Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home
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.

Life at Chacombe Park Care Home
Picnic by the Riverside
We headed out early to enjoy a peaceful walk along the riverside, enjoying our morning coffee in the tranquility of nature, and later tucked into our delicious picnic on the riverside.
Residents enjoyed being in the hustle and bustle of a thriving town and being by the riverside enjoying the wonderful sereneness and quietness that it brought, learning about the spectacular buildings and the history acquainted with Stratford upon Avon.
Classic Car Meet
We organised an evening minibus trip for our car enthusiast to our local classic car meet. Residents had a great evening looking around and seeing new classics they hadn't seen before.
Live Garden Entertainent
We have welcomed back live entertainment into the garden and had a wonderful afternoon with Bill James. Residents enjoyed the music from the garden, balconies or from indoors with a refreshing ice cream and cups of tea whilst listening to the sounds of familiar songs being played. Residents soon got back into the swing of things, dancing the afternoon away.
Back on the Road
Residents were overjoyed to be able to get back on the road. Our first minibus trip was a marvellous afternoon at Burton Dasset Hills, admiring the spectacular countryside views whilst eating a delicious picnic with a glass of fizz to celebrate.
Projects & Planning
We ensure that all the residents are involved with decisions, projects and planning around the home. This month, residents have been busy helping to get the mobile bar ready for plenty of outdoor events throughout the summer, deciding what colour it should be painted and then giving it a fresh lick of paint.
We have also been making sure that the minibus is in tip top condition for our minibus trips, getting the buckets and sponges out and giving it a clean.
Nature Walking Club
Our nature walking club combines residents' love of nature whilst learning something new. Each week we go out in to the garden to explore the wildlife and nature and learn about the various species of flowers, trees and wildlife that live in the garden.
We are lucky to have some birthing ewes within the grounds and whilst out on our nature walk, we learnt about the lamb's life, its feeding regime and how the farmer identifies each lamb to its mother.
Residents were able to cuddle and feel the softness of the lambs wool and help feed the lamb. For one resident, this was particularly meaningful, having lived on a farm nearly all her life and being able to be a part of that experience again was just wonderful.
