Activities at Kings Park Care Home

There was a lot of laughter and giggling up on our Memory Lane floor recently...

What, oh, what was going on up there?

Well, here at Barchester Healthcare's Kings Park, we are all about 'Celebrating Life' in whatever way we can, so that's exactly what we did!

A supersized session of fun and games was on the cards for all our residents, with everyone gathering up on our Memory Lane floor, where there was table tennis, hook-a-duck, darts, and shooting targets available for all to join in.

Everyone had a go, even our staff got involved, showing off a little!

There was so much in the way of fun and laughter, with all our residents who joined in having the very best afternoon.

Let's hope we can do many more similar afternoons as we progress further into 2024.

Steve, was back at Kings Park recently, along with his GIANT Scrabble board, getting everyone using their brains for another high tension match...

It was Kings Park residents vs. Steve this time and it was a very close run match, with the residents finally pipping Steve to the win by a very narrow margin of only 2 points!

GO, TEAM KINGS PARK!!!! We knew you could do it!

THANK YOU, Steve, for another wonderful afternoon well spent - The residents have really enjoyed themselves.

Our fabulous Activities Lead, Claudia, recently set up a pop-up nail salon in our ground floor cafe area and she wasn't short of clientele...

The residents were all keen to take it in turns to receive a file and a polish, creating some wonderfully elegant nails as a result.

With so many colours of polish to pick from, they were really spoilt for choice!

Don't they look lovely?

We welcomed the wonderful Bee Chumley Vocalist to our home to entertain our lovely residents recently...

Gathering up in our Memory Lane lounge, residents were loving Bee's music, getting off their chairs for some dancing and singing along!

Just take a look at how happy they all were as they enjoyed their musical afternoon.

THANK YOU, Bee, for the most wonderful session.

We very much look forward to seeing you again very soon and everyone commented about your beautiful dress too! It was lovely!

Our gorgeous babies & toddlers were back in action this week, spreading a little mischief, much to our delight...

Residents love to hear the children laugh and giggle at our weekly Kings Kids sessions and today was certainly no exception to this rule.

Pictured is resident, Eileen, enjoying a cuddle with a little one, whilst another little visitor was spotted playing a cheeky game of peek-a-boo behind the curtains!

Our baby & toddler group happens every Thursday morning from 10.30am - 12pm and there's no need to book, simply pop along and see what we're all about.

The session is completely FREE of charge and everyone is welcome to come along.

Here at Kings Park residents recently celebrated the birth of one of the most popular icons of rock n' roll...

With his birthday on 8th January, Elvis Presley would have celebrated his 89th birthday if he had still been with us, so we felt it only right and proper that we acknowledge this very special day in history.

BORN ELVIS AARON PRESLEY in Tupelo, Mississippi.

One of the most famous individuals of his time, Elvis certainly left his mark on the world of music, with many, many very popular songs songs to his name - Beloved by generations old and new.

To mark this special day, residents reminisced over some wonderful images of 'The King', as well as enjoying a very special Elvis edition of musical bingo, involving lots of singing & dancing by all who joined in.

Elvis was taken from us all far too early, at the tender age of 42 years, but his music will live on forever!
