Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

We had some lovely visitors today at Chacombe Park, therapy ponies and their wonderful handlers from Lollipop Pony Parties came and visited the residents to say hello!

The residents were over the moon spending time with such friendly animals. Nothing is nicer than a bit of Animal therapy, we look forward to seeing them again.

Shrove Tuesday at our home was truly a wonderful experience with Chef Stephan creating some tasty pancakes for the residents to indulge in! 

We had plenty of fillings to choose from with chocolate and butterscotch being particular favourites.

In celebration of St David's day the residents enjoyed a wonderful day with a variety of activities. First the lovely Sarah played a range of tunes on her saxophone, one resident David, had a wonderful time putting in requests for Sarah to play! 

Then we had flower arranging with daffodils and finished off with a cup of tea and some lovely warm Welsh cakes which the residents loved.

It was another wonderful morning for our residents taking part in the Dementia Choir, they had a good sing along with the children from the Winchester House School, Brackley, Northamptonshire, the first one since half term. The morning was finished off with tasty refreshments and a good old chinwag amongst themselves!

Please join us in wishing Centenarian and resident at Chacombe Park the beautiful; Patricia a very happy 103rd birthday!
Patricia celebrated her remarkable 103rd birthday on Wednesday, surrounded by her loving family who travelled from across the United Kingdom to mark this special occasion.

Patricia, who has lived a rich and fulfilling life, was married in 1946 and spent many years in Syrasham before settling in Culworth to raise her family. Her marriage of 49 years brought her great joy before the passing of her beloved husband.

Making this milestone birthday particularly memorable, Patricia's children made special journeys to be with their mother - her son and daughter-in-law traveling from Scotland, while her daughter and son-in-law came up from London. The celebration was made even more special as Patricia's grandchildren connected virtually to share their love and best wishes with their remarkable great-grandmother.

"Patricia doesn't look her age, we would all like to know her secret," said General Manager; Shaju Paul. "She looks fabulous at all times and shows no signs of aging. It's been wonderful to be part of today's birthday celebrations and to meet Patricia's children, their love for their mother filled the room as did the cakes!"
