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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Chacombe Park Care Home
Nail Polish Delight
It was a special day for the residents at Chacombe Park. Their faces lit up with joy as their nails were carefully polished. The simple act brought them immense happiness, making their day a little brighter. Each resident left with a big smile, grateful for the thoughtful gesture that brought a touch of beauty and cheer to their lives.
Sunny Delights at Banbury Lights: Bowling game
The residents had a blast at Banbury Lights in the warm weather. They enjoyed cold beers, laughed, and made wonderful memories. They even played bowling, competing with each other and having a fantastic time. It was a day filled with joy and laughter they'll always remember.
A Charming afternoon at Bloxam Nursery
They had a truly lovely time at Bloxam Nursery. Surrounded by beautiful flowers, the air was filled with their sweet scent. The colours were so vibrant, creating a breath-taking view of nature's wonders. They gathered for a delightful tea with fragrant brews and delicious cakes, adding even more happiness to the day. They laughed and talked, feeling completely content. This special day in nature's embrace left a lasting memory of the joy found in simple pleasures and good company. It was a day they won't forget.
