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.

Life at Chacombe Park Care Home

Making a friend in the garden
We had a lovely sunny day on the 6th of April and residents enjoyed taking walks whilst looking at our beautiful grounds.
As you can see, John, a keen gardener has once again been hard at work. He’s been so happy to work in the garden, that he’s made a friend in our bantam chicken, Becky! It was quite a sight to see John working his way around the garden, with Becky following not far behind!
John reminisced about how his Dad used to have chickens and that it reminds him of being a child. He was so keen to continue gardening that we nearly missed the tea round!


Garden Centre Visit
Residents had a wonderful outing to Bloxham Garden Centre, thoroughly enjoying the serene surroundings. Their experience was made even better with delicious tea, coffee and a delightful cake, all of which they savoured with happiness. The trip left them feeling joyful and content, cherishing the memories created together. It was a day filled with laughter, bringing a sense of happiness and fulfilment to everyone involved.


Butterfly Farm
We had a wonderful women's day celebration at Stratford Butterfly farm. We took some of our female residents for the trip - They loved the trip and enjoyed it a lot. It was a beautiful day full of fun and laughter as we enjoyed the glorious butterflies and surrounding waterfalls. The butterflies were a joy to watch and we enjoyed learning all about the different species.



Easter Egg Hiding
Here at Chacombe, we have had some great fun. We are looking forward to greeting our local primary school for an Easter Egg hunt and have had some good laughs whilst hiding the eggs in our courtyard!
Wendy was especially thrilled to hide some of the eggs and said she loved how vibrant the eggs were when they were hidden behind some of our beautiful spring daffodils.


Tristan Pate
Tristan Pate, the entertainer, filled the air with joy as he strummed his guitar, singing melodies that resonated with the residents. Their enjoyment was evident, and love for the performance radiated through the room. The entertainer's lively tunes sparked happiness, inspiring residents to join in singing and dancing together. The shared moments created a vibrant atmosphere, where the music became a bridge connecting everyone, making it a memorable occasion filled with laughter, harmony, and the joy of being together.



Pampering morning
The pampering morning enveloped residents in facial and foot spa, along with massages, elevated the experience, creating a haven of calmness. Residents not only enjoyed the physical rejuvenation but also the sense of togetherness, forming a special bond with fellow residents and they shared soothing music, tea, and snacks. The pampering session, complete with gentle touches and comforting treats, made it a truly blissful morning, leaving everyone feeling refreshed and connected.
