Activities at Kings Park Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Claudia Canosa
Claudia moved to the UK from her native South Africa with her family some 6 years ago, although her family are of Italian decent.
With a caring nature, Claudia worked for a domiciliary care company helping in people in the community before eventually working in a care home environment, working up to the role of Senior Carer.
Realising how much she enjoyed making the residents smile, Claudia has now stepped into the role of Activities Lead here at Kings Park and very much loves the interaction with our residents, who have all taken a real shine to her.
Claudia can regularly be seen with our residents in a very creative capacity, enjoying flower arranging or leading everyone in a game of good old fashioned Bingo!
When at home, Claudia is a mother to two boys and a girl and also a pet mum to the the gorgeous, Molly - a Jack Russell cross.
She loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa in front of a good rom/com, with: The Holiday, The Lakehouse and The Notebook as some of her favourites to date.
We are so happy to have her as part of the Kings Park team.

Life at Kings Park Care Home
Shopping for Christmas Decorations
We had a lovely trip to Haskins this afternoon.
Haskins Garden Centre have certainly pulled out all the stops on their Christmas displays.
Of course we had to stop off at the cafe for cake!
Happy Wrapping
We had a festive afternoon of gift wrapping today.
Thank you to our lovely volunteers from 'Wrap This, Wrap That' for coming in and helping us wrap presents.
We enjoyed baileys and a mince pie too!
Ferndown Middle School Come to Sing
Kings Park gave Ferndown middle school a very warm welcome yesterday morning.
Year 6 came to perform their very special Christmas performance that they had been working hard on.
We enjoyed listening to the orchestra and the very talented singers.
Thank you Ferndown Middle School for your wonderful performance. Merry Christmas to you All!
Christmas Jumper Day
What a wonderful festive day here at Kings Park.
We celebrated Christmas Jumper day where the staff wore their favourite festive jumpers and our residents wore Christmassy reds.
We joined in with Barchester's virtual Christmas sing a-long where Eric & Mary showed off their fantastic dancing skills.
Wimborne Shopping Trip
What a fun day we had yesterday.
Our residents had an amazing time travelling in our minibus to our local historical town of Wimbourne.
We all explored the local shops and stopped for a coffee in a cafe.
Celebrating 30 Years of Care!
What better day than the 30th could we celebrate Barchester Healthcare’s 30 years of care!
Celebrations were enjoyed throughout the afternoon as residents, relatives, team members and visitors all enjoyed some tasty food and luscious cakes mixed with some lively music and great conversation.
It is so lovely seeing what a warm and friendly community we have at Kings Park, and to see everyone enjoying the afternoon.
