We recently opened our own mini clothes shop, where residents could pop along, try on clothes, and keep them if they liked. This was a lovely afternoon of fun and lots of residents left happy with some new items for their wardrobe.
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Hannah Boscott
I have worked here at Chacombe Park Care Home since 2013; I started at Chacombe as a care assistant followed by becoming a senior carer before taking on the role as Activities Co-coordinator. I love being part of the fun and entertainment that we have here at Chacombe. I strive to ensure all residents we support are involved with everyday life at Chacombe one way or another by organising group and individual activities.
We have a varied activity programme that is never fixed and if residents are wishing to do an alternative activity this is never an issue. There are regular entertainers, PAT dog, themed events/days such as beach days, cultural days as well as celebrating the big calendar events such as Guy Fawkes. We also have regular trips out on the Mini Bus, which include visiting places of interest, lunch trips/afternoon tea. Relatives, friends and family are encouraged to join the activities that we have going on around the home as often as they can.
Activities at our home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Carers Week
We presented our Carers with the wonderful hamper of goodies from Barchester to celebrate the amazing hard work they do on a daily basis. We have an amazing team of Carers and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Summer Fête
We held our Summer Fête and, with the weather on our side, we had a fabulous day. We were joined by Adderbury Village Morris dancers and Richard Deveraux sang throughout the afternoon. There was also a model railway on display and £100 prize money up for grabs, which was won by Marion, who is a resident here at Chacombe!
