Activities at Hempton Field Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Nina Mullerworth
Hello, my name is Nina and I have had the privilege of working at Hempton Field in my role as Activities Coordinator for over 15 years and I am looking forward to many more! I have enjoyed continually developing in the role with a variety of training courses, including a Level 2 NAPA and Aromatherapy Massage.
I love interacting with the residents and organising a varied programme of activities with a person-centred approach based on Barchester's Life Enrichment Programme of enhancing the wellbeing of mind, body and soul. This includes ensuring residents can continue to enjoy hobbies, life experiences and keep active through exercise and music. We are involved with local clubs and welcome in members of the community as well as a variety of outings in the minibus - these are always very popular!

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
The Village Centre in Chinnor
There was a warm welcome today when we went along again to the Forget Me Not Club at the Chinnor Village Centre this lovely group meets fortnightly. Residents Rosemary and Elizabeth really enjoyed the music and some fun quips from the band! Thank you to all the volunteers who help run the group as well as the team at The Village Centre.
We have invited all those who attend the group to our community afternoon tea on Friday 15th March so we very much hope we can return the hospitality.
Saxaophone Music all Around at Hempton Field for Valentines
There is always plenty of love and warmth at Hempton Field, but today there was that little bit more as we celebrated Valentine's Day. The home was decorated with love with a special menu for lunch topped off perfectly with saxophonist Richard playing some classic romantic songs. A day thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Celebrating Bob Marley's Birthday
Hempton Field residents had great fun celebrating Bob Marley's birthday last week. The hospitality team made a delicious Jamaican Jerk Chicken with rice and peas followed by rum cake and cream. We went into the afternoon sipping rum and relaxing to Bob Marley's music. Such a talent and his legacy really does live on.
You Can't Beat a Classic Board Game!
What a great fun afternoon playing monopoly at Hempton Field. Rosemary was thrilled to be the owner of Park Lane and Anne was very gracious accepting many trips to jail!
Celebrating the Year of the Dragon
Happy New Year, as we enter the year of the dragon astrologists are predicting it will be a year of change. For those born in the year of the dragon, that is those born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012, 2024 it is set to be a good year!
Hempton Field residents greatly enjoyed celebrating the start of the Chinese Lunar Year. The home has been beautifully decorated, there was a fantastic Chinese lunch and traditional Chinese music to accompany the celebrations.
Barchester's Big Quiz
Yesterday we joined fellow keen quizzers from over 250 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to put our collective general knowledge to the test!
The inaugural Barchester Big Quiz of the Year took place on 9th January 2024 and we got super competitive! We took on our sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital had the best quizzers. From historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums, the homes battled it out to find out who would prevail!
