Activities at Kingfisher Lodge Care Home

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Kingfisher Lodge Care Home

Virtual trip to the farm

When we cant get out to the farm we bring the farm to us. Great afternoon with a virtual visit to our local farm.We had a great insight as to a day in the life of a farmer. All from the comfort of our armchairs with a lovely hot cup of tea.

Abba Afternoon

What a wonderful afternoon we had. Dressing up and listening to all the fabulous tracks of Abba. Our residents were dancing in their seats. We look forward to the day we can have entertainers back into our home, however in the meantime we are doing pretty well getting our staff dressed up and playing the part.

Pamper Time

We understand the importance of being pampered and feeling special. So even when the hairdresser is unable to visit at the moment. All our staff make sure they step in and make a fuss of our residents.

Local Council help families stay connected

Kingfisher Lodge were so pleased to be one of the Care homes in the region to be awarded with a brand new iPad from Bath and North East Somerset Council. During the first lock down in March 2020, with residents not being able to see their families regularly. Staff realised that this is going to make a big impact on the well being of their residents. So they started video calls on a tablet they had, this was a great way to interact with missed loved ones. The new ipad has been a much welcomed addition to keeping families connected.
