Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

The residents enjoyed an afternoon of indulgence today, tucking into a fine selection of cheese, wine and crackers.

A great time was had with fellow residents and family members, we even had a bit of Bob Marley playing in the background!

It was such a success, they requested this as a monthly event. 

New year party for our residents and family members today!. The residents enjoyed a bit of Disco dancing to celebrate the new year!

They also saw a TV concert of Andre Rieu, who's very popular in our home. The kitchen staff created a sumptuous selection of sandwiches and cakes which many enjoyed with a cheeky glass of wine.

Santa came for a visit to continue the Christmas cheer and met the residents, staff and family members, they were all so excited to see him! The residents also took part in some dancing and singing along to Christmas carols.

The day was finished off with Movie club, this week it was Love actually, which the residents love!

We has smiles all round at Chacombe Park this morning as our residents welcomed back parents and their little ones to the Chacombe Park Playgroup.

There was music, laughter and lots of fun as the generations enjoyed a lovely toddler time group ran by Phillipa from Rhythm Time. 

Resident Barbra said "It's lovely too see all of the toddlers playing together and having fun, it reminds me of when I was a teacher."

A friend of one of our residents brought in a special visitor today, Freddie the dog! 

One resident in particular, Barbara, was over the moon to meet him, for her and some residents he was a fond reminder of pets they once had.
