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
Eyes down for Bingo!
Eyes down ladies and gentlemen for an afternoon of musical bingo! It's always a pleasure to see our residents having such a giggle and sing-along playing this group game.
Tai Chi by AGE UK
Our residents love to try something new, yesterday they enjoyed Tai Chi by Generation Games c/o a DVD supplied by our friends at Age UK Oxfordshire. We all found the short 15 minute easy to follow routine really enjoyable, with its soft flow movements to exercise the whole body and improve balance.
Yummy Candy Floss
Candy Floss - Tastes like 'all the fun of the fair' with every bite. Our ladies loved the homemade treats and the smell throughout the home was simply scrummy, it took everyone back to their childhoods, we had a lovely time reminiscing.
Beach Party and BBQ
This week’s Hempton Field Beach party was in full swing from first thing, until early evening. Our residents enjoyed cocktail mixing (mocktails for the staff) real for residents and guests.
Mabel couldn't wait to get behind the Tiki Bar and shake her stuff!
We were joined by many special friends from the local community who have been a huge support throughout the various lockdowns, having them in the home rather than seeing them over zoom was such a pleasure. Being able to say a big THANK YOU to them personally and having them over to enjoy the beach themed event and BBQ in some way completed the Hempton family.
We had an amazing day that took our residents right back to summer holidays by the sea. We were all also treated to a number of live performances from Troubadour Productions; Emma and Tom who made the party come alive with their Then of the Pier Show and Yellow Coat sketch which made us all feel like Hi-Di-Hi campers!
Later life living really is fun at Hempton Field, if you’d like to know more about our life enrichment program, have a show round and meet the team please give our home manager; Sharon a call on 01844 351766
Musical Trio
It's such a pleasure to be able to invite live performers back at Hempton Field.
Earlier this week with a break in the unpredictable summer weather we were treated to a magical musical performance from a trio of players.
Their beautiful melodies flooded through the open windows for all to enjoy. We can't thank them enough for such a wonderful performance.
Bingo - Together with Music
This afternoon its was eye-down everyone as we joined with Together with Music in a virtual bingo session linking several homes and day centre communities together for a wonderful interactive game of housey house, clickety click!
