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
The Children's Coach Organisation
The Children’s Coach Organisation, which has been set up by Jo Bivens, is designed to help children with their confidence and transition into high schools. They held a celebration event, where the children and young mentors set up stalls, raffles and held a cake sale at Cliff Park Orminston Academy. The young mentors chose to raise money for 3 different charities, one of which was Oulton Park. Emmi Woolsey baked a cake and raffled it off; the winner was Jo Bivens, who kindly donated the cake to residents here at the home. The cake raised £25.00, which the girls have asked to go towards the residents' fund. We at Oulton Park would like to thank the children and staff at Cliff Park Ormiston, and especially Emmi Woolsey, for thinking of us.
Shake Your Tail Feather!
Oulton Park enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of dancing and sensory therapy when Jabadao visited us with their 'Shake Your Tail Feather' programme for our Memory Lane community - and it was a wonderful experience for residents!
'Shake Your Tail Feather' is a participatory dance event for care homes and day centres.
