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
A Charitable Donation
Our maintenance team have been working hard lately to build together a donation for the local charity in Keynsham Hope for Ukraine!
We collected together our overstock of gloves, aprons, bedding, boxes, tools, cleaning items, masks and other items that people in need may find so helpful - we thought all of this was going in the bin, so why not donate to people in need?!
A big well done and thank you is deserved for our maintenance at Kingfisher Lodge for this kind and gracious donation to a local charity!
Happy 10 Years Kelly!
Our Activities Lead Kelly celebrated 10 years at Kingfisher Lodge this week, which is amazing! Kelly came to work and was surprised with flowers, a gift card and a special Barchester Gold Plated pin badge!
Congratulations on 10 years’ service Kelly, and here's to another 10!
A Trip to the Farm
Some of our residents here at Kingfisher Lodge enjoyed an afternoon out at Grimsby Farm feeding the animals and enjoying a coffee in their Barn Cafe!️
The animals were so adorable and we can’t wait to go back to see them again!️

Pride Garden Party
Last week we celebrated Pride Week in style! Our residents, staff and friends of the home enjoyed the fabulous Memory Lane Entertainment whilst drinking cocktails, playing beer pong and even getting a few temporary tattoos to show off our Pride! We are so happy the weather held out and the day was able to be enjoyed by all.
Family and friends events are a key part of our activities programme at Kingfisher Lodge and we regularly welcome new ideas for these during the Relative's Meetings held monthly in the home.
Pint Anyone?
We enjoyed a trip out to the pub yesterday for drinks and socialising. Residents met up with friends and family for a relaxed afternoon before heading back to Kingfisher Lodge for dinner.
Regular outings to pubs, local landmarks, parks and activity centres are cornerstones of our life enrichment programme. To find out more about life at Kingfisher Lodge please call us today.
