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.

Snakes and Spiders!

What an exciting day we had at Chacombe Park when Lottie from ZooLab visited with an array of mini beasts!

We were able to meet some fantastic and intriguing creatures up close, from snakes to slithering cenipeades. Resident Pat said she thought she would never touch a snake but 'Banana' the snake was just too cute and tempting not to have a feel!

It was a day of smiles and brave moments all round.

Congratulations - Maintenance Champion of the Year!
