Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

The residents enjoyed our weekly visit to the dementia friendly choir at Winchester House School where they had a wonderful time singing.

It was Evelyn's first time and she was having a fine time singing and clapping along to 'Sweet Caroline'. The School team then treated everyone in attendance to delicious buffet of sandwiches and cookies!

Our wonderful residents had a fantastic time this week enjoying a lively skittles game on Monday followed by an energizing exercise class on Tuesday! There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and even a bit of friendly competition. 

Staying active and social is such an important part of life here at Chacombe Park, and it’s always lovely to see everyone joining in and cheering each other on. Here’s to more fun, fitness, and friendship!

The residents in our home had a lovely afternoon with wine & cheese (and lager for some of the fellas).

The wonderful cheese platter was created by our talented Activities team and included a selection of cheeses from around the world.

Our residents had a great time at St John's Catholic church in Banbury this morning for the Sunday service.

One of our lovely residents Jean, a life long Catholic, told us of her desire is go to a Catholic service, so we took her and two others to the service which they enjoyed very much. The Parishioners were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome.

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.

What an incredible achievement, Gareth Lewis!

Our weekly trip to St John's Church in Banbury is always a highlight for our faith followinf residents and for all those who couldn't make the trip we held a lovely Havest festival in the home lead by Rosemary from our local Church.

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful day out today in Stratford-upon-Avon. 

We started the day off at Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm, where the residents enjoyed seeing different types of butterflies and having the butterflies land on them! 

We ended the day with a riverside picnic and feeding the ducks and geese.

Yesterday in our home we were visited by a Reflexologist, the lovely Denise.

She came and gave a presentation on the benefits of Reflexology before treating some of our residents to a hand massage using her unique Reflexology techniques which this was a big hit with everyone!

The residents and their family members enjoyed a lovely autumn walk around the grounds of Chacombe Park today, having a chat and a laugh whilst enjoying the beautiful surroundings and fresh air! We are extremely lucky to have all this natural beauty on our doorstep for everyone to take advantage of... at any time of the year.

Our residents were delighted with a visit from D’Artagnan, whose energy and enthusiasm for music had everyone smiling, clapping, and singing along. Thank you for brightening our day with your wonderful performance. One of our residents, Maureen, loved the music and said she cannot remember the last time she danced and sang so much! 

A lovely evening out for our residents at Banbury Fair! It was wonderful to see so many smiles and hear all the laughter. Resident John loved swapping his mobility scooter for a dodgem car!
 

Today we had a visit from AG Magicians, bringing fun, laughter and happiness into our home.

Happy birthday to one of lovely residents Jean!

Her family came to visit, also bringing her Great Granddaughter. They made a big fuss of her on her big day with flowers and present. After lunch the carers and her friends sang Happy birthday and presented a beautiful cake that was baked in house by of our chef Summit.
