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.

Life at Chacombe Park Care Home
Dementia choir at Winchester House
At Chacombe Park that's what we like to do - create memories, stay connected to the local community and ensure our residents are leading full enriched lives.
Today was the last day of our Dementia choir at Winchester house school until next year. It was a joyful one with lots of wonderful Christmas Carols, lots of festive food and mulled wine! The residents also received a Christmas gift!
Birthday and Boogies
This week at our home, we have been getting into the festive season, we celebrated a residents Birthday and also had live entertainment courtesy of the talented Vintage Ruby who graced us with her soulful melodies.
The live music proved very popular with residents and family members with them dancing around to "Dancing around the Christmas tree" as well as other Christmas classics!
Getting Festive
The festive season is fast approaching so it was a team effort to get the Christmas vibes going with a few of the residents having a wonderful time decorating the Christmas tree and adding a splash of colour to the home!
Seasonal Flower Arranging
Today at our home we had a lovely time from flower arranging to enjoying Live music!
Some of the staff got involved in helping with the activities Donna Phillips and Stephanie Hammond and our Division Lead who helped with taking residents to the live entertainment, thank you Hannah Boscott.
At Chacombe Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures.
Pumkins and Pinata
Today at Chacombe Park the residents were delighted to get a visit by children from the local Primary school. They had fun time colouring in artwork whilst engaging with the residents. The children had a great end to the visit by smashing a pinata and sharing all the sweets amongst themselves!
All the Fun of Banbury Fair
Today at Chacombe Park was the most exciting day for our lovely residents that went to the Banbury fair! They enjoyed taking in the sights and sounds of the occasion and the buzzing atmosphere of the fair! One our darling residents won a teddy for his mum he was overjoyed. Seeing the look on their faces was breathtaking!
