Making everyday exceptional for our residents
Set in a charming country house in Streatley on Thames, this family-run care home has been providing personalised long-term residential and respite care in a warm, peaceful and happy environment for over 35 years.
📺 We’re delighted that ITV News Berkshire recently featured our therapeutic poetry sessions, offering an inspiring glimpse into moments that spark memories, encourage conversation, and brighten our happy home.
These sessions are specially designed to keep the minds of our elderly residents active, connecting them with nature-inspired poetry and stories that resonate deeply. Chris Meredith, Oxfordshire therapeutic poet leading the sessions, shared:
"Using inspirational poets who focus on nature—things residents can reconnect with from their past—brings them a great deal of joy. The most fantastic thing is when residents react, connecting to these stories. Many look forward to the sessions, engaging fully, adding their own thoughts, and loving to join in."
Therapeutic poetry offers many benefits to older adults, including stimulating memory recall, enhancing cognitive function, reducing loneliness, and fostering social engagement—all vital to wellbeing in later life. At Coombe House, these sessions are just one example of how we nurture both mind and spirit, creating a community where every resident feels valued, heard, and inspired.
For over 35 years, Coombe House has been a trusted source of care and support in the Goring and Streatley on Thames community. Combining traditional values with modern, personalised care, our home has grown into a place where generations have found comfort, dignity, and happiness. This legacy of compassionate, exceptional care is something we’re proud to uphold every single day.
