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.
George Tantrum
Hi, I am George and I am the Activities Lead here at Kingfisher Lodge. I have worked in healthcare for over 6 years and I have a passion for enriching the lives of the people in our home. We offer a wide variety of life enrichment activities within our home, from minibus trips and group outings all the way to spending some one on one time with our residents. If you pop into the home, the chances is you’ll find me, so come say hello!

Life at Kingfisher Lodge Care Home
Royal Wedding Celebrations
Here at Kingfisher Lodge, we celebrated the royal wedding in style. We had a buffet lunch so we could all watch the wedding together, and our fabulous chef, Karen, made us all a special elderflower and lemon cake treat. Everyone got into the spirit of the celebrations, including the Nurses, Hosts, and the housekeeping staff, which made the day extra special for residents.
Employee of the Month - April
Congratulations to Chris Bennett, who was named as our Employee of the Month for April. Chris was nominated for always going the extra mile and for having a kind and caring relationship with all the residents he supports.
Queen's Birthday Preparations
Residents and our activities team created decorations and flower arrangements in preparation for the Queen’s birthday.
Avon Valley Lakes
Residents, along with Vicky & Julie, our activities team, had a great afternoon out at Avon Valley Lakes. It was wonderful to feel the fresh air, take in the scenery and meet some of the wildlife!
Employee of the Month - March
Well done to Karen, our Head Chef, who was named as the Employee of the Month for March. Karen is hard working, committed and dedicated to ensuring that residents are always served nutritious and tasty meals. General Manager, Clare, can be seen here presenting Karen with her certificate.
Easter Egg Hunt
The rain didn’t put everyone off at Kingfisher Lodge, where friends and families of residents and staff all joined together to give the children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren a fun afternoon hunting for eggs around the home.
Everyone enjoyed seeing their little faces when they found eggs, which were hidden under residents' wheelchairs, in drawers, under tables and even under a resident's hat.
The Chefs had made plenty of homemade cakes for the hungry little hunters, which they really enjoyed and took home, along with all the presents they had won.
In total, we managed to raise a little over £114 – thank you to everyone who made this possible.
