Activities at Kings Park Care Home

What an incredible gift we received recently from our friends over at Ferndown Sainsbury's!

After a phone call from the store saying they have some flowers (a day over their sell by date) for us, our Admin Assistant, Jacqui went across to collect them, only to find two trolley loads of flowers waiting for collection!

Claudia, our Activities Lead was quick to respond with some seasonal crafting sessions, helping all the residents make some pumpkin displays to place around our home, with lots of the flowers still looking gorgeous.

What a wonderful job they have done!

THANK YOU Sainsbury's for your kindness and generosity - You have made a lot of our residents smile with your wonderful gift!

With the poppy appeal now well under way, our residents were busy doing their bit to ensure everyone in the home 'Remembered' those who fought in battles past...

Pictured is the lovely Audrey, who took it upon herself to do a bit of Remembrance colouring and has don a wonderful job!

Royal British Legion Club Ferndown have kindly left us some poppies for anyone who wishes to buy a poppy and donate to their annual Poppy Appeal on our reception desk.

Don't forget to pop in and get one and WEAR YOUR POPPY WITH PRIDE!

It might be Halloween, but here at Kings Park our residents are steering clear of the scary stuff and in its place decided upon something a little more cheerful...

Residents gathered up on our Memory Lane floor, set about creating some 'Happy' Halloween bunting, with cheerful ghosts and ghouls - No scares or tricks here this Halloween season!

What a lovely job they have all done with they creativity!

So whatever you are getting up to this Halloween, take a leaf out of our book and steer clear of the scares and put the 'Happy' into Halloween instead.

We were delighted to welcome the fabulous Andy into our home recently, who came along with his accordion...

Residents all gathered together up on our Memory Lane community, where they clapped and sang along to lots of well known classic tunes from yesteryear, which got our residents chatting and smiling as they reminisced together.

Andy very kindly popped into some of the residents rooms who were unable to join us in the main lounge, where they were able to enjoy their own personal serenade, spreading much joy in our home as a result.

Thank you Andy for your sharing your amazing talent and for showing all our residents so much kindness and compassion through your musical gift!

Residents here at Kings Park love to be able to have access to regular exercise...

So recently we logged into the fabulous on demand system called Oomph, where we have access to a multitude of different activities, music, exercise classes and much, much more!

There was an great turn out in our ground floor lounge for this and residents really got stuck in to their morning workout, helping them all to stay fitter and stronger for longer.

Well done Kings Parkers for your amazing efforts and THANK YOU to Oomph for the wonderful session.

Our lovely ladies here at Kings Park, recently spent a delightful afternoon together...

The aim was for them to collectively create a beautiful, floral display to showcase in our reception area, in order to welcome everyone into our home.

My goodness, what a truly wonderful job they have done!

Each person took it in turns to add to the display, making it a real team effort.

An afternoon very well spent - WELL DONE LADIES!
