the Champions, White Christmas, Blue Moon, Thank you for the Music and many more to have us singing along and clapping, Mari also got up and had a dance. 

A truly special afternoon.

Rise and shine birthday boy!

This week we celebrated the birthday of Ashley who had a lovely day and he was delighted to be presented with a cake and a rendition of Happy Birthday by some of our wonderful carers and made by our super chef Jorge.

At Claremont Parkway we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
