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.
Morgan Dowie
Hi, my name is Morgan and I joined the Chacombe Park life enrichment team in January 2025. I love getting to know our residents, and I'm extremely passionate about their continued wellbeing and enjoy providing tailored activities that stimulate happiness, and continued fulfilment.
Prior to joining Chacombe Park, I worked as a Senior Carer, and hold an NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care. Outside of work, I’m a wife and mother to our beautiful little girl. Originally from Birmingham our little family has now settled in Banbury. Living life to the full is my motto, and I wish to instil this in all our residents, whatever your ability there is something new to learn or try. Life is for enriching and enjoyment.
I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones. 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.

Dementia Disco all a Glow
What a fantastic afternoon we had at our Dementia Disco!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Chacombe Park today, the room was full of smiles, laughter, and plenty of dancing!
Our residents, families, and team members came together to celebrate the power of music and movement, and the joy was absolutely contagious. From classic hits to feel-good favourites, everyone joined in and waved their glow sticks!
Thank you to our entertainer Vintage Ruby who put on a fabulous disco for us all!
Whiskey Tasting and Cup Final
A lovely afternoon with a Whisky tasting session for our residents and visitors at our home, and for those that don't drink Whisky, we had Gin & Tonic and Wine!
With a selection of tasty nibbles we all had a fabulous time watching the FA cup final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City!
Exploring Avon Dassett
Today residents spent the afternoon at Avon Dassett.
We explored the hills with scenic walks, sat with a picnic and cold drinks whilst soaking up the sunshine, everyone took time to relax, connect, and appreciate the peaceful surroundings.
These kind of outings are more than just a change of scenery, they're a boost for wellbeing, a way to stay active and bringing people together.
Sunshine and Wisteria
Our residents made the most of the sunshine today, enjoying a relaxing afternoon sitting under the blooming Wisteria in the garden. There's nothing like good weather and great company!
Everyone loves getting sitting in the garden as much as possible to soak up that vitamin D. Also, nature and greenery reduces stress and being in a beautiful garden feels familiar and comforting.
Celebrating International Nurses Day
Today, we gathered to honour our incredible nursing team on International Nurses Day! These healthcare heroes demonstrate extraordinary compassion, dedication, and skill every single day.
Our General Manager, Shaju Paul, personally thanked each nurse for their invaluable contributions to our home and the exceptional care they provide to our residents.
To our amazing nurses: You truly are the heart of our home! We hope you enjoy your special goodie bags filled with keepsakes as a small token of our immense appreciation and to all our team members who support our nursing staff - thank you for being part of this incredible healthcare family!
