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
Hempton Tipple
At the beginning of summer, residents enjoyed an afternoon of preparing and making their own wine 'Hempton Tipple'! Once the wine was ready, our residents enjoyed tasting their own homemade drink - it went down a treat!
Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital
Residents were filled with joy during their visit to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Haddenham. Tiggywinkles Hospital cares for all sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife. Residents enjoyed their day out and were able to see a variety of animals being looked after under Tiggywinkles care.
Tour De Barchester
Staff from Barchester’s care homes up and down the country took on a gruelling 211 mile cycling challenge from Bradford to London to raise money for Barchester's Charitable Foundation. We were delighted to meet and support the core Tour de Barchester team of Simon McCall, Commercial Director, Genevieve Glover, HR Director, Tony Woollett, Recruitment Director and Shona Conway, Project Coordinator, joined by other Barchester staff members as they passed through our care home. To make things even more exciting, we decorated our home for the event with banners and flags, invited Richard the Saxophonist to play for us all and held a delicious BBQ for residents, families and staff to enjoy to welcome the amazing cyclists. Our residents and team members were thrilled to meet and greet the core Tour de Barchester team and to wish them best of luck. There were smiles and laughter all around.
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Here at Hempton Field we enjoyed a fun-filled 4 days for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations! We welcomed fantastic singers, spent time with our families and tried lots of tasty treats. The event was enjoyed by all and was a lovely way to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.
Haddenham Garden Centre
In May we made the most of the beautiful sunshine with a fantastic trip to Haddenham Garden Centre! We chose a selection of plants for our vegetable patch to plant with Tim our Gardener. We couldn’t resist looking at all the wonderful treats in the farm shop, and we were able to finish our visit with some tea and cake!
Nutrition and Hydration Week
As part of nutrition and hydration week we had a 'hydration station' at the home that has been very popular with residents and staff!
It was especially fun trying the jelly drops. which are sugar-free treats that are made of 95% water to help increase fluid intake.
