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
Donations from local Building Society
Kingfisher Lodge Care would like to say a massive thank you to The Coventry Building society and their customers in Keynsham high street. for their kind donations.
Julie and Vicky from the activity team at Kingfisher Lodge were overwhelmed when they went to pick up the presents 4 days before Christmas, and cant thank the generous staff and local customers enough for the lovely gifts. There were bags full of goodies including, sweets, chocs, slippers, toiletries and lots more.
It was lovely to see all the residents faces when they opened the presents with staff on Christmas Day.
Christmas wreath masterclass
Residents at Kingfisher Lodge were treated to afternoon wreath making masterclass. What amazing creations they made. They helped with the foraging, designing, making and then hanging them around the home.
Elf Day
Never one to shy away from fund raising or a party. Staff and residents got into the spirit of Elf day this year. Some dressed up whilst others dressed them up. They had lots of fun all whilst raising money for the Alzheimer's society too.
Christmas Party
Staff got all dressed up for a day of Christmas fun and games with the residents. They spent the afternoon playing music, singing songs and just having a good old fashioned party.
Local School help decorate the tree
The children at Saltford school each made hand made decorations to help decorate the Christmas tree. They all came up with the idea to let the home know that the children were thinking of them. The residents really enjoyed receiving them and placing each one pride of place for everyone to see.
Beer & Pizza Day
The residents celebrated Beer & Pizza Day. The kitchen made some incredible pizzas and the activities team got the beers.
