Activities at Kings Park Care Home

Residents gathered together for a nail biting skittle tournament up on our Memory Lane community recently...

What a fun afternoon of laughter and fun everyone had as they battled it out to see who could knock down the most pins.

Well done everyone for a fabulous session!

Recently in the home we were thrilled and delighted some people into our home, who we know very much regard as friends...

The fabulous Ferndown Strummers are regular faces here at Kings Park, rehearsing in our top floor lounge every Thursday afternoon.

As a special thank for the use of space, The Strummers truly delighted residents and staff with an afternoon concert, which included music by The Beatles, Morecambe & Wise, Neil Diamond and more!

There was LOTS of singing, dancing and much, much merriment from all who came to listen!

THANK YOU The Ferndown Strummers for this wonderful animated afternoon. We are very much looking forward to your next concert; your Christmas Show-Ho-Ho!

Here at Kings Park, our residents love nothing more than sitting down for a good old reminisce...

Gathering together over a cuppa, residents shared memories and stories which were prompted by pictures, books and beach themed props.

Such a delightful thing to do as a group - warms the 'cockles' of the heart! (See what we did there?!)

On a bright sunny day, not so long ago, some of the lovely ladies from Kings Park ventured out on a wonderful bus trip...

It was 'all aboard!' the Kings Park mini bus for a fabulous, leisurely drive, which took everyone through the the stunning avenue of trees near Kingston Lacy, before they admired the open fields on the other side.

The Georgian town of Blandford Forum was their final destination, where the ladies enjoyed a stroll over the towns foot bridges and took in the scenery by the riverbank.

Heading back towards the town itself, they stopped for the obligatory cuppa and some deliciously tasty chocolate brownies, whilst enjoying the fresh air, before boarding the bus once more and heading back in time for lunch.

What a delightful way to while away the morning.

Residents here at Kings Park were completely entranced by some very weird and wonderful visitors to our home recently...

We were joined by the fabulous folk from Creature Teachers, who arrived at our home with a wide variety of fluffy, furry, smooth and wiggly creatures of all shapes and sizes, as the residents got up close and personal with them, learning all about them as they made their way around each of the residents.

What a fascinating way to spend the afternoon!

THANK YOU The Creature Teachers for a wonderful afternoon.

We would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the lovely, kind-hearted newly weds who stopped by our home recently and gifted us with a beautiful floral display for our residents to re-arrange and dot about our home...

Turning up at Kings Park on Saturday, they brought with them a giant display of flowers from their special day, the day before, much to the delight of our residents here in the home.

Residents from our Memory Lane community were really excited to set to work and prepare some smaller displays for everyone to enjoy.

Sadly, they left before we could ask their names.

Whoever you are, many CONGRATULATIONS on your nuptials and all at Kings Park wish you both every happiness for now and the future!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful gesture, which has already given us so much pleasure.
