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
Pancake Day 2021
The smell of freshly made pancakes flooded through the home today as we had a fantastic time joining Christian Aid in a 'flipping' competition via zoom. Our residents along with many people, of all ages, from the Chinnor community joined in. We were delighted to see so many people taking part, and sharing creative crafts too!
We even learnt about the 'Swedish pancake' tradition! Everyone agreed, lemon and sugar is the best topping! Although... we will definitely be trying the Swedish recipe next year (if not before).
Thank you everyone for making it such a special day.
Valentines Day
Valentine’s Day at Hempton Field was full of LOVE and all things nice. Our chef cooked a wonderful 3 course meal and our residents we're treated to some scrumptious glazed heart shaped biscuits and personal selection of chocolates to enjoy throughout the day.
Our tree of dreams looked beautiful, decorated with crafted hearts by our residents and messages of love and hope.
Chinese Lunar New Year
Our Chinese New Year celebrations have started well, with our residents sitting down today for a beautiful and authentic chinese meal cooked by the chef.
Medau Exercise Session
Just look at our wonderful residents enjoying there Medau exercise session today, the use of handheld apparatus is what really sets Medau apart – the exercises are varied, interesting and interactive.
You can see from their faces just how much fun they have; Medau Movement is easily accessible for people of all ages and abilities, from beginners through to advanced, as each movement can be adapted to suit each participants experience and capability.
Badges of Pride
The team here at Hempton Field understand their responsibility in ensuring our residents and colleagues are kept safe from this dreadful COVID-19 virus.
We embarked on a ‘whole-home’ approach to vaccination in early January; and today, our GM Sharon had the honour to hand out the ‘Barchester-Badge of Pride’ to celebrate the team taking the vaccine and, in their own way providing our route out of these dark days.
The badge sends a massive message of ‘THANKS’ from the wider Barchester family for leading by example, being together in our purpose and playing their part in the fight against COVID-19.
Wearing it with pride shows everyone their positivity to the vaccination program and encourages others to do the same #DontWaitVaccinate #BarchesterTogether
National Pizza Day
We got together to celebrate National Pizza Day on February 9th - Our residents built their own pizzas, selecting from an array of toppings to create their individual taste sensations. Mabel loves Italian food and plumped for 'Pineapple and Pepperoni'?
Chef, cooked them all in our kitchen to serve them as a special supper treat, everyone was pleased with their personal choices (especially Mabel)
