Activities | Chacombe Park Care Home

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.

Afternoon Tea & Music

We were joined by Bill James for a sunny afternoon in the garden with delicious scones, jam tarts, ice creams and music.

Full Steam Ahead

We had a fun day riding on the steam train in the Cotswolds. We travelled from Toddington Station whilst enjoying our packed lunch along the way, and finished the afternoon off with coffee and ice cream. This was a great day out; we watched the world go by and took in the wonderful scenery in a whole carriage reserved just for us to relax and enjoy the ride.

Easter Celebrations

Residents were delighted to see the Easter Bunny coming around with treats for everyone. He delivered chocolate, but for those unable to have chocolate, they were treated to a different gifts, ranging from flowers to sweets.

Lambing

We took a trip to a local farm for Lambing Week, where residents had the pleasure of holding and feeding baby lambs, and we arrived at the right time to see a new lamb being born.

Nutrition & Hydration Week

We got up to lots of different things throughout Nutrition & Hydration Week, including making our favourite snacks, baking and having themed afternoon teas with snacks from around the world.

Through the Years

We were joined by a wonderful entertainer who put ona great performance for residents. Everyone sang along to their favourite songs of all time.
