Activities at Oulton Park Care Home
We have a wonderful team here at Oulton Park and we all work together to provide a stimulating, active environment for our residents that live here. We are always looking for new and innovative ideas for our residents to be part of here, and our activities coordinator works very hard on planning and providing a stimulating busy schedule of activities, as well as assisting the residents with their daily living preferences. We have regular meetings with our families and residents to make sure we are providing things to suit their preferences. We as a home are registered with the National Activity Providers Association and strive to provide a person-centred approach for our residents here.
Louise Hunter-Hall
Hello my name is Louise, I am the life enrichment and activities coordinator at Oulton park care centre.
I joined Oulton Park late 2023 but I have worked in the care industry for over 20 years and I have a compassion for my role and work. During the 20years I have supported many different adults with different care needs including, nursing care, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, independent living and 1:1 needs. I have both my level 2&3 in care and level 2 in sign language.
At Oulton my role is to create and organise a range of engaging and meaningful activities. My role brings me a great deal of comfort and joy.
If I can just make 1 persons life better during my working day at Oulton Park then the day has been a success. I feel honoured, fortunate and blessed to do the job I do.

Life at Oulton Park Care Home
Happy 70th Wedding Anniversary
All we're going to say is Wow. Mr and Mrs Woodham celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary today. They got married when they were 18 years old and have been together ever since. Their children came to celebrate with them and they also received a royal congratulations from King Charles and Queen Camilla. Wow what an achievement. Congratulations to you both.
A Big thank you from Roly!
We all love a compliment within the home today one of our residents Roly expressed that he wished to say thank-you to the chef. Roly said the food was lovely and it speaks for itself. The Chef Bobby kindly came out after lunch service so that Roly could personally speak to him, he said to Bobby that the quality and selection of food was great and thank you on behalf of everyone.
Beach Time
Our residents love a little trip out to the beach, we can’t wait for summer and warmer weather to come back round. We have had discussions about the beach wheelchair and can’t wait to be able to take some residents onto the sand for them to feel the sand between their toes. Nothing like a lovely bit of sea air to clear the lungs either.
Gardening Club
Our residents love to spend time in the gardening helping to keep our garden clean and tidy. We regularly hold gardening club on a Monday. We like to ask the residents what plants they like to see in the garden. One of our residents also takes pride in pruning the flowers when they are ready and arranging them into vases around the home.
Seaside Community Party
We hosted a community event where we invited our wonderful friends from St Michaels Church into the home for a seaside party. The party involved a seaside themed show from St Michaels Church, along with games, whilst they were here enjoying the time they spent with the residents they also enjoyed a Fish and chips lunch made by our lovely chefs.
Horse Sanctuary Visit
We've been extremely busy here at Oulton Park getting our resident's out on the home's mini bus. This time we paid a visit to Redwings Horse Sanctuary.
This was a fantastic experience for our residents with a chance to get up close and personal to some lovely horses and to talk with the dedicated staff.
