Activities at Kingfisher Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
Summer Fete
We recently held our Summer Fete here at Kingfisher Lodge and it was an incredible day.
We welcomed lots of family members and members of our community into our residents home to enjoy amazing entertainment, great food and fantastic company for our summer fair
A BIG THANK YOU to Black Sheep Harmony and Nick for entertaining us for the afternoon.
Also a big thank you everyone who came along and helped us raise money for Saltford Community Support fund, a local charity here in the heart of Saltford.
Mini Bus Trip to Longleat
What a fabulous time we had visiting the brilliant Longleat Safari Park!
Our residents had a fabulous adventure on our recent mini bus trip as we went on the hunt for some exotic animals.
We spotted some amazing lions, zebra and of course those playful monkeys who enjoyed climbing all over our mini bus. Longleat is surrounded by beautiful gardens and our residents thoroughly enjoyed exploring the landscape. The weather was glorious with the sun shining all day. It was a prefect excuse for a quick ice cream stop.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us on this wonderful trip, it truly was an amazing day
M Shed Museum
Our residents had a wonderful time visiting the M Shed Museum in Bristol recently.
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed learning about Bristol's rich history, with some of our resident’s reminiscing about how they lived through these times. Its always a pleasure to learn and discuss with our residents about past historic events.
We love our trips out on the minibus and even had time for a refreshing pint at a lovely local pub.
Aerospace Museum Adventure
At Kingfisher Lodge we have recently embarked on an adventure too the Aerospace museum in Filton.
We had such a brilliant day, we learnt all about the history of the aircraft and had the opportunity to see the incredible Concorde.
This was such a special day for us but even more incredible for one of our lovely residents who actually worked on its engine throughout his career. It brought back so many great memories for us all.
A fishy visit to Bristol Aquarium
What a fishy day we had visiting Bristol Aquarium. Our residents and activity team enjoyed watching rays, piranhas, crabs, puffer fish and many more. It was so interesting learning about the different species of fish that we met along the way. At one point we even ended up in the jaws of a Megalodon
We then all went for a walk around the docks to count our minutes for “Get Barchester Moving” that launches today and ended with some fish and chips for lunch.
We cant wait for the next bus trip adventure!
A Windy Weston trip!
We have been busy on another outing at Kingfisher Lodge!
This time we took our lovely residents to a beautiful but very windy Weston-super-Mare.
It was a brilliant day out, with a visit to the pier and some time spent in the arcade which brought back many lovely memories for our residents.
Of course a trip to the seaside is not complete without a stop for some delicious Fish and Chips.
We cant wait for our next visit!
