Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

A few of our resident's enjoyed a Tea party in our home today. They enjoyed some wine and delicious freshly made cakes baked in the home by our talented chef Summit. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, relaxing, treats, and some wonderful conversation amongst themselves and our staff.

A few of the resident's enjoyed a trip to our local pub for lunch to celebrate resident John's birthday.  After enjoying  their choosen pub grub lunch we all sang Happy birthday to him as he was presented with a lovely cake baked by our lovely chef Gillian!

At Chacombe Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends. Today qe got our gloves on for a bit of garden maintenance. Some of our residents enjoyed getting hands on with a bit of weeding as others did a little general tidying up of the garden area. 

John was in charge of explaining to the fellow residents which were flowers and not weeds!

The sunshine was out and the residents had a wonderful time having a picnic in the grounds of Chacombe Park. They enjoyed the lovely homemade sandwiches made by our chef and a variety of delicious cakes, and of course a few cheeky drinks were on offer including whisky, wine and soft drinks!

We really are so lucky to live in such a fabulous location.

A trip to Sunday Service is always a valued part of the week for our residents, this week we decided to join the morning service at Middleton Cheney Church, where they each took holy communion and enjoyed meeting several parishioners.

Ansha's colleagues, our residents, friends and family members within the home have chosen her to be Chacombe Park's 'Employee of the Month' for July 2025.

Ansha has been nominated by her colleagues, residents, and families for her kindness, compassion, and dedication. She goes above and beyond - not only in caring for residents but also in supporting their families through difficult times.

We are so grateful to have you on our team, Ansha! 

Our residents had a lovely afternoon enjoying the sunshine and a special visit from Freddie the Cocker Spaniel. Lots of smiles, cuddles, and wagging tails all around! 

Residents from Chacombe Park enjoyed a lovely outing to People’s Park in Banbury to mark Victory in Japan Day. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect, share memories, and honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served – all while enjoying the beauty of the park together.

The residents enjoyed their trip to the pub today for a fantastic lunch and a bit of a chitchat, always a very welcoming atmosphere at The George and Dragon Chacombe. One resident Peter asked when is the next trip to the pub, he wants to become a regular!

Today we hosted our monthly Baby and Toddler session. In these sessions some of our residents also get involved and really enjoy the interaction with the parents and their little ones, it brings so much joy to the residents.

In the afternoon we held a sensory session, designed to bring back fond memories from their earlier lives by smelling, touching and hearing items that can trigger such memories and emotions.

The residents had their weekly exercise class with Allyson, which they always look forward to. They enjoy following instruction for the choreography moves, and feel the benefits of a gentle workout, elastic strips are used as an aid for movement and stretching.

One resident, Janet, said it is the highlight of her week! 

On Sunday the residents were treated to a lovely cheese platter with wine while some also enjoyed watching the Grand prix along with some family members. The experience was even more special as it took place in our newly refurbished Activities Room. We look forward to inviting more friends and family and the local community to this amazing communal space.

Join us on the 6^th September when we open our doors for everyone to view the homes completed refurbishment.

Today we had another of our very popular flower arranging sessions. Our residents simply love to set up our numerus vases with an array of seasonal blooms. The sweet fragrances flood the communal rooms putting a smile on everyone’s faces.

The residents in our home today had a wonderful time with Live Entertainment from the fantastic Fiona Harrison - A Voice in a Million. She sang some lovely 60s musical numbers, and some classic pop tubes including one of the Beatles songs  'Octopuses Garden' which was a big hit with the residents, many got up to dance with a little assistance from our carers!
