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
Festive Minibus Trip to Lound Plant Centre
Today we took some of our residents out on our home Mini Bus to Lound Plant Centre for a nice cup of Tea, festive treats and a browse around the Christmas decorations. They also saw the Animals too! Then it was back to the home to start decorating for Christmas - what a super day!

Pamper Day with Amy
Today our residents enjoyed a pamper morning with our lovely Hairdresser Amy Marshall and boy do we all feel glamorous now!
Children in Need Cyclathon Fundraiser
Our home staff donned their finest Superheroes costumes for a 12-hour Cyclathon raising money for Children in Need.
General Manager Sarah Wright said, “The staff here at the home really are incredible and the miles just kept notching up and up over the 12 hour event. A big thank you to all relatives and our community friends who have donated toward this incredible cause.”
Needless to say the delicious Cupcakes prepared by the home’s hospitality team kept everyone going throughout the day and the homes residents certainly enjoyed them too with one adding, “These Cupcakes are absolutely delicious. I do feel a bit guilty that I cannot jump on the saddle and pedal too but it has been great to see Pudsey and the staff here really are superheroes doing this for Children in Need. Well done to all of them!”
Gingerbread and Christmas wrapping fun!
Getting into the christmassy spirit here at Oulton Park as our residents created their own Gingerbread Men decorations followed by some present wrapping too for our Christmas Fayre.
Wild Encounters visit
Today we had a visit from some of our furry friends at Wild Encounters Events Ltd. Our residents enjoyed their time petting and learning about the different animals and their lives. Now we are all looking forward to the selection of animals they will bring in next time!
