Activities at Chacombe Park Care Home

Happy birthday to one our lovely residents, the delightful Denise.

The staff and residents all made a fuss of her throughout the day and sang Happy Birthday as the cake arrived. It was beautifully baked and decorated by our newly appointed Head Chef John.

Everyone agreed, after tasting it, we can't wait for the next birthday! 

Sunday morning saw some of our residents take a trip to church for Sunday service which they look forward to each week.

After the service they had a bit of chitchat with fellow parishioners over a cuppa and biscuits. Keeping, and making new community connections is so important for our residents continued wellbeing. 

In the afternoon they enjoyed a walk around Chacombe village where they were greeted by a few local people and their four-legged friends who stopped to introduce themselves.

Open day at Chacombe Park was wonderful. We'd like to send a big Thank You to all those who joined us to meet the manager and take a tour of our newly refurbished home.

Our guests and residents enjoyed live entertainment with singing sensation the lovely D'Artagnan with his range of musical styles that had us all up and grooving! In the afternoon they took part in a bit of archery, guided by instructor Helen from Integr8Archery. 

The residents and family members and of course our General Manager and the staff got involved with the arrows of fun!

A few of the resident's enjoyed a trip to Barn Farm Plants in Wardington. It's a wonderful garden centre with a Cafe where they enjoyed coffee and delicious cake. They also enjoyed a bit of a browse around the Antiques shop, and loved admiring the flowers whilst taking a stroll through the relaxing aroma of all the beautiful lavender plants

The residents in our home today were treated to a bit of animal therapy with Herbie the dog. 

He visited residents in their rooms and around the home, he loves all the attention and brought so much joy to the residents. Margaret said Herbie had made her day!

A few of our resident's enjoyed a Tea party in our home today. They enjoyed some wine and delicious freshly made cakes baked in the home by our talented chef Summit. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, relaxing, treats, and some wonderful conversation amongst themselves and our staff.

A few of the resident's enjoyed a trip to our local pub for lunch to celebrate resident John's birthday.  After enjoying  their choosen pub grub lunch we all sang Happy birthday to him as he was presented with a lovely cake baked by our lovely chef Gillian!

At Chacombe Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends. Today qe got our gloves on for a bit of garden maintenance. Some of our residents enjoyed getting hands on with a bit of weeding as others did a little general tidying up of the garden area. 

John was in charge of explaining to the fellow residents which were flowers and not weeds!

The sunshine was out and the residents had a wonderful time having a picnic in the grounds of Chacombe Park. They enjoyed the lovely homemade sandwiches made by our chef and a variety of delicious cakes, and of course a few cheeky drinks were on offer including whisky, wine and soft drinks!

We really are so lucky to live in such a fabulous location.

A trip to Sunday Service is always a valued part of the week for our residents, this week we decided to join the morning service at Middleton Cheney Church, where they each took holy communion and enjoyed meeting several parishioners.

Ansha's colleagues, our residents, friends and family members within the home have chosen her to be Chacombe Park's 'Employee of the Month' for July 2025.

Ansha has been nominated by her colleagues, residents, and families for her kindness, compassion, and dedication. She goes above and beyond - not only in caring for residents but also in supporting their families through difficult times.

We are so grateful to have you on our team, Ansha! 

Our residents had a lovely afternoon enjoying the sunshine and a special visit from Freddie the Cocker Spaniel. Lots of smiles, cuddles, and wagging tails all around! 

Residents from Chacombe Park enjoyed a lovely outing to People’s Park in Banbury to mark Victory in Japan Day. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect, share memories, and honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served – all while enjoying the beauty of the park together.

The residents enjoyed their trip to the pub today for a fantastic lunch and a bit of a chitchat, always a very welcoming atmosphere at The George and Dragon Chacombe. One resident Peter asked when is the next trip to the pub, he wants to become a regular!
