Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

At Chacombe Park we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.

Yesterday we celebrated Evelyn’s birthday, we all sang 'Happy Birthday' together and celebrated with cake. We all hope you had a truly lovely day filled with smiles, laughter, and special moments! 

What a fantastic day out! 

Our residents love a trip to the local, today we travelled a little further to enjoy a delicious pub lunch at The Butchers Arms, Kings Sutton. On our return we joined others for a performace from the brilliant Tristan Jackson-Pate. We all had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to welcome him back again soon!

We had a wonderful day on Sunday celebrating Lilian’s birthday here at Chacombe Park Care Home. It was lovely to see so many smiles, laughter, and special moments shared together. We hope you had a truly memorable day, Lilian, filled with joy and happiness.

What a fantastic day! Today’s Hearing & Sight Health Workshop delivered by the Specsavers Home Visits team was a great success, demonstrating how working together with community healthcare providers can achieve improved outcomes for our residents.

The event was attended by residents and members of the local community, with everyone offered hearing tests. We’re thrilled to share that 7 people received free NHS hearing aids on the day to immediately improve their lives and several had their current aids reviewed, with adjustments made to solve hearing issues, and others; residents and non-residents booked their free home visit eye tests.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the Specsavers team whose professionalism, understanding and care made this possible. We look forward to hosting the event again in February.

We has smiles all round at Chacombe Park this morning as our residents welcomed back parents and their little ones to the Chacombe Park Playgroup.

There was music, laughter and lots of fun as the generations enjoyed a lovely toddler time group ran by Phillipa from Rhythm Time. 

Resident Barbra said "It's lovely too see all of the toddlers playing together and having fun, it reminds me of when I was a teacher."

A trip to the Dementia Choir was enjoyed today. Our residents had a great time catching up with some familiar faces and loved seeing the children of Winchester house school take part.

The children requested the Neil Diamond classic 'Sweet Caroline' this was a favourite among the choir 

The residents enjoyed an afternoon of indulgence today, tucking into a fine selection of cheese, wine and crackers.

A great time was had with fellow residents and family members, we even had a bit of Bob Marley playing in the background!

It was such a success, they requested this as a monthly event. 

New year party for our residents and family members today!. The residents enjoyed a bit of Disco dancing to celebrate the new year!

They also saw a TV concert of Andre Rieu, who's very popular in our home. The kitchen staff created a sumptuous selection of sandwiches and cakes which many enjoyed with a cheeky glass of wine.

We had a lovely afternoon baking today all ready for Film Club tomorrow afternoon. The kitchen was full of smiles and the smell of something sweet! We can’t wait to enjoy them together tomorrow.

The residents in our home had a wonderful time in Ally's exercise session today!

It is always very popular and really gets the residents buzzing and energised. We're already looking forward to her coming next Tuesday and seeing what different routines she comes up with.

Our residents love cookery club and although very simple today they had great fun making chocolate Rice Krispie cakes, the smell, sounds and taste brought back happy memories. 

A huge congratulations to our very own Pat for achieving her 10 years service award.

Pat is a highly respected member of our team at Chacombe and is very popular with her colleagues and our residents. She is known for her hard work and her ever present smile! 

Happy Birthday to our lovely Resident Pat!

She was joined by her two grandsons to celebrate her big day and as usual we all sang the traditional 'Happy Birthday' as she was presented with a lovely cake. This was baked in house by our talented Chef Summit.
