Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Kim Martin
Activities Assistant
Hello, I’m Kim and I work within the activities team here at Chacombe Park. I started in 2017, initially as a Senior Care Assistant before moving into the life enrichment team as an Activities Assistant.
I have a Level 3 NVQ in Health & Social Care and love to spend time with our residents. Having the opportunity to improve their daily wellbeing and enrich their lives whilst in our care means everything to me. Whether that be sitting with someone one on one providing a pamper session, or running a high energy activity session, each day is different and there is never a dull moment!
We are always open to new ideas, if you'd like to contact me please call the home on 01295 712001 or email me direct on: Chacombe.Activities@barchester.com - New entertainers always welcome.
Celebrating life at Chacombe Park Care Home
60's Swing at Chcombe Park
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!
Barchester Care Awards – Divisional Winner
And our winner is… Gareth Lewis crowned Maintenance Champion of the Year for the Central Division.
Next stop…the nationals!
Over 5,250 incredibly high-standard nominations were received this year. Gareth of Chacombe Park will join winners from across the UK at a special awards event in October to celebrate their outstanding achievements and see if they’ve won a national award.
We are extremely proud to have a colleague of Gareths' qualities working alongside us, and we thank him for all his hard work and dedication. In particular for always going out of his way to help wherever it's needed, whatever the tasks is!
Gareth is truly a Champion of Chacombe Park and of the whole Central Division!
Well done Gareth, thoroughly deserved.
Poetry, Posies and Prosecco
The residents in our home had a wonderful morning listening to poetry from our lovely volunteer Jon. This is something we frequently do and is something the residents really look forward to.
In the afternoon it was our weekly flower arranging session, which is always a hit with the residents. One of the resident's daughter, Karen, also got involved with this activity, which some enjoyed with a cheeky glass of fizz!
Residents Hugh and Pauline who have been married for over 65 years also came and took part in the flower arranging.
Celebrating Our Staff - Employee of the Month
Srilakshmis's colleagues, residents, friends and family members within the home have chosen her to be Chacombe Park Employee of the month for July 2025.
She is an extremely hard working member of the care team who is always willing to help all of her colleagues in a variety of disciplines to keep the home running smoothly and our residents adore her. Congratulations Srilakshmi from us all.
Day Trip to Barn Garden Centre
Some of our residents had a wonderful trip to the Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre where they had a lovely time wondering around the numerous blooms and choosing ones to buy before tucking into delicious cakes and coffee in the Greenhouse café.
One of our residents; Barbara, was so happy to see all the lovely flowers on display, we decided to treat her to a fragrant lavender plant which made her extremely happy.
Happy Birthday Lovely Dorma
Our wonderful resident; Dorma had all her family come to celebrate with her on Saturday, and today we at the care home threw a party for her! We sang Happy Birthday and presented her with a fantastic cake made in-house by our talented chef.
Flower Arranging before the Tennis
It was another bright and sunny day in the home today as we had good fun with some flower arranging.
Our residents really enjoy doing this, especially Jean who used to arrange flowers for her church. Handling and arranging the flowers always brings back so many fond memories for her.
Handing out the fresh blooms across the communities brings so many smiles and fills the home with beautiful floral fragrances.
In the afternoon some of the residents enjoyed watching the Wimbledon matches on TV with a glass of wine!
Games, chats and foot rubs!
We had our usual Community Coffee morning on Friday where residents, friends and family gather together for coffee, cakes, games and chats.
In the afternoon some of the residents also enjoyed being pampered with foot massages which seemed to be a great success, helping to relieve everyone's feet from the summer heat!
Boots Banbury - Memory Box
Today we had fun exploring a memory box that was gifted to us by Boots in Banbury!
Inside the box was a variety of items to stimulate the senses; some that made sounds, could be touched or sniffed to trigger memories for those residents living with dementia.
They had a wonderful time connecting with each other and sharing moments and happy memories from the past.
