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
Fun in the Garden
We had a great afternoon in the sun eating ice cream and having a sing along with Shannon.
Dementia Awareness Week
Kingfisher Lodge have been supporting Dementia Awareness week; we have a memory tree in our foyer and people have been sharing their special memories.
Phil Harper, Dementia Specialist at Barchester, met with residents' loved ones to give an awareness presentation. The feedback was great and many people were sorry that they could not attend. Phil has agreed to return and hold another session in June.
Deputy Manager, Katrina, held a small bake sale and raised £45 for the Alzheimer’s Society. Everyone particularly enjoyed the cherry cupcakes!
Dog Show at Kingfisher Lodge
The residents, staff, family and friends all recently enjoyed Kingfisher Lodge's very own dog show! It was a day filled with fun, laughter and lots of happy dogs!
Tropical Discovery Workshop
The residents enjoyed an afternoon handling and talking about many different exotic animals!
